Gender Selection Conception - How to Choose the Gender of Your Baby Naturally

Posted: 20 Nov 2009 06:29 PM PST

A gender selection conception is a special type of conception in which the potential would-be parents deliberately use family planning techniques to influence whether their as-yet-to-be-conceived embryo will be that of a baby boy or that of a baby girl.

Yes, you read correctly: Family planning is not limited to planning on whether or not you want to have a baby, but also about what gender of baby you want to conceive!

If you're reading this, then most probably I'm willing to bet that neither your parents, nor your sex education class, nor your school friends on the playground never mentioned anything about gender selection conception when you were first learning about "the birds and the bees".

All you were ever told is how babies are made. But nobody ever taught you how to make a boy baby or how to make a girl baby.

But that is what gender selection conception is all about: Choosing the gender of your baby using a combination of various family planning techniques, which we are going to outline for you hereunder:

1. If you want to conceive a boy, you and your partner must have sexual intercourse in positions that allow for deep thrusting. If you want to conceive a girl, you must use shallow thrusting techniques instead.

Why? The deeper the penis penetrates into the vagina, the closer the sperm will be to the egg at the moment of ejaculation, so the dominant male sperm will have a shorter distance to travel to make it to the egg.

On the other hand, if ejaculation occurs using shallow thrusting strokes, and the sperm makes landfall on the walls of the vagina near the opening, then the sperm will have much further to travel, and the odds will be stacked against the male sperm for surviving the harrowing journey to the egg. The female sperm are more likely to win out in this case.

2. If you want to conceive a boy, then the woman must have a vaginal orgasm during intercourse, preferably at the same time as the man has his ejaculatory orgasm. The chemical properties of the vaginal secretions released during feminine orgasm favor the male sperm and can actually hurt the chances for a female sperm to make it to the egg.

So for all you men out there who wish to conceive a boy with your partner, you better cure your premature ejaculation problems, if you are going to be giving your woman an orgasm during sex!

(Perhaps this explains why there are more females in this world than there are men! Due to the large percentage of the world population that suffers from premature ejaculation, their women aren't having orgasms during sex and thus are conceiving girls!)

3. Timing of sex is another important aspect of gender selection conception. If wish to have a boy, you must have sex as close as possible to the beginning of ovulation, within 12 to 24 hours before. If you wish to have a girl, you must have sex within 48 to 72 hours before ovulation, but not anytime after that until after ovulation has passed. This will ensure that the male sperm will die out and allow the female sperm unfettered access to the egg.

4. Diet also plays a role in gender selection conception. The acidity of the woman's vagina can either help or hinder the male or the female sperm make its way to the egg. And this can be influenced by a number of factors, including diet. If the woman consumes an acidic diet, her vagina will be acidic. If she consumes an alkaline diet, her vagina will be more alkaline.

Alkaline diets are more conducive to the conception of boys. Acidic diets are more conducive to the conception of girls.

So these are 4 fundamental elements of family planning for a gender selection conception.

The Importance of Getting Prenatal Help

Posted: 20 Nov 2009 02:54 PM PST

Pregnancy may be a wonderful and exciting journey; however, it is also an important one and should be taken seriously. It is imperative that you seek medical attention if you believe you are pregnant or have a positive pregnancy result from an at home test. Your chosen health care provider will confirm whether you are pregnant or not, and if you are, start your essential prenatal care program.

Why Prenatal Help Is Important

In order to ensure good health for both you and your baby it is important to be under the care of a health care provider who specializes in prenatal care. You may have pre-existing medical conditions that could worsen during the course of your pregnancy or pose serious threat to your baby. Additionally, there are certain foods, beverages, substances and activities that you must avoid while pregnant aside from necessary prenatal vitamins to take on a daily basis. Your health care provider will also begin taking regular blood and urine tests as a good indicator of how you and your baby are doing. These are usually done during your routine office visits. If you so choose, you may also undergo genetic testing if you feel you have a genetic condition in either your or your partner's family history. Although this process can be anxiety-ridden and scary, it is in your best interest and your baby's well being to be as prepared as possible. As your pregnancy continues, you will have an ultrasound test which will give you the opportunity to hear your baby's heartbeat and for your health care provider to take a peek at the development of the fetus. Often times you will leave the ultrasound appointment with a snapshot of your little baby to share with your family and friends. For many expecting moms, seeing an ultrasound of their little baby really hits the message home there is life growing inside their bodies.

Call Your Health Care Provider

Although after some time you'll be making regular visits to your health care provider to check on the status of your pregnancy, there may be other times you would want to call your health care provider. If you experience any vaginal bleeding or cramping, sudden swelling of your feet or hands or leaking from your vagina you need to be seen by your health care provider as soon as possible to rule out any serious problems. Every woman's pregnancy is different so don't rely on your friends' experiences to guide you regarding your health and the safety of your baby. It's better to be safe and visit your health care provider to be told everything is fine, than to take unnecessary risks.

Additional Sources Of Prenatal Help

Aside from your health care provider, you can learn a great deal about prenatal help by checking out books from your local library or buying them at a bookstore. For sound medical information, be sure to read only those written and supported by medical doctors or hospitals. There are also a lot of fun pregnancy books to buy for light reading pleasure. You can also visit medical websites that focus on pregnancy and prenatal care but be careful not to believe everything you read. Only your health care provider can offer you the specialized prenatal help for you and your baby.
Enjoy your pregnancy but seek prenatal help as soon as your pregnancy is confirmed. You owe it to yourself and your baby to do the right thing to avoid unnecessary risks and dangers and to safely deliver a healthy baby.

Acupuncture For Infertility is an Increasingly Popular Option

Posted: 20 Nov 2009 01:54 PM PST

Chinese medicine considers that medical conditions, ailments and dis-eases are caused by interruptions or blockages to the natural energy flow (the chi) around the body. Acupuncture is a form of treatment which harmonizes and reorders this natural flow thus treating the problem. It does this by inserting fine needles at any of the 400 energy points located in the body to realign the natural energy flow along any of the 20 energy channels. These needles are manipulated, thus bringing the natural energy back into alignment and rebalancing the body.

Although this treatment has been around in China for over 4000 years, it only really came to the United States in the 1970's, where it has successfully been used to treat a number of conditions including infertility.

Acupuncture for infertility seems to work best when the reasons for infertility functional, such as endometriosis, ovulatory problems, or hormonal imbalances. This is because it rebalances the body, including regulating hormone levels, and delivering increased blood flow to the vital organs. Acupuncture and infertility is not a suitable treatment where structural problems requiring surgery, like blocked tubes, are the cause of infertility.

Also, great results are obtained when acupuncture is used in conjunction with conventional treatments such as IVF. Studies have shown that women who use acupuncture with IVF have a 30% greater chance of becoming pregnant than those who don't.

Acupuncture for infertility can also help men. Low sperm counts, poor sperm morphology (size and shape of sperm), and poor sperm motility (movement of the sperm) are all currently treated by acupuncture.

If you are considering acupuncture for infertility, it goes without saying that you need to find a qualified practitioner, but it is also important to remember to find one who specializes in acupuncture for infertility. Also you need to be aware that acupuncture is not a one-off treatment, it is an ongoing course that can last from six to twelve weeks. But as a treatment for infertility, it is well worth considering, so much so that the American Pregnancy Organization now recommends it as a treatment, and some health insurers will cover the cost or part of the cost of treatment.
