A woman can give birth to either a baby boy or a baby girl. So, she has a 50% chance of conceiving a baby boy. I read in an article online (written by the eHow Parenting Editor) that there are a few ways to increase the odds of bearing a baby boy.
"...Track the woman's ovulation cycles carefully. Keeping a close calendar of when a woman is ovulating is an important tool when trying different methods to conceive a boy. You can buy ovulation detection kits at several stores, and most drug stores.
Use the Shettles method, which is based on the idea that sperm containing the Y chromosome swim faster than those carrying the X. To put this method into practice, a couple should have intercourse no more than 24 hours before and no more than 12 hours after ovulation. Depending on the length of the woman's ovulation cycle, this can be challenging.
Consider the Whelan method, which suggests having intercourse early in the woman's monthly cycle to conceive a boy baby. During a medical study, Dr. Whelan's method worked 68 percent of the time…"
Now are all these methods scientifically and medically proven. Or, is it all hocus pocus, abracadabra stuff?
I would love to find out. If anyone can throw some light, please comment on this post.
