There can be a multitude of reasons why people look into gender selection. To complete their family, medical purposes, just because they want ‘a boy or a girl’ and so on. In some countries now though, ‘just because’ isn’t a good enough reason, and medical gender selection has been banned. So is there another way to select the gender of your next baby? Yes there is!

Although we live in a society where we have freedom of choice, there are of course limits and boundaries that our country’s governments and leading bodies have set out. In some countries where a certain sex has reached considerably more than the other, ruling parties have stepped in and banned medical gender selection.  Can you afford to travel to another country to receive this expensive and invasive treatment? Well not many of us could! IVF, PGD, Microsort, The Ericsson method all come at a price, and this is hardly surprising. But could you afford this treatment along with air fare, and hotel expenses? And then at the end of this very trying time, what happens if you don’t even conceive, let alone conceive that little girl or boy that you so desperately wanted. Could you afford to do it all again?

Are there other methods of preconception gender selection?

Natural gender selection is taking the world by storm, and it has an unbelievable success rate. With around 75%-95% of couples ‘really’ getting their dream baby!

So what is natural gender selection all about? How is it possible to conceive a girl, or conceive a boy without a medical team in the same room?

It’s all about preparing your body, and a few other little bits of knowledge!

The PH level of your body can influence the gender of your baby at conception. You must know when you will ovulate, then you can plan the right time to have sex. Learn about sperm! Sounds strange? but altogether fascinating stuff! Believe it or not, the sex of your baby all depends on these little guys, so the more you know the better prepared you can be!

Or take a closer at the world of gender selection including medically assited techniques http://www.new-baby-and-beyond.com/gender-selection.html

Determining gender of baby pre-conception has been something people have been trying since the dawn of time.  In the past, the techniques to accomplish choosing a boy or girl child involved a lot of guesswork, some old wives tales, and maybe a tiny bit of science.  There were foods to conceive a boy, positions to conceive a girl, exercises to do and elixirs to drink.  Right or wrong, these methods were hard to prove effective… or even ineffective.  Under normal circumstances you have a 50/50 chance of producing the desired sex anyway, so unless you the same methodology is closely followed and that data is gathered over a longer period of time – there’s just no way of knowing which gender selection pregnancy techniques worked best.  Until now.

The tips and tricks below will teach you how to have a boy baby.  They’ve been gathered and compiled together using carefully plotted research over a period of many years.  With just a few modifications to your diet, exercise, and sexual routine, you can determine gender of baby each time, every time.  Here are just some of the techniques you should be using in order to have that son you’ve always wanted:

* The Shettles Method – One that that’s been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt: male sperm (y-sperm) travel faster than female sperm (x-sperm).  It’s also been noted that the x-chromosomed sperm die out faster than the female ones, which live longer and tend to have more endurance.  Taking this into account, the shorter the distance that needs to be traveled to reach the egg – the MUCH greater your chances are of having a male child.  As the distance gets further, your chances of conceiving a girl are greatly increased.

Where does this all apply in how to have a boy baby?  The answer is simple: the closer you have intercourse to your exact ovulation date, the better your chances of having a male child.  Try to plan as much sex as possible on or about the date of ovulation (usually 1  day before or after).  The Shettles technique recommends having sex as early as 24 hours before ovulation up to and including no more than 12 hours past the predicted time you ovulated in order to greatly increase your chances of conceiving a boy.

* Foods to Conceive a Boy – Bananas!  Salty foods, dairy products, and bananas are all said to help gender selection boy efforts.  Eating more calories than normal can do it also, and it’s been shown that women who are getting a full supply of all necessary nutrients tend to create more male babies.  Be sure to be taking the best prenatal vitamins.

* Caffeine – Right before intercourse, the male partner should drink 1 to 2 cups of caffeinated coffee or a similar beverage.  This gives a supercharged boost to the already fast x-sperm, increasing chances for a male-favored conception.

* Adjust Your pH Level – Making sure you have the proper pH levels in your reproductive tract is one of the most important ways to choose the sex of baby.  An acidic pH will tend to destroy sperm, with the x-sperm dying off more quickly (remember – they’re faster but not stronger than y-sperm!).  This leaves the unwanted condition of higher levels of y-sperm in a man’s semen.  So when trying to conceive a baby boy, make certain you’re promoting an alkaline environment by not eating a lot of spicy or acidic foods.

* Boxers or Briefs? – If you’re looking to create a son instead of a daughter, your best bet is boxer shorts.  The further from the body the testicles are allowed to hang, the more regulated the temperature of a man’s semen.  Keep them in close to the body, as in the case of briefs, and many sperm will die from the higher temperature levels.  And since the male sperm die faster than female sperm, this hurts your chances of having a boy.

