Millions of women have sought ways to conceive a baby boy, but they have not succeeded. If you have been trying to have a baby boy without success, this article will give you some effective tips on how to conceive one. There is no one method that can guarantee a hundred percent success rate, but some have proven to be quite effective in increasing one’s chances of giving birth to a male child.
Eat Right
This is one of the most important tips on how to conceive a boy because diet and nutrition plays a vital role in determining the baby’s gender. Studies show that Men and women who eat healthy breakfasts and consume 2000 calories daily when trying to get pregnant will have higher chances to give birth to a boy. In addition, a diet with large amounts of sodium and potassium will help you to have a boy baby. You can get these nutrients from banana, strawberries, and many other high sodium foods.
Avoid stressing your man/woman
Yes, it may do. Unfortunately, if your partner is suffering from stress, it can reduce the quality of his semen. That means there may be fewer sperm in his semen. Stress can also affect how far and fast the sperm can swim. Stress can also put a dampener on your sex life. If your partner is feeling under pressure, he’s less likely to have the energy to jump into bed when you’re ready to make a baby.
In fact, if either of you is feeling stressed, it can affect your libido. You may not have sex so often, which is the last thing you need when you’re trying to conceive a boy
Try it from behind
Also known as “Doggie Style,” this position is highly recommended to couples hoping to conceive a boy, says Willy Ricin, founder of My Secret in pregnancy. Doggie Style allows deeper penetration, and consequently, during ejaculation, the male sperm get deposited closer to the cervix.” In general, male sperm are faster, but they don’t live as long as females do, so the less distance they have to travel, the better!
Do it standing up
Apparently to conceive a boy, you should have sex standing up! This position, like doggie style, enables deep penetration and is also thought to give the faster male sperm an advantage seeing as sperm must swim against gravity to get to the egg. While not backed by science, it’s worth a shot if you’re hoping for a male.
Choose a position that makes you orgasm
Seriously, we’re not joking! In short, an orgasm causes your vagina to become more alkaline. Fortunately for you, this shift in pH balance majorly favours male sperm, meaning they have a greater shot at actually reaching that egg and fertilizing it first. So go ahead, enjoy yourself, if you catch our drift (hint, hint). Plus, shouldn’t we all be doing this anyway?
Wait until you ovulate
Timing is, of course, everything when it comes to making a baby. Believe it or not though, the day you do the deed (and the days you don’t too!) can potentially influence the gender of your child. To increase your chances of a boy, experienced nurse and midwife Carmen, advises avoiding intercourse in the days (at least four or five) leading up to ovulation. Then do it the day of, she directs. Since male sperm are faster swimmers, the theory here is that’d they’d reach the egg first before the females. “Now, the trick is figuring out exactly when you ovulate!” Don’t worry ladies — there are kits for that.
Have him drink coffee
A half hour or so before getting it on, have your man down a strong cup of caffeinated coffee or a large soda! The author of How to Choose the Sex of Your Baby, believes that this will give sperm an extra boost, particularly the males.
