Selecting the gender of your baby may seem out of the question, especially if you are not engaging in genetic manipulation. However, here are few secret techniques which show you how to have a baby girl.

The sperm that are responsible for having a girl carry the X gene. These sperm are slower than their Y counterparts and need a few different techniques if you want to ensure that they reach the egg successfully.

Selecting the Right Time

In order to provide the X sperm the opportunity to reach the egg, you need to calculate intercourse so that by the time you ovulate, the Y sperm have already died off. This means that it is ideal to have intercourse two to three days prior to you ovulate. Sperm can stay viable within the body for up to five days and X sperm are the longest lived. By the time the egg drops from your ovary, the only ones left will most likely be the sperm that carry the X gene.

Having the Right Foods

In order to have the right PH balance in your body to ensure that the X sperm can arrive at the egg successfully, you need to provide them an environment that is acidic. Recommended foods include broccoli, fish and apples. Having the foods which are high in calcium and magnesium.

Picking the Right Position

In order to provide the X sperm the edge they need to outlast the faster Y sperm, sexual positions that offer shallow penetration are ideal. Positions such as missionary are wonderful for this. Once again, you are stacking the deck so that the longer lived X sperm can outlast the Y sperm before they reach their destination.

Other Factors to Consider

It is recommended that a woman not orgasm first when trying for a girl. This is because once woman orgasm, the PH inside the vagina switch due to secretions. Before an orgasm, the environment inside the vagina and around the cervix is acidic, which is great for sperm carrying the X gene. Once woman do orgasm, the secretions switch the PH to more alkalai.
