Conceiving A Boy (What I Learned You Absolutely Need)

Girls run in my family (I am one of four girls) and my husband is only one boy out of three girls. So, we knew that we had a tendency to produce girls. When we were trying to conceive our child, my husband admitted he desperately wanted a boy. He started looking at the hockey practices longingly when we took little girls to figure skating practice. One day I asked my husband how serious he was about wanting a boy. He went to the cupboard and pulled out a pair of teeny black ice skates that he had purchased. That was it. I knew how much I cherished sharing things with little girls and I also knew they were not going to play hockey, so I got on a quest to get my husband a boy.

I started by calling clinics which ranged from no guarantee sperm sorting to 100% guarantee fertilization costing about $20,000. We could not afford the 100% method and I saw no reason to pay thousands of dollars for the "no guarantee" method, so I researched everything I could get my hands on. Here's what I learned. To conceive a boy, you need three things (this is only my opinion. I am not a medical expert, but this is what I have learned from research):

1. You need to conceive as close to ovulation as possible (preferably the day of) Boy sperm is the weaker of the two. It will die off if it has to wait for the egg. This is probably the hardest part. For this reason I highly recommend saliva predictor kits. I learned this the hard way, when I just couldn't pinpoint it accurately enough. Saliva is the most accurate method (which is why it is used for DNA) These are very inexpensive (and can be used over and over)

2. You need a low vaginal PH to get a boy. A highly acid vaginal PH will kill off the boy sperm. I tested my PH using PH strips. It was sky high (probably why I was producing girls.) I found two books that told me the range I needed to be in and how to get there. One required me to douche with special recipes based on my PH (the same recipes gender clinics charge $400 for) and another showed my how to change my PH to the "boy zone" via eating and avoiding certain foods.

One of my favorites was Ashley Spencer's "How To Chose The Sex Of Your Baby." Spencer is endorsed by OB/GYNs and according to her bio she used to give sold out seminars ($250) on her methods. But, she got busy with her own family and so she put all of the information in an ebook instead (which is much more inexpensive for everyone. This is probably the best selling gender selection system on the market. You can visit Ashley Spencer's website by clicking here. (affiliate disclosure)

The second book I used was Rebecca Washburn's "How To Pick Your Baby's Gender". This book gives douche recipes that clinics charge an arm and a leg for. It's a 75 page ebook that is just full of information. She also explained why some families are more prone to girls and helped me to address and overcome these issues.

3. You need to conceive in a position that places sperm as close to the cervix as possible: This will be different for each couple, but the boy sperm are not strong enough to travel far, so you need to make it easier for them. Both books go into great detail on this.

It took me six months (I charted myself for a few months first), but I did get my baby boy, a blond haired blue eyed cutie. He's still too small for the ice skates, but just give him time. Good luck! You can do this. Despite what the clinics will tell you, I personally believe that you don't need them. Save your money! You will need it to raise your son!
