Instructions
Step 1
Gender depends on which sex chromosome the sperm involved in conception had. If he had a Y chromosome, then you will be expecting a boy, and the X chromosome guarantees a girl's pregnancy. These sperm cells differ in their properties. It is believed that those carrying the Y chromosome are faster, but less tenacious than those with the X chromosome. Based on this data, you can plan the sex of the baby.
Step 2
First, determine which part of your cycle you ovulate. You can roughly estimate it on the calendar, based on the fact that ovulation occurs 14 days before the next menstruation. Measurement of the basal temperature helps to more accurately capture the moment of ovulation: on this day, it rises by about 0.2 ° C. You can also use home ovulation tests or ultrasound scans, but these options require an investment of money.
Step 3
Now that you know roughly when ovulation is possible in your current cycle, you can start planning your baby's gender. If you want to conceive a girl, then you should have sex 2-4 days before ovulation. But to create a boy, you will need to start abstaining a week before ovulation and have sex only on the day it occurs.
