However, there are plenty of couples who have tried various things in the hope that the baby they have is a beautiful little girl. In this article we provide some answers to question that may be asked of couples "Are you trying to conceive a girl?"



The first suggestion we offer is that couples should change their diet and to eat certain foods which will increase the possibilities of them having a baby girl rather than a boy. Through making the right changes to their diet a couple is altering the levels of pH in their bodies and which can contribute towards what sex of baby they have.

With this particular method couples will need to eat foods that contain lots of acid in them, like lemons, grapefruit's, oranges and so forth. It is believed that high levels of acid in a woman's body will actually kill of the sperm containing the Y chromosomes which means then the sperm containing the X chromosomes has an increased chance of reaching and then fertilizing the egg.

With this method as well as eating foods high in acidity it is crucial that they contain high levels of magnesium and calcium as well. Plus for a couple to be able to increase their chances of conceiving a girl rather than a boy they need to avoid foods high in potassium and salt.

There are some couples in order to help increase their chances of conceiving a girl rather than a boy have used the Shettles Method to help. This requires them to have intercourse during certain periods of a woman's monthly cycle. For a woman to conceive a girl they should make love with their partner 2 to 4 days before they begin to ovulate and a number of days after ovulation has ceased.

Dr Shettles surmises that time the woman has begun to ovulate all the sperm containing the Y chromosomes will have died off so this means that only sperm containing the X chromosomes will then fertilize the egg. It is crucial however that couples who are attempting to conceive a girl rather than a boy should avoid having intercourse when ovulation takes places. The simple reason being this gives an opportunity to the sperm containing the Y chromosomes to reach the egg to fertilizer it first.

As well as Dr Shettles determining just when is the best time for a couple to make love so that they increase the possibility of having a baby girl he says that a woman must not orgasm as this can play a major factor in the sex of the baby. As a woman's body produces alkaline when she orgasms this can actually help to ensure that the sperm with the Y chromosomes is able to reach the egg and so the chances of them conceiving a boy are greatly increased.
