How can one influence (increase the odds) the sex of a child at conception.?

Question

What steps, methods and/or techniques can be used to affect and/or ensure with greater accuracy the sex of a child at conception?

Answer 1

Nothing.

The man's sperm is the physical determining factor.
Other than that, pray a lot, I guess.

Answer 2

Positions And Timing According To The Shuttle (?) Method

Basically Because The Male Sperm Is Faster But Weaker He Suggest Sex On The Day Of Ovulation And Deep Penetration, However If Wanting A Girl He Suggests Having Sex A Day Or Two Before Ovulating And Missionary Position Because Female Sperm Are Slower But Stronger So They Can Outlast The Male Sperm.

Answer 3

I browsed through a book that told of different ways to increase the sex probability of your child. I found the book in Barnes & Nobles. However that was about 5 years ago before I had my daughter. Do a search on their site and see if if comes up with any results.

Answer 4

Search the Internet or get a book on the Shelttes (sp) Method. Shettles(sp). Anyway this will give you answers on how to have intercourse and when to heighten your chances of conceiving a certain sex. Although nothing is 100% it is at least worth a try.

Answer 5

Get the book called 'Shettles Method". It worked for us. We wanted a boy and followed the books instructions exactly, and guess what! We got a boy!!! It works about 80% of the time according to Dr. Shettles.

Answer 6

there are methods but it doesn't guarantee anything.
Like if your man wears boxers while have intercourse, it could influence a girl or a boy? Or if your man is cold or what have you it could influence a girl or a boy?
Or if you want a girl, you should start making babies in April?

You should be happy whether or not you conceive a boy or a girl, regardless.

Answer 7

supposedly if you have intercourse 3 days before you ovulate, there is a greater chance of having a girl. Girl sperm are better swimmers, more stamina, but boy sperm swim faster but don't live as long. If that makes sense.

Answer 8

There are no techniques that make more than a trivial change of the odds in one direction or another. Just enjoy whichever you get.

Answer 9

supposedly if you have intercourse 2 days or so before you ovulate - the chances increase of a girl

if its on ovulation day or slightly after - a boy is presumed

also eat meat for a boy and dairy for a girl

All old wives tales

Answer 10

I do believe that is the male that determines the sex of the baby
