Do Gender Selection Techniques Really Work?

I’m sure that since the beginning of time women have been swapping stories about how to increase their chances of conceiving either a baby girl or baby boy. Unfortunately for them, most medical professionals will tell them that they are wasting their time, because they believe that these natural Gender Selection Techniques have no scientific basis. There are many people who have tried some of the techniques however who will tell you that got some remarkable results from the techniques they used.

Statistics tell us that the majority of women would prefer to have a girl baby – at least for a first child anyhow, so we’ll concentrate on some of the anecdotal advice about Ways To Conceive A Baby Girl. The advice about having girls is in far more plentiful supply as well, so we should have lots to look at.

The anecdotal evidence says you’re more likely to conceive a girl if…..

1. You have make love regularly when you are trying to get pregnant so that you lower your husband’s sperm count. This is said to reduce the number of male sperm, which will increase the chance of a female sperm fertilizing the egg.

2. You make love a few days before ovulation and then abstain from intercourse. You do this because male sperm are notoriously ‘lazy’ and most will die off early in the ‘race’ leaving mainly female sperm left to reach the egg.

3. You eat a diet high in dairy produce such as cheese, yoghurt and milk. Your diet should also contain unsalted foods, lots of mineral water, and general foods that are high in carbohydrates. Foods you should avoid include alcohol, fresh fruit, spinach and chocolate.

Many of the suggested actions come from folklore and doctors will tell that is no scientific evidence to suggest they will have any effect. That might be the case, but I get emails all the time from people who say they followed one or more of these activities and they claim they have worked for them – and I guess at the end of the day that’s what’s important.
