How To Conceive Baby Girl

By Olivia Campbell-Price

Baby girls are so cute. They're cuddly and they're full of love. Baby boys are too, but if you have not had any luck with having a daughter, then you're probably wondering how to conceive a girl. Well, there are certain techniques that have worked for millions of couples around the world to conceive and welcome a beautiful baby girl into their lives.

Bear in mind that simply following a few tips on how to conceive a girl is not an absolute guarantee you'll be able to have that baby girl you want so much. There are clinical methods that can greatly increase your chances, but these are prohibitively expensive and still may not result in a gender selection pregnancy of your choice.

Did you know that men are the ones who determine the sex of the baby? If you remember from your high school biology classes, it's the X or Y chromosomes in the sperm that ultimately dictate whether a male or female will develop from the fertilized egg. Remember also, that eggs contain only the X chromosome, so if it's a X sperm that fertilizes the egg, you'll have a baby girl.

Sperm can survive within the female's body for a while, given the right environment. Millions of sperm are deposited with each ejaculate and not all the sperm can make it past the vaginal canal and the cervix, but it only takes one to fertilize and egg and result in a pregnancy.

While there is a fifty percent chance of having a boy or girl, did you know that the female sperm has a longer lifespan than that of the male sperm and thus may be the key to how to conceive a girl? X sperm not only live longer but swim more slowly than the weaker and faster Y sperm.

When you have sexual intercourse a few days before ovulation and refrain afterwards, then the likelihood of having a female baby is going to increase. This can be explained by the fact that since X sperm can survive for up to seven days in the woman's uterus, it can ultimately reach the fallopian tube when the ripened egg is released and fertilize it before the Y sperm. Even though Y sperm is faster, it is weaker and the likelihood that it will survive past the ovulation period is less than that of the X sperm.

Your chances of having a baby girl can be increased if you understand how to conceive a girl using natural methods. There is probably no way short of clinical intervention that you'll be assured of a gender specific pregnancy. Even then you are only increasing the odds incrementally, but at a higher cost.
