If you would like to know how to increase the odds of getting pregnant with a boy baby, there is much you can do to tip the balance in your favor.
Although it is never possible to be 100% foolproof, by using a number of techniques in combination, you can shift the odds from 50-50 to a considerably higher figure.
Male and female sperm both have different characteristics.
The male sperm carries the Y chromosome and is naturally smaller and faster than the female sperm.
However, it is less robust and does not live for as long.
If the male sperm do not reach the egg quickly, they will die off, leaving the longer lasting female sperm to fertilise the egg.
Therefore, to increase the odds of getting pregnant with a boy baby, it is important to have intercourse as close to ovulation as possible so that the journey to the egg becomes a "race", and one which the male sperm is likely to win! However, this is not the only factor to consider.
The fragile male sperm is not that suited to the acidic vaginal environment.
Therefore, altering this to a more alkaline pH level is preferred.
One way to do this is to eat foods which encourage alkalinity, including red meats, bananas, peaches, sweet corn and sausages.
The position you have intercourse in can also increase the odds of getting pregnant with a boy baby.
If you lessen the distance the male sperm has to travel, then this, coupled with the fact that it is faster can result in it reaching the egg first.
It also minimises the length of time in the acidic vagina.
Therefore, choose deeper positions, such as "doggy style" or the woman on top we the required head start.
