Question -
My age is 15th july,1977 i have no children i will concieve for the first time my last date was 11 dec,2005 and 12th nov,2005. I want to concieve a boy pls help.
Answer -
If you have a normal 28 day cycle (from the first day of your period until the first day of your next period, ovulation occurs on cycle day #14. You can only conceive if you have unprotected sex on cycle day #13, 14, 15, or 16, each month. The male determines the sex of he offspring. If a man's fertilizing sperm carries an X chromosome, the child will be a girl. If it carries a Y chromosome, the child will be a boy.There are two types of sperm. Small, round headed sperm carry the Y chromosome, and the larger oval shaped type carry the X chromosome. It was found that  when secretions in the vagina were more acidic than alkaline, the "female" sperms seemed to pevail. But when the secretions were more alkaline, the "male" sperm were clearly the winners. Alkaline secretions are kind to both types orf sperm.Usually, the environment within the vagina is acidic, while the environment wihtin the cervix and uterus is generally alkaline. The closer a woman gets to ovulation, the more alkaline her cervical secretions become. Therefore timing of intercourse is a critical factor iin choosing the sex of children. Intercourse at or very close to the time of ovulation, when the secretions are most alkaline, would very likely result in male offspring. Intercourse two or three days before ovulation, on the other hand, when an acid environment wtill prevail w0uld be more likely to yield female offspring. Therefore the following should be tried to help increase the chances of a boy:
    1- Intercourse should be timed as close to the moment of ovulation as possible.
    2- Intercourse should be immediately preceded on each occasion, by a baking soda douche, consisting of 2tbs of baking soda in a quart of water. This allows the soda to becme completely dissolved.
    3- Famle orgasm is not necssary but is desirable. If a woman normally has orgasm, her husband should time his to coincide with hers or let her experience orgasm first.
    4- Vaginal penetration from the rear is the recommended position. This helps insure deposition of sperm at the entrance of the womb. This is desirable because the secretions within the cervix and womb will be highly alkaline.
     5- Deep penetration at the moment of male orgasm will help insure deposition of sperm close to the cervix.
     6- Prior abstinence is necessary. Intercourse should be avoided completely from the beginning of the monthly cycle until the day of ovulation. This helps insure maximum sperm count, a factor favoring Male sperm.
       
         Good Luck


Answer
In order to create an alkaline environment in the vagina, which is more advantageous for "male" sperm to survive, you, the woman, should douche just prior to intercourse. This "douche" is made by taking a hot water bottle and filling it wich 2 tablespoons of baking soda in 1 quart of water. Then insert the hose into your vagina and allow it to quickly run out (hold the hot water bottle up). Then immediately have relations.  There are several ovulation predictor kits on the market. I don't know which ones your pharmacy carries. All of them are fine. They measure the LH (luteinizing hormone) surge which occurs within 12 hours before ovlation. It turns blue when the presence of LH is noted and then you know that you will ovulate withiin 12-24 hours.
