Conceiving a girl vs. conceiving a boy?
by admin on Thursday, May 27th, 2010 | 5 Comments
I just checked my probable ovulation dates using this calendar: http://www.freeovulationcalendar.net/ You put in the info, and it gives you a probable ovulation date. But it also says there’s a higher probability of conceiving a girl at the beginning of ovulation, and a boy toward the end of ovulation. Has anyone ever heard of that? That gender depends on when you conceive? Does this sound odd?

Actually I have heard of this, and it is a little more in depth then that. It is true that timing has some increased chances of one sex or the other but there is never a guarantee that you will get what you are trying for.
Girls are difficult because you have to predict when you will ovulate and you have to try to have intercourse as far before ovulation with out ruining your chances altogether. So you would try 5 days before one month. If it does not work then 4 days before the next month, but never any closer then 2 days before (that is even close) and no unprotected sex the rest of the cycle.
Male sperm swim fast but die off quickly so If the egg has been released the odds of having a boy are high.
Female sperm swim slow but live longer so they will hang around and wait for the egg. (amazing even in sperm form, we have more patience lol).
If you want a boy have intercourse on the day you ovulate.
Also for a girl tighter undies for the guy. For a boy loose. Too tight and the sperm count can be too low.
So I hope that this helps. I was not aware that they were actually putting that on temp. charts.
Good. Luck.
It is true. Boy sperms are quicker than girls but girls are strong and can stay alive longer. So if you want to try for a boy then it is best to have sex on your ovulation day so they race up to the egg. But if you want to try for a girl then you have sex a day or two before ovulation so the girls are there waiting for the egg to pop.
Yes, I was told to try for a girl, you are to TTC before you ovualte b/c the female sperm are slower & tend to linger longer. The male sperm are fast & usually right were they need to go. So, to try for a boy, usually right when you are ovulating.
You might want to research the Shettles Method (link below). My husband and I are trying it this month. We had sex a couple days before ovulation as we have a boy and are hoping for a girl this time around. My period is 2 days late today. So I don’t know if it works but we are giving it a shot! Girl sperm are slower & stronger. Boy sperm are fast. I learned that in nursing school, so the theory makes sense.
If you google "ovulation calculator" you will get many sites that can help you figure out your ovulating date. If you are just coming off the pill ovulation may be different though. Other factors can change your ovulation date as well. An ovulation kit is probably the best idea and charting, basal temps, checking your fluid, etc.
Yes, it’s true. It’s because the xx chromosome is slower, but lives longer then the xy chromosome. =) Your information is correct!
