Every month a woman has a small window of approximately 5 days in which she’s able to get pregnant. From about three days prior to when she ovulates to the day after ovulation is the ideal time for her to conceive. While sperm can live for as much as 5 days in the reproductive tract, her egg only remains viable and capable of being fertilized for roughly 24 hours.
If a sperm carrying a Y-chromosome reaches and fertiizes the egg first then the resulting baby will be a boy. If a sperm carrying a X-chromosome fertiizes the egg then the resulting baby will be a girl. In addition to the chromosome they carry, the X-bearing and Y-bearing sperm are essentially quite different and these differences can be exploited to help naturally choose the gender of a baby.
The Y-bearing sperm are smaller and more agile than the larger, slower, but much tougher and longer lived X-bearing sperm. These are crucial differences and once you’re able to identify the time of ovulation they may be employed by those who specifically desire to conceive a boy or a girl.
To have a baby boy you should ideally have sex 12-24 hours before the time of ovulation. This can give the faster Y-bearing sperm the highest chance of being first to reach and fertilize the egg. If you want to have a little girl you should have sex 2-3 days prior to ovulation and then refrain until 1 or 2 days after. In the time from when the sperm are deposited until the egg is available for fertilization the more frail boy making sperm will die off at a faster rate leaving the more sturdy girl making sperm to be much more likely to fertilize the egg.
Though other considerations do make a contribution to baby gender, by using this technique, you can influence the gender of your baby-to-be by when you have sex.
When they decide to get pregnant many women are surprised to learn they can specifically choose to conceive a boy or girl. Visit my website www.conceiveaboyorgirl.com to learn more about how to conceive a boy or a girl.
