How to Conceive a Boy: Learn How To Dramatically Improve Your Chances

If you're curious as to how to conceive a baby boy, keep in mind some basic pointers but remember that no matter what you do or what you try, you really cannot determine the gender of your baby with total certainty. Most people don't mind this and are equally happy to have a baby of either gender, but they may still like to influence the gender for one reason or another.

You'll be pleased to know that there is some positive news in that there are things that you can do to bolster your chances when trying for a boy. But before you run out and buy blue paint for your nursery and stock up on blue blankets and clothes, go through these tips but when you find out you are pregnant, visit your doctor as well to confirm the gender.

When considering how to conceive a boy keep in mind that the sperm containing Y chromosomes for boys move faster than those with the X chromosomes for girls but don't last as long. This means that you need to conceive quickly after ovulation so that the slower moving ‘girl’ sperm are overtaken by the faster ‘boy’ sperm. Another thing to note also is that conception can still happen up to three days after intercourse. Although you cannot guarantee that you will conceive at the best of times it is generally thought that adopting a position during intercourse that allows for deep penetration will mean that the sperm will be closer to the cervix and so will be able to reach its target faster thereby giving you an increased chance of conceiving a boy.

If you are going to want to conceive as close to ovulation as you can you will be required to know exactly when you are ovulating. Determining whether or not you are ovulating can be done in various ways. You can chart body temperature or invest in an ovulation predictor kit and a menstrual cycle calendar. Following this advice, while not giving you a cast iron guarantee, will at least give you more favorable odds, so why not give it a go?
