Trying to choose the sex of your baby, girl or boy, is a very old practice. Old customs were centered around the woman, because it was not understood that the determination of the sex of a baby really lay with the man. Though as wisdom grew, the practices changed to include men in the process of deciding, but the methods were still really out there, like tying up one testicles, believing that boys had one side, girls the other; sleeping with certain objects under the bed to influence the sex of the baby; or even medicines and poultices of odd combination including animal feces. The desire to choose the sex was that strong.
The basics to have a baby girl are as follows:
- First you must know your menstrual cycle and chart it using your basal body temperature (BBT) charts.
- Once you have done this for a few months you can more accurately pinpoint ovulation.
- You will begin to have unprotected intercourse after your period ends.
- You should have sex once a day.
- Stop having marital relations about three days before you expect ovulation.
- For added optimism for a girl, you will want to choose sexual positions that place the sperm close to the entrance to the vagina, making the sperm have to swim further. An example would be the missionary position. (Note: If you’re having trouble conceiving at all, this is not recommended.)
- Women should avoid orgasm during sex during conception attempts, this is to prevent the vaginal environment from being more alkaline, which supposedly is not favorable to baby girls.
