However, like we said, there are millions of people who bear testimony to the fact that there are ways in which one can conceive a boy with a good degree of accuracy. One such tip is to conceive on the day of ovulation. Studies show that the sperm cells which are responsible to conceive a boy are short lived and their average life span is just a day or so. There are greater chances of having a boy if the conceiving happens immediately on the day of ovulation so that the sperm cells don’t go waste.

Another method that has worked for thousands of people is that of deep penetration. It is said that the sperm cells hitting the base of the cervix have more chances of conceiving a boy. There is no right position for this, but in whichever position the couple is comfortable, ejaculating close to or right on the cervix will have more chances to conceive a boy.

These are the most popular of the methods which people promote and use when they wish to conceive a baby boy. However, there are no guarantees that these will work for everyone, as there are too many factors which this is dependant on. Read up some more on the topic and you will have a fair idea of what works and what doesn’t.

Gender selection in pregnancy is not something your doctor can help you with. But that does not mean there is no way in which you can increase the chances of conceiving a boy or a girl. There are some time tested things which have been proven to increase the chances manifold and you can find them online quite easily. However, the problem (like with most things online) is that there is no assurance whether it’ll work or not. So it makes sense to use a process which has a good set of testimonials attached to it.

Gender selection in pregnancy is usually determined by the number (and quality) of the X and Y chromosomes, and the time at which the actual conception happens. It is said that the sperm cells which help make a boy have a very short life span and it would make sense to plan the conception on the day of the actual ovulation so that the sperm cells don’t get wasted. Then there is the diet factor. It has been proven time and again that pH value plays one of the most important roles in the gender selection process and that is dependant on the diet taken.

So it is a ‘process’ and not something that can be achieved overnight – but yes; it is quite possible to increase the chances of conceiving a baby of a particular gender.
