Are you hoping to get pregnant with a boy? Try these top 10 tips to help you get pregnant with a boy. Maybe they are old wives' tales, or maybe they're true.
So, you want to get pregnant with a boy? Well, a few years ago you would just have to do your thing and hope for the best! But, not anymore! These days, methods from the tried and true, to the downright wacky are everywhere! Whether you want a boy or a girl, there are steps you can take to better your chances. Of course, none of the methods listed below are proven effective, and some are just wives’ tales, but what have you got to lose??
Without further ado, here is our list of methods for getting pregnant with a boy:
Know When You Are Ovulating
Sounds obvious, but when you are trying to conceive, you want to make
absolutely sure. Ovulation predictor kits are now widely available at
drug and grocery stores everywhere, or you can do a quick web search for
a ton of tips on how to tell when you are ovulating. Check our When do You Ovulate article for more information.
Have Sex As Close To Ovulation As Possible
Fun Fact? Male sperm are the faster swimmers, but they also die super
fast. Female sperm can hang around for a while and take their time
getting to the egg. By having sex as close to ovulation as possible, you
will give your little guys (ha!) a head start!
Say Good Bye To Missionary Sex
So it’s time to say good-bye to the missionary position – at least
for now! Try a position that will allow deeper penetration, such as
“standing sex,” you on top, or on all fours. The basics of this? Deeper
penetration will “deposit” those little sperm guys closer to the uterus,
giving them far less distance to travel and a better chance of
“winning!”
Eat Like A Man
No, really. For some reason, boy sperm prefer alkaline environments,
which means environments that are less acidic. So, to increase
alkalinity, experts recommend eating more red meat, salty foods and
soda. So, go ahead and have a big meal, girl! It’s all for the sake of
baby!
Have An Orgasm!
Orgasm is another one of the things that helps produce a more
alkaline environment that is conducive to producing boys! This is highly
prescribed by the Shettles Method of gender selection as well.
Use The Chinese Lunar Calender!
Tons of people swear by this gender-predicting method, and it has
been around for hundreds of years. It uses the mother’s age and the
month in which she conceives to determine the baby’s gender. You can use
the calender to determine which month you should try to conceive in to
get the baby gender that you are hoping for. Some lunar calender experts
say this method is up to 99% accurate! Why not give it a try?
Make Your Man Wear Boxers
Boy sperm hate heat, so wearing boxers may help your man to keep
things cool and breezy for the boys down there. Hey, whatever it takes!
And remind your man no hot tubs and no hot baths either!
Cough Syrup?
Is this a wives tale, or not? Some women swear by taking a dose of cough medicine
before sex. Why in the world? Well, experts say that cough medicines
that contain the ingredient guaifenesin can help to thin mucus membranes
in the cervix, helping those little swimmers to get through. Many women
actively take cough medicine as an over-the-counter remedy to help with
their cervical mucus to get them pregnant faster, and now perhaps it
may work better to conceive the baby boy you’ve been longing for.
Check the Moon
This one is definitely an old wives’ tale, but the legend is, having
sex on the night of a quarter moon guarantees a boy! So take our your
calendars, check the lunar phases and look for a quarter moon.
Make Your Man Drink Coffee
Some people swear that you can increase your chances of getting
pregnant with a boy by having your man down a cup of coffee before sex.
Maybe the caffeine gets those little guys swimming faster? There you have it ladies, our top ten tricks to getting pregnant with a boy. Will they work? Who knows, but they will sure be fun to try!
