How to Concieve A Girl


How to Concieve A Girl
How to concieve a girl ? The female genetic code carrying sperms called genosperms are larger and slower than their male counterpart,the androsperms; like the long distance runners.

The female genetic code carrying sperms or genosperms survive better in acidic environment, so to make sure that you have a girl child use vinegar while having sexual intercourse.

Because the sex chromosome that determines whether your child will be a girl or a boy is carried in the sperm, when you have sex, there will be boy sperm and girl sperm racing to meet your egg.

The following gender selection methods are based on the differences between the sperm that carry Y chromosomes (which are necessary for a boy) and the sperm that carry the X chromosome (which are necessary for a girl). For example research shows that girl sperm can swim slower than boy sperm, so if you are looking to conceive a girl, you need to create a girl-sperm friendly environment

In test tube baby fertilization or in vivo fertilization, to increase the chance of the baby formed being a girl, the glucose content is to be reduced in the nutrient medium else more glucose concentration will reduce the chance of a baby girl being born.

While potassium and iron increase the chances of a baby boy being formed, magnesium and calcium increase the chances of a baby girl; studies have shown. Mineral content in the mother’s blood also plays a role to make the child a girl or a boy.

The timing of the day or month plays certain role in helping your conceive the baby gender of your dream. The perfect time to do so is 3-4 days before the ovulation begins, as you do not want to miss any chances of conception at all by having intercourse way too early or end up conceiving a boy by having the intercourse a little too late.

  • MicroSort–Often called Flow Cytometry, MicroSort is also a sperm sorting procedure that uses a fluorescent dye to bind with the DNA material that is carried by the sperm. X- Sperm containing more DNA than Y-Sperm, absorb more dye. The sperm is then sorted and the procedures are complete by intrauterine insemination and/or in vitro fertilization.Priced at about $4000.00 a cycle.

The gender of an unborn baby is of particular interest to historically within the Chinese culture.

When Can You Find Out The Gender of Your Baby


When Can You Find Out The Gender of Your Baby
Of course one of the most common questions we always receive is about When Can You Find Out The Gender of Your Baby ?. While many expectant parents do not want to know the gender of their baby until it is born, many more are very anxious to know

One important note about trying to determine the gender of your baby using an ultrasound, is that your baby may in fact be turned the wrong way, and the technician may not be able to determine what the sex is. Keep in mind that aside from genetic testing, none of these methods above is entirely fool-proof, which is why many expectant parents decide to just wait until the baby is born to learn the gender.

There are many different tests that can be performed in order to discern the gender of a baby. These tests are performed at different stages of the pregnancy and depend on different variables.

Chorionic villus sampling (CVS) is a test that is performed to find chromosomal abnormalities, but can also tell the sex of a baby. This may be performed between 10 and 12 weeks.

An amniocentesis checks for abnormalities in the fetus, using a long needle that gathers amniotic fluid, and may be performed around 16 weeks.

A level three ultrasound is only performed when it seems complications may be present in the fetus, but can also show gender as early as 12 to 14 weeks. A level one ultrasound is performed on most pregnant women between 18 and 20 weeks. This is the most common time to find out the gender of a baby. The heart rate of a fetus can be heard as early as eight to 10 weeks. It is believed that a higher heart rate indicates a boy, but this method is not accurate and should not be taken as truth.

The gender of a baby may be known out as early as 10 weeks but may not be discovered until the regularly scheduled ultrasound and even then, the position of the baby will determine whether the genitals can be seen or not.
