Conceiving a Boy: What You Need to Know

If you're looking for tips on conceiving a boy you may be wondering if it's really possible to control or predict the gender of your child.  Myths, stories, and "old wives tales" about how to predict or control your child's gender have been around for centuries, including anything from using the mother's birthday and zodiac sign to noting the times of the month when the baby is conceived.  {Obviously many if not all of these types of stories and theories have no scientific merit whatsoever and many of these centuries-old tips and techniques give you nothing more than a 50/50 chance of conceiving either gender.}  But with advancements in science and medicine there are some tips on conceiving a boy you might want to consider as they are based on more scientific reasoning and principle.

Popular belief is that sperm contatining the X chromosone which produces females move slower yet live longer than their Y conterparts which yield males.  If you want faster sperm in order to better reach that egg, you need to consider your sexual technique.   Most believe that deeper penetration during intercourse will cause the sperm to rest closer to an available egg, which means that the sperm with the Y chromosome will be that much more likely to "win the race."  {Sexual tips on conceiving a boy might be a bit personal and make you uncomfortable but keep in mind that conception is a difficult and tricky process but one that starts with intercourse.}  There are those who believe that if you keep your legs in the air, or up against a wall after intercourse the sperm will reach the egg more quickly. This will also mean that those sperm that contain the Y chromosome will have a greater chance of making the course before it dies.  Don't feel ashamed because of these tips on conceiving a boy; any steps you can take to increase the chances can only help, not vice versa.
