What is My Probability of Conceiving a Boy Or a Girl Child? How Can I Improve These Odds? By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Sandy_Dean]Sandy Dean I sometimes get emails which ask me what are the chances or odds of conceiving a boy or a girl baby. The answer to this is that they are almost equal. (Technically the odds are 51% for having a boy and 49% for having a girl, but this is close enough.) People also sometimes assume that if girls or boys are running in their family, then the father must be only giving off the sperm that creates whatever gender is running in the family. For instance, I recently heard from a woman who had three daughters. She desperately wanted to conceive a boy, but she was assuming that her husband must only be contributing X or girl sperm. She even assumed that each of her husband's testicles produced one sperm chromosome and that the testicle that produced boys must have been damaged or turned off somehow. This is not at all likely to be the case. Research indicates that each time you conceive, you have the same roughly even odds of the outcome. Men produce roughly equal Xs and Ys from both testicles and there is no way to turn this off and on to influence this. However, the woman or mother can make changes. And these can sometimes change the odds. I will discuss this more in the following article. How Gender Probability Works And Why It's Mostly Even: Before I get into how you can change the odds, I want to briefly go over how gender is determined. As I said, the father contributes both X and Y equally. If this same man has produced only girls in the past or only boys, people will often assume that this is because he is only able to produce one gender. Research tells us that this isn't true and that his production is pretty much equal and the same each time. Many people don't believe me when I say that you have to same 51 / 49 odds for your third pregnancy as you do with your first. You are dealing with the same X and Y chromosomes from the man and the same X that the woman contributes. And every time it's an X that fertilizes the egg, you will get a girl. Every time a Y makes it, you will get a boy. This is true whether it's your first pregnancy or your fifth. Only 12 percent of families are made up of three boys, but this doesn't mean that the father in these families only produces Y sperm. It could mean that this was the luck of the draw. It could also mean that the mom in this situation ran toward the alkaline or that the couple made a habit of conceiving after ovulation. They might also prefer deep penetration when they have intercourse. The Things That You Can Do To Increase The Probability Of Having The Gender That You Want: Many couples will assume that since they can't see what the man is contributing, they just have to hope that they get lucky with his contribution and roll the dice. This isn't entirely the case. No, you can't really control the father's contribution. And the mother is always going to give an X. But what you can control is the environment in the reproductive system that is going to favor one over the other. See, the Y sperm don't live for long and sometimes don't survive long enough to fertilize the egg. If you want a girl, you need to take advantage of this. And, the X sperm are pretty slow moving. If they have a vulnerability, it's their lack of speed. If you want a boy, you should take advantage of this. How can you do these things? Well, you set it up to create the best set or circumstances for either X or Y, depending on which you want. If you want a girl, you try to weed out the Y's by having intercourse early and before ovulation. You also try to make yourself acidic through diet and douching and you use shallow intercourse positions. If you want a boy, you want to strongly discourage the X's. You do this by treating the Y's with kid gloves. You wait until after ovulation. You make yourself alkaline and you use deeper penetration when you have intercourse to conceive. I've put together a few websites that take a lot of the guess work out of choosing your baby's gender when getting pregnant. You'll find step by step instructions, resources for determining ovulation times, douche recipes and food PH lists, information on when to conceive, tips, support, and examples of ovulation predictors / PH testing strips.
