The baby’s gender is determined by the father. The women carry the X-chromosome in eggs. Men, on the other hand, have X (girl-producing) and Y (boy-producing), so, each of the sperm carries one of the two chromosomes. When the Y- producing sperm penetrate the egg, the boy will be conceived. And if ‘XX’ is formed, the baby will be a girl. Here we offer some other ways that can increase the chances of getting a baby boy. Some research results claim these ways may raise the chances of conceiving a boy. However, there is no medical evidence shows that any of them is effective.
* Choose the Right Season to ConceiveIt is said that temperature could decide the baby's gender. A baby boy is easy to be created in the high - temperature environment and a girl in the low temperature. This is because the high temperature will affect the X-bearing chromosome and make Y-bearing chromosome more active. On the other hand, the low temperature is more favorable for the X-bearing chromosome and easy to make genetic make-up XX. So, if you conceive during the summer time, you would have more chances to get a boy. In winter, you are more likely to have a girl. Although there is no enough scientific evidence to show it's authentic, it can be a reference.
* Choose the Right Date to ConceiveThrough the 700-year-old Chinese baby gender chart, you could find out which dates having more odds to get a boy for you. As it’s based on the mother’s Chinese lunar age and lunar conception month, it’s difficult to calculate for many people. So, we have made this Baby gender selection tool for you to check out the dates very easily. Just select your birthday in Gregorian calendar, the year you plan to get pregnant and baby boy, the calendar will show you the suggested conceiving time for boy in Gregorian calendar. Although, this calendar is proved to have a high accuracy, it’s not right to everyone.
* Keep the Sperm Count HighA high sperm count would increase the chance to get a boy. So, when you plan to have a baby, you should avoid sex for 3-7 days before ovulation. This can ensure the father's sperm count high on your ovulation day.
* Time to Intercourse and the PositionYou are suggested to have sex as close to your ovulation. You can use Ovulation Date Calculator to find out your ovulation date if your menstrual period is regular. Also, you can buy ovulation detection kits to test. For baby boy, you’d better have sex no more than 24 hours before ovulation and no more than 12 hours after that.
* Conceive during your Golden AgeIt's said that the older the parents, the more chances to get a girl. The best time for the female to get a baby boy is between 23 and 30. And for the male, the best time is between 30 and 35. If you are plan to get a baby after 30 (for female), and 35 (for male), you would have more chances to get a girl. So, you'd better to give birth to a baby at your golden age to raise the chance of getting a boy.
