Gender of the Child

Attempts at predicting and selecting the sex of a child and theories of planned birth have existed since time immemorial. No matter how hard mothers tried to follow the advice of healers, the result remained, as a rule, unpredictable. True, recently a lot of facts have already accumulated, the generalization of which has allowed scientists to trace the dependence of the formation of the sex of the unborn child on heredity, the environment in which the child was conceived, the age of the parents, the characteristics of the environment, and the nutrition of the spouses.

The sperm is responsible for the sex of the unborn child. Half of the sperm carries the X chromosome, the other half carries the Y chromosome, and the egg always contains the X chromosome. Thus, the fusion of sex cells results in either a girl (XX) or a boy (XY).

If someone desperately needs a boy (or girl), pay attention to methods that increase the likelihood of conceiving a creature of the gender you are interested in. We offer several recipes for a planned birth.

To conceive a boy, take a vacation and go to the sea with your husband. Forget about problems and think only about this. If you still want a girl, then a man should immerse himself in work and sports, and a woman should not provoke her husband into intimate relationships.

French researchers propose a method based on the difference in size and speed of X- and Y-sperm. By choosing the time of conception relative to ovulation, you can increase the chances of the desired gender.

Gender is also affected by the technique of sexual intercourse and the acidity of the environment in the vagina.

Scientists have established the dependence of gender on the mother's nutrition during the menstrual cycle. For a girl, it is recommended to eat dairy products and limit potatoes, for a boy - vice versa.

Gender may depend on the month of conception and the age of the mother. At the end of the reproductive period, boys are more often born.

In the case of hereditary diseases linked to sex, IVF is used - in vitro fertilization followed by selection of an embryo of the desired sex.

Thus, there are various techniques to increase the chances of conceiving a child of the desired gender that couples dreaming of a boy or girl should try.
