How to Pick the Gender of Your Next Baby

While it may seem like an old wives tale, you actually can influence the gender of your next baby. While obviously there are no guarantees, you can increase the chances of conceiving a baby of a certain gender by taking certain steps.

Here are four ways you can influence the gender of your next baby:

1. Know Your Wife’s PH Levels

As a guy I never knew this before, but women have vaginal PH levels. They are either naturally acidic or alkaline. Acidic levels increase the chances of having a girl. Alkaline levels increase the chances of having a boy.

So if your wife is acidic and you’re both hoping for a boy, you know that you’ll have to try even harder and take even more steps to increase the chances of a boy, and vice versa. Therefore it’s important for your wife to know her PH levels.

2. Know Your Wife’s Ovulation Date

Everybody knows this one, but it bears repeating. There’s a specific day after your wife’s last period when she will ovulate. This is the only time that she can get pregnant. Knowing this will not only increase your chances of conceiving in general, but it will also allow you to time things “just right” so that you can increase the chances for a boy or a girl.

3. Know Which Foods Help Conceive a Boy or a Girl

I had a hard time believing that you could conceive a boy or a girl based on the food you eat, and it turns out I was right. You can’t conceive based on your diet alone. However it’s one factor that—combined with others—can increase your odds of conceiving your preferred gender. It’s one more thing you can do to help influence whether you have a boy or a girl.

4. Know Which Positions Favor Each Gender

This step gets more personal, so if you’re shy about this stuff I do apologize. However the fact is that if you use certain positions during sex, you’ll increase your chances of conceiving the gender you want. Based on the differences between X and Y Chromosome sperm, you want shallow penetration to conceive a girl, and deep penetration to conceive a boy.

Conclusion

If you’re trying to conceive a child of a specific gender, please realize that every baby is a blessing regardless of the gender. So if you’re trying for a boy and you end up with a girl, you’re still blessed.

However with just a little knowledge, you can increase the chances that you’ll conceive your preferred gender. And since none of these steps are hard, you have absolutely nothing to lose for trying.
