Of all the ways to improve your chances of having a daughter, choosing which sexual positions to use to conceive your baby has to be the most fun. Just as important though, the correct position can really increase the odds.
Why position matters
Contrary to old wives’ tales, the effect position has on the gender you envision has nothing to do with who is “dominant” in bed. Your lovemaking position affects the depth of penetration, which determines exactly where sperm are deposited. That’s important because the distance to the egg and the pH level where the sperm are first placed give the advantage to Y chromosome sperm (boy) or X chromosome sperm (girl).
Use Shallow Penetration
Superficial penetration allows the man to deposit sperm at the entrance to the cervix. Although it may seem a bit counterintuitive, this actually gives slower but more vigorous girl sperm a better chance. They are the long distance swimmers while the male sperm are the sprinters who can move quite fast at first but cannot maintain that speed from the mouth of the cervix to the egg. That means the girls win the race.
Another benefit of shallow penetration is that the vaginal entrance is more acidic than the area closest to the cervix. That acidity retains the weaker boy’s sperm, but the tough girl’s sperm can survive.
Two good positions for shallow penetration are:
- The missionary position
This is the “traditional” position with the woman lying on her back and the man on top. Of course, there are variations to this position that allow for deeper penetration, such as the woman placing her legs over the man’s shoulders, but these should be avoided.
- The position of the spoon
In the most common variant of this position, the couple lies on their sides, with the woman’s back against the man’s chest. If you prefer something a little more intimate, you can also do this position lying next to each other facing each other. Both are fine for a shallow entry.
Avoid female orgasm
Yeah, I know this isn’t funny, but there’s a genuine reason for it. When a woman has an orgasm, her body releases substances that make the cervix more alkaline. Avoiding orgasm will help keep you very acidic, giving the girl’s sperm a better chance of beating the boys.
To further increase your body’s acidity and increase your chances of having the girl you expect, make sure your diet includes foods that lower your pH level.
Position alone is not enough
Unfortunately, while position recommendations for having a girl are based on biological facts, there is little evidence that position makes an overwhelming difference. Natural and healthy gender selection is possible, there is plenty of evidence for it, but to seriously tip the odds in favor of having a daughter, you must religiously follow a comprehensive system that covers all conception factors that affect gender, including diet. and time in relation to ovulation.
One technique increases your odds by 3%, another by 10%, and so on until with all known methods combined you can get over a 90% chance of conceiving the sweet little girl you’re dreaming of.
