If you're swaying for blue, here are some tips from the Shettles Method that may help you conceive a baby boy.
1. Know shettles method and leverage it
The method is dependent on the fact that the sperm is of two types, the Y sperms responsible for having a boy and X sperms responsible for having a girl, both have different characteristics, which you can use to give a given head start over the other.
Sperms Carrying Y Chromosomes
• Are faster, agile and smaller than the sperms carrying X chromosomes.
• They do not have thicker protection and hence die quicker than the ones carrying X chromosomes.
Hence to conceive a boy, you will have to have the intercourse, on the day of ovulation which will give the sperms carrying Y chromosomes a head start.
2. Track your ovulation
When an egg is released from the ovary ovulation is said to have taken place. Tracking the ovulation is so much important because the whole idea of Shettles method depends on it.
3. Choose the intercourse position carefully
It’s time to say bye to missionary style and welcome the rear entry position.
The idea is to deposit the sperm as close as possible to the entry of cervix so that the Y sperms have to cover a less distance and gets a head start.
4. Have an alkali-rich diet
Having an alkali-rich diet favors the sperms carrying Y chromosomes. And hence, maintaining a high ph in your body helps the Y sperms to stay alive much longer and swim faster.
There are several foods like banana red meat etc, which contains a lot of sodium and potassium, it helps to keep the Ph level high, which is required for having a baby boy.
5. Have an orgasm
Orgasm tends to push and speed up the movement of sperms.
6. Keep your partner away from heat
The Y sperms do not perform well and tend to die in the heat. So it would be better, if your better half can wear boxers, during the conception period. It’s also recommended to avoid hot bath for the same reason.
