Gender Selection Diet – What Should You Eat?
So is it true? Can you now select the sex of your next baby by watching what foods you do and don’t eat?
According to many Mothers in today’s world, and Fathers too, it is possible! The gender selection diet will have you altering what you eat to increase your chances of conceiving either a girl or a boy.
For hundreds of years women have been trying everything possible to influence the gender of their yet to be conceived children. In today’s society where our governments tell us what is and isn’t ethical, and make rules that it’s citizens have to abide by, then taking certain matters into our own hands was bound to happen sooner or later.
Natural gender selection and all of the differing methods that surround it are quickly surfacing to replace the illegal (in certain countries) medically assisted methods. Gender selection by medical intervention in some countries is now only allowed for certain purposes. To prevent varying genetic and hereditary illness and disease from being passed down the line of more generations.
What the gender selection diet does exactly no-one is sure. Some believe that it makes the woman’s body acceptable to either the male or female sperm. How it does this is yet again another question that can’t be properly answered. Some believe that the gender selection diet can alter the acidity of the mucus inside the vagina, high acidity is said to favour a boy, low acidity, a girl. Douching used to be a technique that some women used, although experts tend to steer women away from this method now as it has been linked to causing infection.
Whatever it does do, doesn’t seem to matter as couples all over the world are raving at it’s success rate. While it can be no where near 100% successful ( only one method can claim to be 99-100% successful and that method is medically assisted!) It seems to be tipping the balance for natural gender selection. As long as it takes you above the 50% chance of success that you have already, then I guess it’s worth a try!
It does seem easy to follow, eat more of a certain food type to tip the balance in the gender stakes. The only problem seems to be… What if you don’t like what you’re told to eat?

Gender Selection Ovulation Method
Gender Selection Ovulation Method. You can choose the gender of your baby by knowing the time of ovulation. Time of ovulation can easily be calculated by an ovulation calculator. There are many free ovulation calculators online. Before using them, you would need to know the date of you last period and how long your cycle usually last. Ovulation calculators are only suitable for women with regular menstrual cycles. Once you know the days of ovulation, you can easily select the gender of your baby by following the tips below:
For a Baby Boy,
Time intercourse as close to ovulation as possible: The idea is that since the Y-chromosome sperm are faster than the X-chromosome sperm, there will be more Y-chromosome sperm who reach the egg, making it more likely that a Y-chromosome carrying sperm will fertilize the egg.
Abstain from intercourse for four to five days prior to ovulation. Have intercourse only just at the time of ovulation and just before.
Have intercourse that allows for deep penetration. Doggy-Style is recommended. The idea is that the sperm will be deposited closer to the cervix where cervical fluid is most friendly to the Y-chromosome sperm and where the “boy sperm” are more likely to survive since there is less distance to travel.
Men avoid tight clothes: heat kills off both types of sperm, but will kill off the less protected, smaller Y-chromosome sperm faster, according to Shettles.
Women have an orgasm: Female orgasm increases the alkaline secretions in the vagina that are favorable to the Y-chromosome carrying sperm. Having an orgasm before or at the same time as the male partner is a must.
For a Baby Girl,
Have intercourse 2-3 days before ovulation and avoid intercourse just before ovulation until 2 days after ovulation and when you have peak cervical fluid: The idea is that when you have sex a few days before ovulation, only the X-chromosome “girl sperm” will be left in the female reproductive tract waiting to fertilize the egg when it is released.
Have intercourse with shallow penetration: Missionary or any position that will deposit the sperm slightly away from the cervix, giving advantage to the longer living, but slower X-chromosome-carrying sperm.
Women avoid orgasm: Women avoid orgasm because it makes the vaginal environment more alkaline, and less acidic and is disadvantageous to the X-chromosome “girl sperm”.
Gender Selection Methods
There are basically 4 gender selection methods. The methods varies in price and effectiveness. Below is a brief summary of the 4 gender selection methods.
The Gradient Method
This is where the sperms in transferred in a centrifuge and spun at high speeds. The spinning action will then seperate X-Chromosome (girl) bearing sperm from Y-Chromosome (boy) bearing sperm. The separation is possible because X-Chromosome bearing sperm is denser compared to Y-Chromosome bearing sperm. The separated sperms can then be used for gender selection.
Microsort
This is a process by which the type of sperm is identified on a special dye. X-Chromosome bearing sperm and Y-Chromosome bearing sperm can be easily differentiated by this procedure because X-Chromosome bearing sperm absorbs more dye. Differentiated sperms can then be use for gender selection.
PDG (Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis)
This is a complicating procedure in which the DNA of the embryos are analyzed in order to determine their sex and health. With the gender determined during the analysis process, couples can easily select the chosen embryo containing their desired sex.
The Shettles Method
The shettles method is a natural way of gender selection. Unlike the above 3 gender selection methods, the shettles method can be done at home without the help of doctors and specialists. According to
Shettles, it is said that….
To have a baby boy,
• Do not have sex 4-5 days before ovulation
• Have sex on the day of ovulation
• Douche before intercourse
• Woman must have multiple orgasms before sperm is ejaculated
• Ideal sex position is Doggy Style
To have a baby girl,
• Have intercourse a few days before ovulation
• Woman is recommended not to have orgasm
• Ideal sex position is Missionary Style
Basics of Gender Selection And What You Should Know
There is no need for expensive clinical gender selection when it comes to choosing the gender of the baby you desired. There are a few things you can do at home to greatly influence the odds of you having either a baby boy or a baby girl. In this article, you will come across some very good gender selection
tips that will help you choose your baby’s gender.
What determines the gender of your baby?
If X-chromosome bearing sperm reaches the fertile egg first, you will have a baby girl.
If Y-chromosome bearing sperm reaches the fertile egg first, you will have a baby boy.
What are characteristics of X-chromosome sperm and Y-chromosome sperm?
X-chromosome are bigger and stronger but slower.
Y-chromosome are faster but smaller and weaker. Y-chromosome bearing sperms are also sensitive to heat and acidity.
Couples can determine which type of sperm will reach the fertile egg first by knowing the time of ovulation. Time of ovulation is a period when the egg in the woman is most fertile. Find out the day of ovulation can be as easy as using an online ovulation calculator.
For a baby boy, intercourse should be done on the day of ovulation.
For a baby girl, intercourse should be done a few days before ovulation.
You can easily assist Y-chromosome (boy) bearing sperm to reach the fertile egg first by performing the correct sexual position. Any deep penetration sex position will help Y-chromosome sperms by reducing the distance it needs to swim. Let’s not forget that the sperm is exposed to acidic environment. To balance the acidity level in the reproductive tract, douching is encourage before intercourse.
For X-chromosome (girl) bearing to reach the fertile egg first, the ideal positions would be shallow penetrations. This will favor X-chromosome bearing sperm because sperms will have to swim a longer distances and only X-chromosome bearing sperms have the stamina to do so.
