How to Conceive a Boy: Don't Leave it to Fate!

If you're curious as to how to conceive a baby boy, keep in mind some basic pointers but remember that no matter what you do or what you try, you really cannot determine the gender of your baby with total certainty. Most people don't mind this and are equally happy to have ababy of either gender, but they may still like to influence the gender for one reason or another.

The good news is that are steps you can take which can significantly increase your chances of conceiving a baby boy. Before you rush out though and buy lots of blue clothes and blue paint for the baby's room, it would be advisable to wait, when you do become pregnant, for the gender to be confirmed by a doctor through an ultrasound scan.

When considering how to conceive a boy keep in mind that the sperm containing Y chromosomes for boys move faster than those with the X chromosomes for girls but don't last as long. This really means that you need to conceive as close to ovulation as possible so that faster 'boy' sperm can overtake the slower 'girl' sperm. Remember that conception can happen for up to three days after intercourse. Although you cannot guarantee that you will conceive at the best of times it is generally thought that adopting a position during intercourse that allows for deep penetration will mean that the sperm willbe closer to the cervix and so will be able to reach its target faster thereby giving you an increased chance of conseiving a boy.

In order to conceive as close to ovulation as possible means that you will need to understand your own ovulation schedule. There are several ways of finding out whether or not you are ovulating. You can chart body temperature or invest in an ovulation predictor kit and a menstrual cycle calendar. These tips alone are not guarantees to being able to conceive a boy but they of course won't hurt the process either, so why not give them a try?
