Although it can’t be guaranteed that you will be able to select the gender of your baby, there are several techniques that you can put into action that will increase your chances of having a baby boy. If you want to know how to conceive a baby boy then these techniques will certainly improve the odds in your favour. Although they are not 100% effective they do have success rating of well over 90% which is still pretty good in my opinion.

The timing of sexual intercourse can have an impact on the gender of your child. To more thoroughly understand this it is important to look at two things. Firstly, it is necessary to know how ovulation works and secondly, how the differences in sperm are likely to affect this timing.

Starting with ovulation, you should know that each month there is a specific window of fertility that lasts for around about five days. The best times to conceive are during this window (Approximately 3 days before and one day following ovulation)
Although an egg is only viable for about 24 hours sperm can survive for up to 5 days in the uterus. This is the standard accepted “window of fertility” that occurs each month but it should be noted that every woman is different and therefore this can vary.

Now that you know the 5 days of the month that are optimum for fertility, it’s necessary to work out the best time for intercourse in order choose the gender of your baby. To explain this further it is necessary to understand the different characteristics of the sperm that will decide gender.

Y chromosome carrying sperm that fertilize the egg will result in becoming pregnant with a boy while X chromosome carrying sperm will help you to become pregnant with a girl. Y chromosome sperm are smaller than their X carrying equivalents, which make them faster and far more agile. Unfortunately they don’t live as long as X chromosome sperm.

In order to have a boy the timing of intercourse is vital in order to give the Y chromosome sperm the best chances of reaching the egg first. To achieve this you should ideally try to time intercourse as close to ovulation as possible. This is because Y sperm don’t live much longer than the 24 hour period in which the egg is viable.

Although timing is important there are several other factors that can decide whether you have a baby boy or girl. These include diet, and even the sexual position that you adopt. If you ensure the correct timing as well as putting all of the other tips into action then you will have the best techniques currently known to science of how to get pregnant with a boy.
