There are plenty of people around who feel that you don't have the ability to be able to influence what sex your baby will be. But for those couples who would like to have a beautiful baby girl they will try anything to do so. In this article we take a look at some ways for couples who want answers to the question "Are you trying to conceive a girl?"
The first suggestion we offer is that couples should change their diet and to eat certain foods which will increase the possibilities of them having a baby girl rather than a boy. Through making the right changes to their diet a couple is altering the levels of pH in their bodies and which can contribute towards what sex of baby they have.
With this particular method couples will need to eat foods that contain lots of acid in them, like lemons, grapefruit's, oranges and so forth. It is believed that high levels of acid in a woman's body will actually kill of the sperm containing the Y chromosomes which means then the sperm containing the X chromosomes has an increased chance of reaching and then fertilizing the egg.
But with this particular method not only does the amount of acidity in the food need to be increased by also the amount of calcium and magnesium in it as well. However, they do need to reduce the amount of foods which contain salt and potassium if they want their chances of conceiving a girl to be increased.
There are some couples in order to help increase their chances of conceiving a girl rather than a boy have used the Shettles Method to help. This requires them to have intercourse during certain periods of a woman's monthly cycle. For a woman to conceive a girl they should make love with their partner 2 to 4 days before they begin to ovulate and a number of days after ovulation has ceased.
Dr Shettles suggests these time periods because by the time the woman ovulates then the sperm containing the Y chromosomes will have died off and this then leaves the X chromosomes to fertilize the egg. So at no stage if a couple are trying to conceive a girl should they actually make love when the woman is ovulating, because if they do this then increases the chances of the sperm containing the Y chromosomes to reach the egg first.
Along with determining when is the best time for a couple to have intercourse in order to increase their chances of having a girl, Dr Shettle has said that a woman's orgasm can in fact play a part on whether a couple have a boy or a girl. It is thought that when a woman orgasms her body produces more alkaline and this actually is beneficial to the X chromosomes so the possibility of the child being a boy rather than a girl is greatly increased.
Above we offer some ways to help those who have been asked the question "Are you trying to conceive a girl?" By reading what has been written a couple may be able to use these and so improve their chances of having that beautiful baby girl they always dreamed of.
