Trying To Have A Baby Girl - Timing Intercourse To Tip The Balance
If you are trying to have a baby girl, there are a number of things you can do which will sway the odds in your favor. One very important piece of knowledge to have is the fact that the timing of intercourse can be crucial to help you have a daughter.
Knowing when to have intercourse is one thing, but before you even get to this point you must know when you are ovulating. Ovulation usually occurs 14 days before the first day of the menstrual period. If your cycle is very regular, then determining ovulation day will not be difficult. However, if your cycle is irregular or you are in any doubt, then it is worth investing in an ovulation prediction kit as these are extremely accurate.
Once you have determined the day on which ovulation occurs (and bear in mind it could be necessary to monitor your cycle over three months) then if you are trying to have a baby girl, then you should have intercourse on both of the two days before ovulation. The reason for this is directly related to the individual characteristics of male and female sperm.
Female sperm is larger and slower than its male counterparts. However, it is more robust and can live for a longer period of time. Whilst the faster male sperm can usually only live for around 24 hours, female sperm can live for up to 72. Therefore, if it was a simple "race to the egg", then it is likely that the male sperm would win. However, by having intercourse before ovulation, the more robust female sperm will be there, ready and waiting to fertilize the egg on release whereas the male sperm will have perished.
Of course, the timing of intercourse is just one tip you can put into practice when trying to have a baby girl. However, to give yourself the best possible chance of success, it is necessary to use a multifaceted approach which ensures that you use various techniques in combination to fully maximize the odds.
