The gender selection of your future baby is based on which type of sperm succeed to fertilize the egg. While male sperm (y) and female sperm (x) have somewhat different characteristics, this can be utilized when trying to conceive specifically either a boy or a girl baby.
Normally, there is about 50% chance to get pregnant with the gender a couple wants. However, with proper information and planning this probability can be increased. While there are couples who want to have either a boy or a girl, this information can be very important for them.
Some parents want to keep their child from inheriting a condition that is linked to a specific gender. Getting pregnant can be hard enough - getting the correct gender can be absolutely heartbreaking.
One problem in gender selection is that people get their hopes up when they're getting pregnant for a specific gender. While there may be ways of improving the odds of conceiving a girl or conceiving a boy, there's no way to make it a hundred percent sure and even if they succeed, they may become disappointed.
Those who fail might find trouble connecting with the child and those that do get what they want may find that it is nothing like they thought it would be. Ethically, it is of severe concern as it could directly influence the welfare of the baby and person in question.
The Shettles method is what most people know when it comes to getting pregnant and having a boy or a girl. It involves timing with the woman's cycle and having sex in certain positions.
Boy sperm is faster than girl sperm. However, it is also weaker. This information can be utilized when determining time of the month when trying to conceive. This also determines the best positions to get pregnant either with a boy or with a girl.
When trying to conceive a boy, you should have an intercourse as close to woman's ovulation as possible, preferably during the ovulation. While boy sperm is weaker than girl sperm the best positions are those with deep penetration. In this way distance to cervix is shorter which gives boy sperm better changes to survive and fertilize the egg.
When trying to get pregnant with a girl the position used should allow as shallow penetration as possible. For example, the missionary positions is one of those positions. When it comes to woman's menstrual cycle, you should stop having sex two or three days before ovulation. Because of weaker nature of boy sperm they don't survive in woman's system as long as girl sperm do.
It has been suggested that success rate in the Shettles method is at least 75 percent. Some people say that it can be even over 90 percent. Either the first or second number is true, it is still much better than 50/50.
