I often hear from people who are worried about their chances to conceive a daughter. Sometimes, they might be trying to conceive a girl when they already have a home full of boys. Or, perhaps they have very strong feelings that they want a girl rather than a boy this time around. Whatever the reason, most people realize that they really only get one chance at this, so they want to make sure that they are doing everything that they need to do to ensure that they have the best odds that are possible. The following article will focus on the things that you can do to raise the chances or the odds that you'll have a girl baby rather than a boy.

If You Want To Conceive A Girl Rather Than A Boy, You Have To Eliminate (Or Discourage) The Y Sperm:At the end of the day, your main goal has to be to set it up so that when conception actually occurs, it's an X or girl producing sperm that fertilizes your egg. Keep in mind that, in the beginning of this process, a man's sperm has both X and Y represented in equal amounts. And, the Y's are the fastest. So, you need to eliminate or weaken as many of them as is possible to make way for the X's. Luckily, the Y's are vulnerable to a few things which I will discuss below.

To Have The Best Chance Of Conceiving A Girl This Time Around, You Should Have Sex Early (And Before Ovulation:)First things first. Before I get into specifics. I want for you to understand the advantages that the X or girl producing sperm chromosomes enjoy. They live for a longer period of time. And, they can survive in both an acidic and an alkaline environment. You can't say the same for the Y or boy producing sperm so these are advantages that you are going to want to exploit. One way to do this is to have sex early in your fertility cycle. (But, you don't want to begin too early as even the longer lived X's don't live forever.) Generally speaking, you want to aim for 3 days before ovulation and you'd like to stop trying on the day before.

Now, the biggest challenge when you are trying to conceive a girl is having to predict ovulation days before it's supposed to happen. Most ovulation predicting methods only tell you when you have ovulated. This outdated information won't do you any good because your optimal time frame would have already passed. However, using saliva rather than urine ovulation predictors do a good job of helping you to get around this as they are more sensitive and will give you a positive earlier than the more traditional models.

To Raise Your Odds For A Girl Conception, You Want To Create A Highly Acidic Vaginal Environment:Remember when I mentioned that X or girl producing sperm had no problem thriving in both an acidic and alkaline environment? Some people will take this to mean that they don't need to worry about their vaginal PH. Nothing could be further from the truth. It's true that the girl sperm would do fine either way. But, the boy sperm wouldn't. And you need to capitalize on every advantage you have in order to raise your odds of success to be as high as they can be.

And that's why you want to set up so the Y's struggle and that more and more of them are eliminated before they can get to the egg. Thrusting them in acidity is just one more way that you can do this. Some women will chose to become more acidic with their diet and others will try douching. And some folks who want nearly immediate gratification will combine the two. Whatever method you chose, it's important that you don't guess. Consider getting PH testing strips and testing regularly to make sure that your reading gets to and remains where it needs to be. If it isn't, consider holding off for a month until you get the number that you want.

The Fun Stuff: The Positions That You Use When You Become Pregnant Can Increase Your Chances For Getting A Girl Instead Of A Boy:Sure, it's fun to ponder which sexual positions you're going to use. This is the easiest of all of the variables. Since the X sperm can afford to take their sweet time to the egg (and this only benefits them because more Y's will die off during this slower process) you can't go wrong with shallow positions that give those wimpier Y's even more odds to overcome.

I've put together a few websites that take a lot of the guess work out of getting a girl rather than a boy (or vice versa.) You'll find step by step instructions, resources for determining ovulation times, douche recipes and food PH lists, information on when to conceive, and tips plus support.
