Pregnancy is a wonderful experience, from the day of conception until the day of your baby’s birth you will find yourself looking at the world with different eyes. Some couples opt for the surprise to only find out what the baby’s gender is at birth while others prefer preconception gender selection. The choice is all up to you of course- as long as you make it a beautiful and lasting memory.
As with all life on earth, science and genetics play a vital role and it’s not different with the determination of your child’s gender. First things first- the man determines the gender of the child due to the fact that the sperm either has a Y or X chromosome which combine with the female’s X chromosome egg. Females only have X chromosomes so there is no other option for the female while the man has the natural roulette option of either a Y or X chromosome.
Old wives tales on gender selection have been around since the beginning of time, making the myths as old as the pregnancy event itself. The myths vary from making love in doggy style or standing position to having the female reach climax before male should you have a little boy in mind or having sex in missionary style during late afternoons to having the male reach climax before the female should you have a little girl in mind.
The pH level in your vagina and preconception gender selection are direct linked. The higher the acidity in your vagina the greater the chance of having a girl, the more alkaline or even neutral your vaginal pH the better the chances of conceiving a boy.
Natural treatments and methods are always highly recommended and should be couples’ first choice. Some natural method examples are charting and calculation of precise ovulation times or alterations to usual positions during sex. Dietary changes impacting alkalinity levels in the vagina should also be considered.
The Ericsson method is classified as an unconventional preconception gender selection method, consisting of X and Y chromosome sperm separation in a control laboratory environment. Although quite costly to undertake, this method has a higher success rate than other conventional methods.
Its imperative to seek medical advice before deciding on or starting a preconception gender selection treatment method due to the fact that some treatments or methods are dangerous with serious side effects. Your doctor will know what method or treatment will suit your health status or overall lifestyle best.
