I recently heard from a woman who, in the next year, was wanting to become pregnant. She and her husband had been waiting until they both felt that they were in the best position to become parents. They had decided that the time had come, but they were pretty clear on the fact that, at least for their first pregnancy, they wanted to be parents of a son. The woman wanted to know how to figure out exactly when she should conceive. She also wanted to know if there was any particular sexual positions that would be better to use when trying to have a male baby. I will address all of these things in the following article.

A Look At The Calendar To Determine The Optimal Day To Conceive A Boy: The woman was very detailed and gave me the date of her last period as well as the number of days that are typically in her cycle. But for the sake of making this easy to follow, we're going to assume that she began her menstruation cycle on the first of the month and that her cycle lasted for about 28 days.

Now, as it stood currently, what she had been doing is counting twelve days after that first day of her period, and then having sex for a few days, hoping that she would luck into a fertile day or two. And, this might have worked, but if so, it would have been only the luck of the draw. There is a much more precise day to go about this. And, as it was, she was sort of only feeling her way without any real plan.

It's very easy to check bodily fluids in order to gauge upcoming ovulation. You can do this by checking your saliva or your urine. And, this is a much superior method than just counting days or guessing, as your body will test either positive or negative using its own fluids. So, I advised her to begin using the predictor of her choice starting on day 5. Yes, this might be too early for most people, but there are some that ovulate very early and it's better to be early rather than late.

Also, if she were using a saliva ovulation predictor, starting this early was going to help her to get used to the changes that she would see on the slide so that when she did get a positive, there would be no doubt. What she was shooting for was the day on which she got a positive indicating that ovulation had happened on that same day. This is the best day on which to try to conceive a boy (although the day after the egg's release can work too.) However, there is one more thing that she needed to think about before she actually tried to have intercourse and become pregnant, which I will discuss below.

A Look At The PH Strips To Determine The Optimal Day To Conceive A Boy: Having intercourse on the day that you ovulate does help you if you want a son. This is a much better day to chose than before ovulation. But, there is still one variable that can go wrong. That is the surroundings that the boy producing sperm find once they begin trying to fertilize the egg. If this is too acidic, it will contribute to more of the boy producing sperm dying off or being compromised and just not being strong or healthy enough to do their job. What you want instead is an undeniably alkaline reading. This is much more favorable to the goal of conceiving a boy.

So, to make things as favorable as they could possibly be, I advised her to test with PH testing strips and to make sure that she was alkaline. If she was not, then, even if she did get a positive on the ovulation front, it was best to wait until the next month. As disappointing as it is to wait, it's a better idea because if she were acidic, she would be upping the odds of conceiving a girl, which wasn't what she wanted.

Finally, on the day that both the PH tester and the ovulation predictor gave her the results that she was looking for, she could use deep penetration positions when she did have intercourse. This variable is not as important as the other two, but it's so easy to accomplish and it does give those male favorable sperm a bit of a head start.

Now, you may have noticed that this article did not give a specific day (like the 15th) or one date. That's because this day is going to vary based on the woman's unique cycle, diet, and test results. It's much more important to go by what the applicable tests are telling you rather than what the calendar is telling you.

Conceive A Boy is a website I set up to make the process of having a son a bit easier. I've included instructions and resources for douching recipes and food lists, examples of PH testing strips and saliva predictors, as well as hints, tips, and support.
