How to Naturally Select the Gender of Your Child
First off a woman needs to be in tune with her cycle. This is key in selecting the gender of your child. Your cycle will be what helps to determine the gender you will conceive. Once you know what your cycle is like you will then need to pinpoint as closely as you can as to when you ovulate during your cycle. Yep when does that little egg drop and become available for fertilization. So once you have all that down and you have tracked your cycle for a few months so that you know the pattern things will play out during your cycle, you are ready to try and conceive that baby.
Now for a look at the man's part in all of this. A man's sperm can live for up to 72 hours after ejaculation inside of the woman. So anytime during the 72 hour range you can become pregnant. This is also keep to how you are going to become pregnant with the gender you want.
Ok so we know what the key parts of each player in this is. Now how does all this help you to get the girl or boy you are wanting? Well quite easily actually. If you are wanting a boy you will want to sex about 68 to 70 hours before your egg becomes available for fertilization. If you are wanting to have a girl you are going to want to have sex about the time you ovulate.
The reason behind all of this is that the female sperm swim faster than the male sperm. So if you have sex close to ovulation than the female sperm will reach the egg before the male sperm does. This increases the chances of having a baby girl. To have a boy you have sex prior to ovulation because by this point most of the female sperm has died off leaving more of the male sperm. The male sperm swimming slower are now reach the just dropped egg.
The down side of this is that you have to time when you and your partner have sex. Sex is no longer going to be allowed to happen just when ever the mood strikes. Being controlled by a calendar, a cycle and the speed at which sperm swim is not for everyone. So both partners have to be willing to adhere to how nature works for them to be able to select the gender of their child.

Post a Commenthi my names stacey, im 25 years old and i have a beautiful 3 year old son, me and my now husband, fiancee at the time, had sex on the 13th day of my 28 day cycle, we were tryin for a boy, and i was told by having sex close to your ovulation date this would select a male gender, and i am proof that this is correct, i ovualted on the 14th and by having sex on the 13th a day prior to ovualtion i conceived a boy. also my sister has a girl and she and her husband were trying for ages to get pregnant, when she did they were trying for a girl, and she had sex 2 days prior to her ovulation so it could make the day in the difference to select the gender of your baby, so get your ovulatuion right.
Maybe the authored could add a footnote to the "errors" about the XY sperm respective swimming speeds in case some readers don't bother to read the comments?
im trying to find good info can someone who is sure clarify what is the truth???plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
James you are absolutly correct. Like I had posted previously, I had taken my research and when writing the article got turned around in what I was writing basically. I did not realize this until Carol had pointed it out and got me going back over my research material. Feel like a complete Dork for doing that.
The male sperm may swim faster, but when they get lost, they won't stop to ask for directions. ;)
Fascinating stuff.
This information is backwards. Male (XY chromosomes) sperm are lighter and swim faster, whereas female sperm (XX chromosomes) are heavier and have more staying power. A subtle but key difference. Basically take everything the article said and flip it to optimize the gender selection.
It is an understandable mistake. :) Good article.
You are absolutely correct. After reading your post I went back and started researching my information again. I hate that I did not catch my error in the fact that I wrote this backwards prior to it being published. When I wrote it the part that made for me writing it backwards is the fact that under a microscope the male sperms tails will move slower than the girl sperms tails but this is no indication of how fast they swim. Thank you for pointing out my error. I pride myself on my information being accurate and this time I see that I failed to provide accurate information.
This is in error- the Y (male) sperm swim faster but live a shorter time than the X (female) sperm. Sex very close to ovulation is likely to produce a boy while sex more distant from ovulation (relatively speaking) is more likely to produce a girl.