* Sexual Positioning – Once again, the speed of the individual x and y sperm plays a factor here.  The closer the male can deposit semen to the woman’s cervix, the better the chances of an x-sperm reaching the egg first.  Therefore, choose positions to conceive a boy during intercourse that allow for the deepest possible penetration.  It’s been suggested that the ‘doggie-style’ position is one of the best ways to accomplish this.

* Orgasms During Sex – It’s been proven that if the female partner accomplishes orgasm during sex, two things happen: one, the contractions help move the sperm upward and into the cervix.  Two, the endorphins released into the body during orgasm create a more alkaline environment, which we already know is better for male sperm.  When trying for a boy, keep this in mind!

Dreaming of having a son? Hi-tech labs provide services to choose gender of baby these days, but at a very high price. Some of these procedures can cost thousands of dollars, with no guarantee you’ll get a male child. But what if there were natural gender selection methods that taught you how to conceive a baby boy? What if you could pick baby gender from home, with no doctors, drugs, science or voodoo magic?

Day 3 – Part 4 of 4

With a one-child policy in effect for two generations, the Chinese have it tough when it comes to raising a family. Gender selection at conception and pregnancy stages has always been an important consideration to the Chinese family as it is only the Son, and not the Daughter, that will eventually carries the family name.

When it comes to selecting a child’s gender at birth, the Ancient Chinese provides a detailed and pretty impressive Pregnancy Gender Selection Chart (or Chinese Gender Conception Calendar), which gives a systematic prediction on the gender of a baby based on two factors; (a) the age of conception of the mother, as well as (b) the month of conception.

This Pregnancy Gender Selection Chart is not to be confused with the better known Four Pillars Birth Chart (or Bazi) in the field of Feng Shui. The Four Pillars Reading is used for predicting the fortunes of a person based on his birth information, where else the Pregnancy Gender Selection Chart is meant for pre-determining the gender of a child at the conception and pregnancy stages.

This rather well-known Chart was discovered in the Ming’s Tomb and is apparently kept by the Imperial Family. However, there are in effect numerous similar gender selection guides circulating among the Chinese population, especially in the field of Traditional Chinese Medicine. This Chart produced here is meant purely for leisure read.

There is no scientific basis on its prediction, although older generations of Chinese have proclaimed it to be highly accurate. Some feel that after all, with the largest population in the world, the Chinese got to know a thing or two about childbirths. In effect, with only 2 gender selections in the word (i.e. either boy or girl), no prediction mechanisms, either ancient or modern, will do far wrong if they do not deviate too far from the 50% benchmark.

Although this method of gender selection is safe and natural, it is not meant to be a serious alternative to modern medical science. In modern society as we know of, there are indeed couples who do have problems producing either boys or girls, and the problem can be attributed to both the Father and Mother, and not solely to the Mother in the case of the traditional Chinese Pregnancy Gender Selection Chart. These can be affected by many modern factors not found in Ancient China, including radio waves activities exposed to from modern equipments.

The Chinese conception calendar also know as the Chinese conception chart (and known as many other things as well) was once used for predicting the gender of an unborn baby.

As in many cultures many years ago, the males of the family had it good! If they were the son of a rich family they may have gone to school, otherwise they could work in the fields. Only the males could inherit the family business and preoperties, and pass on the family name. The female gender however were not really quite so lucky. They couldn’t inherit businesses or property, and then would have a marriage arranged for them before they went off to bare their own children.

Needless to say, male babies were the more sought after gender.

The Chinese conception calendar was said to have been found inside an ancient burial tomb of some Chinese nobles over 700 years ago.

With the mothers age down the side and the month of conception along the top, it is said that were the two lines meet and cross is where you will; find the gender of the unborn (or yet to be conceived) child!
Can a peice of paper with pretty little pink and blue squares really hold the key to predicting the male/female birth rate?

<b>The Natural Gender Selection Methods</b>

If chancing your luck with an old chart gives you the shivers, maybe you should try combining it with something a little more scientific although totally natural.

Natural gender selection is a plan of changing little aspects within your life that naturally make your body ready for conception and pregnany. Along with this preparation you also learn timing and positions that can make all the difference to the gender of the baby that you could conceive.

Did you know that it’s the sperm that hold the key to your baby’s gender and not the egg? Did you know that these X and Y type sperm both have totally different characteristics that once identified can help you to select either a boy or a girl?

<b>So Chinese gender chart or natural gender selection, which one’s for you?</b>

Why not combine the two? If you have all boys and would love a girl to plan shopping trips with in the future, or all girls and really need to give your hubby a happy smiley face by telling him you’re expecting a boy. Then using both methods could help give you the chance of completing your family with the gender of your choice!
