Best Tips for Conceiving a Boy

Are you trying to find a way to conceive a boy?  Those that already have boys might question your sanity when you state your preference for a son but they would only be kidding as they surely count them as gifts from God.  Maybe you already have a boy in the home and want a younger brother for him, or you have girls and want to have the experience of raising a child each gender.  So what are some methods for conceiving a boy and do any of them actually work?

There is no method that will leave you absolutely certain that you will have a boy.  The sex of a baby cannot be promised even by scientists.   But there are some things that perhaps give those "boy sperm" a better chance at fertilizing the egg than their female counterparts.

When thinking about the methods for conceiving a boy remember that the "male sperm" don't have as much longevity as the "female sperm."There are ways to make your vaginal area more friendly for their survival.  Check your pH with a kit from your local pharmacy and make sure you have a more alkaline reading.  {Avoid acidic foods such as citrus fruits as too much acid is believed to kill sperm prematurely.}  These methods for conceiving a boy require you to keep record of your menstrual cycle as your ph readings and levels depend on it.  It's also believed that better methods for conceiving a boy mean having intercourse closer to when you're ovulating since this sperm won't last as long and so needs a better chance at reach an unfertilized egg as quickly as possible.  Knowing when you're ovulating is vital, so make sure you are checking your body with an ovulation kit, as well as keeping track of your menstrual cycle.

Remember that this will only increase your odds of having a boy slightly and what nature and god gives you is what you get and should be happy with.  {Conception is something that just cannot be controlled by the parents no matter what they try.}
