Nutritional Help

While there are quite a few methods that might help a woman to conceive a girl, perhaps a good way to begin is with a plan that is completely in the control of the woman and can be followed at home. Nothing can absolutely guarantee that a girl will be conceived, but every step taken in that direction increases the chance of success.

The x sperm and the y sperm both have different environmental requirements. The x sperm, the sperm that will produce a girl, have an affinity for an acid environment. These sperm are slower than the male sperm, but more resilient. They have better staying power. A vagina that has veered towards the alkaline will favor the y sperm, the boy making sperm. The thing to do is to make the body, and therefore the vagina itself, more acidic.

A way to make the body more acidic is by a change in diet to foods that will do just that. The woman should eat foods like oranges, meat, blueberries, grapefruit, yogurt, and sour cream. These foods will help change your body chemistry. The woman should also make sure that she is getting plenty of magnesium and calcium in her diet. There are also certain foods that should be avoided, such as chocolate, bananas, and salty foods, so potato chips and pretzels should be left on the shelf for the time being. It is also wise to avoid caffeine at this time.

Some women are interested in finding out exactly how acidic or alkaline their body is and this can be tested using ph strips. These strips will tell the woman the ph level in her body and give her some idea of how stringent a diet she needs to follow.

Although dietary means can be used to acidify the body, some women opt to give nature a helping hand by means of douches. Douches that will produce an acidic vaginal environment are generally available from a doctor or a clinic that deals in gender selection. Some women find that a douche prepared at home might serve. It should be pointed out, however, that cleanliness is of the utmost importance and every effort should be made to provide as sterile an environment as possible while using a douche.

Following a careful diet that will make the body more acid and perhaps using an appropriate douche should make the vagina more acidic and raise the chance a couple has of conceiving a girl. The male sperm should be unable to survive well in an acidic environment and therefore, the female sperm will have a much better chance of reaching and fertilizing the egg.
