Gender Selection Pregnancy Is Possible

By Kathy Forcey

Virtually any adult and many children know exactly how a baby is made but when it comes to a gender selection pregnancy, it is necessary to know a little more about how this process works. The ovaries of a woman only contain one kind of egg, the "x" egg, but the male sperm has both "x" and "y' sperm. The x-sperm makes a girl and the y-sperm a boy.

The very basics of gender selection dictate that there are certain influences that will determine the sex of your baby. This means there are factors that favor the x-sperm and factors that favor the y-sperm. These factors are quite a few and they can include the sex position, timing of ovulation, vaginal Ph value and probably even the diet, although diet is considered to play a very minimal role.

It has been shown that the ovulation cycle is a very valuable consideration in determining the likelihood in favor of one gender over the other. There is reliable evidence to show that fertilization during specific times when an egg is ready to be released will influence the baby's sex.

There is a great deal of information available on what techniques can be used to influence the gender of your child. Try not to get too clinical, especially if it is your first child, it generally takes about 3 - 6 months to get pregnant, but if it has been longer than 12 months, it is best to consult with an OB/Gyn. He can also more than likely provide you with some good strategies for you become pregnant and even gender selection pregnancy ideas.

Couples today want to have a balanced family, and generally speaking do not want to have more than two children. Making sure you are able to give your children the very best does usually mean you have to make the best use of your income and resources. With, gender selection pregnancy this balance can be achieved more easily.

Because selecting the gender of your children is such a hot topic, scientific methods are being developed to achieve this and myths and legends abound. If your mother tells you tells you to bury a piece of bacon under a rock in the garden at full moon before sexual relations, and make a wish for the sex of your baby. It is not very likely that this will determine the sex of your child.

Clinical methods that are 100% accurate have been and are still being developed that can assist with the gender selection of your child. For example PGD (preimplantation genetic diagnosis) and PGH (preimplantation genetic haplotyping), however these methods are both expensive and invasive and generally reserved where medically indicated. Some countries do not permit gender selection using these methods.
