How To Conceive A Girl

By: SamanthaAdams Home | Home-and-Family


When planning to have children, it is very common to have a preference. Some couples may feel a little guilty that they are trying to conceive a particular gender, but it is normal to want to have one over the other. Unfortunately, aside from artificial insemination, there really is no way to ensure you will give birth to the gender you want, but there are a few tips that do not hurt to try.

If you are trying to conceive a girl, there are many methods that some women will swear by. Many of these methods are based on timing when you conceive or changing your diet. Whatever changes in your lifestyle you make, you may want to make sure what you are doing will not negatively effect your pregnancy.

When learning how to conceive a girl, timing is probably one of the most important things. There are many urban legends that suggest the couple have intercourse in the afternoon, but many of these legends are not as effective as timing. The sperm that determines a girl actually lives longer than that which determines a boy and so, you should time intercourse a few days before ovulation, but still close enough so the sperm will survive. Timing it in this way will prevent the male sperm from surviving and there is a greater chance of conceiving a girl.

For parents trying to learn how to conceive a girl, it is important to pay attention to the days the woman is ovulating. There is actually less of a chance of conceiving a girl than a boy, so perfect timing can make all the difference. A supposedly accurate method is using a Chinese conception chart to match up the mother's age with the month of conception. It is important to use the lunar month and age to determine the optimal time to conceive a girl. The Chinese conception chart is available online to allow for accurate predictions however my research shows that this method is not as successful as has been claimed.

Many people believe that the way to conceive a girl is to make changes in your diet. It is said that a more acidic diet will help you give birth to a girl. There is a theory that creating an acidic environment in the body by eating foods such as grapefruits, oranges and lemons, will kill the male sperm. It is also believed that diets that are high in calcium and low in salt will help to conceive a girl.

Although you may not be able to ensure the gender of your child, having a baby is always a miracle and a gift. Remember that the tips are not 100% accurate and do not in any way guarantee you will conceive a girl. There are many urban legends that do not rely on any scientific principle and so, these may not be the best tips to follow to conceive a girl. The most accurate tips on how to conceive a girl are based on timing and the woman as an individual.
