Top 3 Ways To Conceive A Baby Girl (and Not A Single Doctor In Sight!)

In this day and age, some people still argue if it is at all possible to choose the gender of your baby.

Of course it is possible!

Science has found ways to virtually guarantee you the conception of baby of a preferred gender… if you’re willing to endure some very invasive medical procedures - and you’re able to pay - that is!

In this article, however, we’re going to talk about completely natural, safe and simple ways to conceive a baby girl!

Although there is a myriad of old wives’ stories and anecdotes about how to conceive a baby girl, these 3 ways are standing above the rest!

1. Know when is the right time to conceive a baby girl.

What: Chances of conceiving a baby girl greatly increase when conception happens 3 – 4 days before ovulation.

Why? Sperm carrying girl-producing chromosome live longer than the boy-producing sperm – thus they will outlive the latter when the time to fertilize the egg comes.

How to do it: In order to conceive a baby girl, have intercourse a few days prior to ovulation.

What will you need: A way to track when your ovulation is due. If you’re not comfortable with methods such as charting basal temperature and the like, ask for ovulation predictor kit in your pharmacy.

2. Know how to conceive a baby girl.

What: Yes, we’re talking about that three letter word;) So, which is the best position to conceive a baby girl? Any position that will result in depositing the sperm as far away from cervix is optimal.

Why? Remember when we said that girl-producing sperm live longer than boy-producing sperm? Since “girl sperm” are more like marathon runners, and “boy sperm” are more like sprinters, there’s a greater chance that “girl sperm” will survive that long and hard journey and eventually meet the egg.

How to do it: If you want to conceive a baby girl, make love in a missionary position, or any other position where penetration is shallow.

What will you need: … oh, but seriously;) Are additional explanations really needed? I think you can answer this by yourself;) Or, like Nike says: Just do it!;)

3. Diet to conceive a baby girl.

What: What you eat while trying for a girl can significantly upper your odds of conceiving your little baby girl!

Why? Eating foods high in magnesium is said to help you conceive a baby girl. While this sounds like an old wives’ tale, it doesn’t hurt to try, does it? Furthermore, some foods will make your reproductive tract more acidic, which in itself makes a friendlier environment for sperm carrying girl-producing chromosomes.

How to do it: If you’re trying for a girl, your daily diet should include lots of green vegetables - which are rich in magnesium. To make your vagina more acidic, increase your intake of acid producing foods, such as meats and sweets.

What will you need: To test your acidity, you can use vaginal testing strips, available in most health stores. And, when shopping for groceries, don’t forget some whole grains, corn, and - a chocolate;)

How To Have A Baby Girl - Tips On Having A Female Baby

When families consist only of male children, many parents seek to discover how to have a baby girl. This does not in any way detract from the love they feel for their sons, but often come from a deep-rooted need to balance their families.

A few years ago, this was hardly an issue as larger families were commonplace. It was therefore rare for families to consist of children of only one sex. Indeed it was taken for granted that eventually there would be children of both sexes. Nowadays with the average family consisting of either two or three children, the odds of conceiving male and female children is much less and many parents are simply not prepared to leave something so important to chance.

If you would like to know how to have a baby girl, there are various tips which will help improve the odds. Knowing a few facts about the mechanics of conception means that you can harness this information and put it to use.

The gender of a baby is determined by the sperm. It is well known that female sperm are larger than male sperm and live for longer-up to 5 days in fact. In addition, they are also slower than male sperm. Using this information, it therefore follows that if you have intercourse a few days before ovulation, the male sperm are likely to have died off when the egg is released, leaving the longer surviving female sperm there to fertilize the egg. Timing is all though-if intercourse is too early, the female sperm will not have survived. Too close to ovulation and the chances of conceiving a boy are increased.

To increase you chances of having a baby girl, you should conceive between 2 and 4 days before ovulation takes place. It is therefore important to know your own cycle and be able to pinpoint when ovulation is likely to occur. If you are wanting to have a female baby, it is not enough to use ovulation predictors though as by the time it produces a "positive" result, your window of conception for a girl will have passed. However, ovulation predictors do have their place and it can often be useful to monitor your cycle for three months before attempting conception as knowing when you are likely to ovulate is key to conceiving a baby of your chosen gender.

To conceive a female baby, intercourse should be avoided altogether for two days prior to ovulation and on the day itself as a faster, male sperm is more likely to reach the egg first.

The position in which intercourse takes place is also thought to be important if you are wanting to know how to have a baby girl. This is because the entrance of the vagina is far more acidic than the area nearer to the cervix. This means that having shallower intercourse, where penetration is not too deep can favor the conception of a girl. Deeper penetration which is more likely to deposit sperm near to the neck of the womb (cervix) is more likely to result in the conception of a male.
A quick internet search will reveal many natural ways to conceive a girl. However, using these in isolation may not give the baby girl you would love to have. However, a systematic approach which combines all possible tried and tested ways will give you the best chance.

I always recommend Rebecca Washburn's book as its principles are scientific rather than anecdotal. In it, she outlines the exact $450 gender clinic douche recipe which you can put together yourself. She also will give you precise dietary information and the details of the only days you should be having intercourse on and which positions you should be using to maximize the conception of a girl.
