hi, we have 4 girls and want a baby boy, anyone any (sensible) suggestions?

Answer 1

I have 3 girls,,, and always wanted a boy (hubby is very happy with 3 girls),, but you have to know when enough is enough...

Answer 2

This is purely scientific and can even be validated if you look at Jewish laws about the time when a man and woman might come together again after her period of "uncleanliness."

It has been noted that under certain circumstances, that the endometrium is subject to very specific variations and that these variations indicate when conception of a baby boy is most likely. As conception is possible just 3 days before ovulation and up to 24 hours after it has begun, the key is pinpointing when a woman has begun ovulation and then pinpointing when the “ferning” period begins before that time.

You can increase your odds of conceiving a baby boy by knowing exactly when it is that the ferning process will begin and having intercourse at the precise time that conception of a baby boy is most likely. Basically, sperm that creates a boy swims faster than that which creates a girl. Therefore, in order to have a boy, intercourse should take place a day before ovulation begins. This is because sperm that creates a girl can last longer but is slower.

If you really want to raise your chances of conceiving a baby boy rather than a girl, then you need to know well ahead of time when ovulation will occur.

Get 3-4 ovulation test kits before your next period. During the next three or four months, chart your ovulation cycle. You sould see the pattern within 3-4 months. On the fifth month, during ovulation and during the peek of prime fertizaltion, have intercourse with your husband. The male sperm swims fast and dies quickly, the female sperm are slow swimmers, but live longer. You could slow the sperm down by apply cold compresses to your husbands genital areas just before sex.

However, you may end up with another girl. The man's sperm is what determines the baby's gender in the end.

Answer 3

There are lots of old wives' tales about how to conceive a boy or a girl, but there are a couple of things that will give you a better chance at a boy.

Basically, men produce two types of sperms, the X (female) and Y (male). The y-sperms are smaller, weaker, but faster than their siblings x-sperms, which are bigger, stronger, but slower.

Based on this fact, there are several things you can do to "favor" the conception of boys or girls:

(1) The most important aspect of all is timing of intercourse during the monthly cycle. The closer to ovulation you have sex, the better the chances to have a boy, because the y-sperms are faster and tend to get to the egg first. If you have sex 3 days or more before ovulation, the better your chances to conceive a girl, because the weaker y-sperms tend to die sooner and the x-sperms will be available in greater quantity whenever the egg is released. On the other hand, having sex from 2 days before ovulation, through a few days after ovulation, is better for conceiving a boy. Around the 2-day point -- 48 hours before ovulation -- seems to be the 50/50 mark.
(2) The pH of the women's tract is also very important. A more acidic environment favors girls, since it will kill the weaker y-sperms first, leaving a greater quantity of x-sperms available to fertilize the egg. On the other hand, a more alkaline environment favors boys. Recommended is a douche of water and vinegar (acid) immediately before intercourse to favor a girl; a douche of water and baking soda (alkaline) will help for a boy.

(Don't try this without reading up on it! You have to dilute the douches properly, according to his formula, or they won't help and might hurt you. Myself, I don't think it's a great idea at all.)

Note: Some women are naturally very acidic and have a hard time conceiving boys.

(3) Position of intercourse and depth of penetration are important, partly because of pH. The closer to the entrance to the vagina, the more acidic the women's tract is. Also, deep penetration places the sperm closer to the egg, and gives those aggressive boy sperms a head start :-). So, a shallow penetration will favor girls and a deeper will favor boys. Shettles recommends missionary-position for a girl, and rear-entry (dog-style) for a boy.

(4) Women's orgasms can also be important. It also has to do with pH. When a woman has an orgasm, the body releases some kind of substance that makes the environment more alkaline, favoring boys. He recommends no orgasms when trying for girls!

(5) The sperm count is another factor. Obviously, a low sperm count to begin with doesn't favor either sex. But a high sperm count favors boys. Shettles (the author of a book on the subject) recommends three things:

# (a) When trying for a boy, don't have sex for 3- 4 days before you reach the target date a day or two before ovulation! For girls, have sex everyday from day=1 or day=5 ("cleaner" :-)), and stop 3 days before ovulation.
# (b) Shettles recommends that for boys, the man wear loose underwear only -- that is, men who usually wear briefs or other tight underwear should switch to boxers. The idea is the same as wearing boxers to increase overall fertility -- the testicles need cooler temperatures for sperms to survive, and the Y-sperms, since they are weaker, will be helped more than the X-sperms by this method. However, Shettles does NOT recommend the opposite, that men wear briefs for a girl -- this will just decrease overall fertility.
# (c) Also, for a girl, the man is supposed to take a hot bath immediately before intercourse. "Room temperature" is fine for a boy. The idea is the same as the briefs versus boxers -- give the X- sperms an advantage.

(6) Finally, in trying for a boy, Shettles recommends a nice cup of caffeinated coffee for the man, right before sex -- he isn't clear on how or why this works, but apparently it gives the Y-sperms a jolt!

Well, these are the big ones. Read the book for other details.

RE:

Answer 5

I have had 3 girls, from a previous marriage.I re married and my husband now has had 4 girls previous.We had our child together 8 years ago, and we couldnt believe it was a boy. What a suprise. I didnt do anything different, but i craved for fresh garlic even before i knew i was pregnant. It wouldnt do any harm to try, Good Luck.

Answer 6

Male sperm are fast but only live for less than 24 hours. Female sperm are slow but can live up to 5 days. If there is any female sperm present in your body when the egg is released then they will get to it first. You must refrain from sex for at least 7 days before ovulation (ovulation tests may be neccesary to ensure the exact time) and then have sex only after ovulation has occured. Those super fast male sperms should get there first, and there you go, a boy. Best wishes

Answer 7

Now everyone can cure infertility using this natural remedy http://pregnancyhelps.info
infertility can run in the family and one of the first things the doctor asks you when you go to a fertility clinic is your family history regarding cases of infertility or other reproductive issues.
If infertility is caused by genetic disorder then it's not unusual that one of the kids (your mom) doesn't have it and another does (your aunt).
two months of trying is still to early to be concerned about the fact that you might be infertile and it's also quite early to go to a fertility specialist. Go to a regular Obgyb to get a closer insight and see what ways there are are to improve your fertility rate.
Also remove alcohol, caffeine and cigarettes from your life because they might influence your chances too. Stress is also a risk factor when it comes to infertility.

Answer 8

Apart from IVF (and that only in another country were it is legal) there is no other way. All babies are a gift so what does it matter about the sex? think of all the people who cannot have children and then you will see that your girls are THE BEST!!! (ps I have two boys and would not change them for all the girls in the world)

Answer 9

How about adopting? That way when you ask for a boy you know you will be able to adopt one. Besides they are many children that are alone in the world that needs a home, it would be a good thing to do and at the same time you are providing a family for someone who really needs it.

Answer 10

I dont think there is really anywya of making a boy, as much as poeple like to think different positions and stuff it doesnt work. My firend had 2 boys and so desperatly wanted a girl. her and her partner bought books and read up and did everything that supposedly would help yu conceive a girl...alas she got pregnant and 9 months later agve birth to non identical twin boys!

as long as they are ok, surely it doesnt matter :) you have something alot of people dont have, be greatful.xxx

Answer 11

You can have your husband's sperm tested and find out the boys. They then implant some of your eggs with only male sperm.

My husband and I went through the same thing, as we have four (beautiful) boys. We have have twin daughters, aged 6 months.

Your best bet is to speak to your Doctor or family planning centre. They should be able to help.
