Do you dream of conceiving a baby boy to balance your family? Does your husband want a son to play ball with, or to carry on the family name?

With a little diligents on your part you just might turn that dream into a reality! The late Dr. Landrum Shettles developed a simple, all natural, three step plan for tipping the odds of you successfully conceiving that little baby boy you want from just about 50/50 to over 94%!

So let's take a look at how human sexuality works, to get a better idea of how the Shettles method of baby gender selection can help you bring a baby boy into your family, ok?

First let's realize that it's a proven fact that it's the man's sperm that determines the sex of your baby. Why? Because the woman's egg only comes with the (xx) chromosome (it's "all" girl!) while the man's sperm can carry either the (xy) chromosome (it's a girl!) or the (yy) chromosome (you'll have a boy!)

The "girl" sperm, it was discovered, is pysically larger, stronger (longer lived), but a slower swimmer. The "boy" sperm is just the opposite, being the smaller, weaker (dies more easily), but can swim much faster (all things being equal, will win the race to the egg, most of the time.)

These different characteristics is what can give you the "edge" in you baby gender selection efforts. Now let's take a look at the three steps of the Shettles methods, and how you implement them to succeed in conceiving that baby boy shall we?

If you want to conceive a boy, you will have to learn how to precisely determine your day of ovulation. This tends to be even more important when trying to have a baby boy then a baby girl.

Remember, the boy sperm is smaller, faster, but tends to die off quicker then the girl sperm.

By knowing what day you ovulate you can have sex to conceive 24-48 hours before and until 48 hours after ovulation to give the boy sperm the best chance of winning the race to the waiting egg.

Because of the sexual positioning, controlling you vaginal ph, and the precise timing of sex to conceive, the weaker boy sperm will be deposited very close to the fresh waiting egg, and more times than not will result in a baby boy.

Seems odd that the position you have sex in can help determine the gender of your baby, right? Well it's true, let me explain how this can help you conceive your little boy.

By having sex in positions that allow for the deepest penetration (espicially during ejaculation) you will be depositing the sperm as close to the fresh waiting egg as possible. This will give the boy sperm a very short safe trip in both time and distance, and will give you your best chance of success.

You will find using the rear entry position (doggie style) or the missionary position except with the woman's legs extended up towards her head, to be two positions that will allow for the deep penetration you need to make this work.

Also after ejaculation the woman should remain still for a few moments to allow the sperm to do the deed! Hopefully that baby boy is begining to form, and in about nine months you'll be holding your new beautiful little baby boy in your arms.

If you want to conceive a boy baby it's very important that you learn to control your bodily ph. How do you do this? Well there's a couple of ways, eat the right foods and supplements to bring your ph up (you need to have a more alkaline ph to favor the survival of the boy sperm) or by douching (not recommended without your doctors supervision, because of the possibility of infection.)

You of course need a way to test you ph, the easiest way to do this is with ph test strips which you can find at you local drug store, or just follow the links to the right on this page. Inexpensive and accurate.

You'll want to experiment and test often to see if and when you're able to effect the needed change in your ph. When you see the ph numbers you want you simply have sex to conceive right then to give yourself the best chance of success.

Here are a list of foods and supplements that can help you achieve your ph goals:

• Vegetables (excluding corn)
• Apricots
• Raisins
• Nuts
• All Bran
• Baked Potatoes
• Bananas
• Watermelon
• Foods high in Sodium and Potassium

The Shettles method of baby gender selection will give you your best chance of a successful outcome in your quest to conceive a baby boy. You could of course try a fertility clinic if you have multiple thousands of dollars you want to part with (with absolutely no guarantee of success!)

The Shettles methods are low tech, at home, all natural, inexpensive, and offer a very high success rate (up to 98%!)

I truly hope you are successful in conceiving that beautiful little baby boy you so desperately want. And remember, even if you fail, you'll still have a beautiful little baby girl to love and cherish!
