When you Have Sex May Establish The Sex Of Your Baby

Every month a woman has a quite small window of roughly five days in which she’s able to get pregnant. From 3 days prior to when she ovulates to the day following ovulation is the ideal time for her to conceive. While sperm can live for as much as 5 days in the reproductive tract, her egg only remains viable and able to be fertilized for roughly 24 hours.

If a sperm carrying a Y-chromosome reaches and fertiizes the egg first then the resulting baby will be a boy. If a sperm carrying a X-chromosome fertiizes the egg then the ensuing baby will be a little girl. In addition to the chromosome they carry, the X-bearing and Y-bearing sperm are essentially quite different and these differences can be utilized to help naturally select the gender of a baby.

The Y-bearing sperm are smaller and more agile than the bigger, slower, but much tougher and longer lived X-bearing sperm. These are vital differences and once you are able to determine the time of ovulation can be used by those that specifically desire to conceive a boy or a girl.

To have a baby boy you must ideally have sex 12-24 hours before the time of ovulation. This can give the faster Y-bearing sperm the best chance of being first to reach and fertilize the egg. If you want to have a little girl you should have sex 2-3 days before ovulation and then refrain until one or two days afterwards. During the time from when the sperm are deposited till the egg is available for fertilization the more frail boy producing sperm will die off at a quicker rate leaving the more durable girl producing sperm to be rather more likely to fertilize the egg.

Though other considerations do contribute to baby gender, by utilizing this technique, you can influence the gender of your baby-to-be by when you have sex.

When they decide to get pregnant many women are surprised to learn they can specifically choose to conceive a boy or girl. Visit my website www.conceiveaboyorgirl.com to learn more about how to conceive a boy or a girl.
