If I Have Sex Twice In The Same Day, Will I Get A Boy Or Girl Baby?
By: Sandy Dean: I often hear from folks who are trying to make the most out of their ovulation period by having sex multiple times on the same day to give him the best chance of actually conceiving. And many wonder what effect this practice may have on their baby’s gender. I heard from a woman who said: “my husband and I want to get pregnant as soon as possible. I believe that I have just ovulated. So today, we have already had sex twice. We may do it again later this evening. I wonder if having so much sex all at once will have any affect on my baby’s gender. And if it does, am I more likely to have a girl or boy baby?” I’ll try to address these questions in the following article.
My Opinion On Frequent Sex And Your Baby’s Gender Is That It Depends Upon The Circumstances On That Day: It’s my opinion that having more sperm fighting for the egg doesn’t have an effect on your baby’s gender. Regardless of how much sperm is present (and how often it is deposited) the ratio always remains the same. Men have a ratio of about 50 percent boy sperm and about 50 percent girl sperm. This doesn’t change if they have sex often or at a certain period of time. So, no matter how much sperm there is and how often it is occurring, if half of it is boy producing and half of it is girl producing, then you still have roughly equal odd of getting a boy or girl baby, unless there are different circumstances on the day you try to conceive, which I’ll discuss now.
Do You Know Exactly When You Ovulated As Well As Your PH At The Exact Time Of Intercourse: This woman thought that she had ovulated, but she didn’t mention exactly when. Typically, having sex after ovulation (especially a day or two after) favors having a boy baby, while having sex before your ovulation favors a girl baby. It’s also important for me to mention that many women assume ovulation at the wrong time. They’ll think they ovulate a certain time after their period but they never actually bother to check. Many are surprised to find that they were wrong in their assumptions. That’s why I strongly encourage you to actually test your ovulation if you are trying to choose your baby’s gender. Because being off by even a few hours can make a difference. Assuming that this woman was right and ovulation had already occurred, this would make a boy baby slightly more likely.
However, if she also had an alkaline PH at the time she had sex, this would further favor a boy conception. You see, your PH at the time of sex (not on the day of sex, but at the exact time of sex) can also influence your baby’s gender. An alkaline PH makes a boy more likely and an acidic one does just the opposite. This woman didn’t have any idea what her vaginal environment might have been. If this isn’t enough, the sexual positions that you use (and other whether the woman has an orgasm) can also affect baby gender.
So hopefully, this article has shown you that just having frequent sex does not really have an effect on your baby’s gender UNLESS you are also having sex at the proper time as it relates to your actual ovulation, you are the right PH, and you are using the right sexual positions with or without the woman’s orgasm, depending on which gender you want. But you don’t need to worry that frequent sex will have an affect either way.
Still have questions about how all of these variables work together to give you the gender that you want? I’ve put together a few websites that take a lot of the guess work out of this process. You’ll find: resources for food PH lists; step by step instructions; information on PH testers; resources for determining ovulation times; information on when to conceive; and support.

Can I Eat Something To Make Me Ovulate At A Certain Time So That I Can Produce A Girl Or Boy Baby?
By: Sandy Dean: I often hear from people who are having a difficult time gauging their ovulation. Or, they are able to gauge their ovulation but they are finding that it is not happening at a convenient time. I’ve had people ask me if it was possible to eat a certain type of food to either bring ovulation on or to delay it. I actually heard from someone who said: “my husband is away on a work project. I feel like I am going to ovulate within the next couple of days. But my husband is not due home until late next week. Someone told me that if I ate large amounts of sweet potatoes or yams this would delay my ovulation. We want a boy so I know that I need to wait until after ovulation to have sex to try to conceive. Should I try eating tons of yams or sweet potatoes? Would this delay my ovulation for a week or so?”
Honestly, I would not advocate this practice. I am not a doctor or health care practitioner. However, I do know that it is believed that early cultures used sweet potatoes and other foods as a birth control because they had nothing else. With that said, the reason it is believed that this worked was because this was believed to release progesterone, which in addition to estrogen is one of the ingredients in birth control pills. But here is the problem. (And in my opinion, it is a major problem.) Would you want to take birth control pills or something similar to it when you are trying to conceive? I would not think that you would want to do anything that would affect regular, healthy, and predictable ovulation. Today, we have modern technology which has made this practice obsolete. And that is probably not a bad thing.
Your ovulation is brought about by the rise and fall of your hormones. This is a very delicate balance. And some women have problems with fertility because these hormones get out of balance. So, if you are in a situation where you are ovulating regularly, then why would you want to put this cycle in jeopardy? This is only my opinion, of course, but my rule of thumb is that you shouldn’t eat or consume anything (including some supplements) that would have any affect on your hormones which might in turn affect your ovulation and your fertility.
I do understand that planning your conception can seem like a long process, especially since you only get a couple of days per cycle in order to have success. But frankly, if you experiment and affect your hormones and your ovulation cycle, then you may be causing delays or irregularity that gives you even less days to work with and also makes your ovulation irregular and harder to gauge. The thing that this woman had going for her was that she had a good handle on when she ovulated. This was an advantage that I felt shouldn’t be jeopardized. Besides that, she hadn’t mentioned if she was at the right PH in order to conceive a boy. Because if she were acidic during conception, a girl baby was more likely anyway. So maybe the better suggestion would be to not eat large amounts of any certain foods, but instead to begin gauging and tweaking her PH as needed and then to know that she would have the best chance the next month. Or, if she was lucky enough to be alkaline, she could travel to her husband and conceive where he was traveling. I know that this probably wasn’t what she wanted to hear, but I wouldn’t advocate doing anything that can affect your ovulation. This is too precious a commodity when you are trying to conceive.
You really need three things to chose your baby’s gender. Timing, PH, and the right sexual positions. If you need help coming up with the best tactics at the best time for your situation, I’ve put together a few websites that might be useful. There’s more detailed explanations that might make this process a little easier.

Do Some Men Only Produce Boys?
By: Sandy Dean: I sometimes hear from people who are convinced that they man with whom they want to make a baby can only produce boys. Typically, they already have several boys and have been unable to conceive a girl. Or, the man has produced children before in another relationship and has only gotten sons. I heard from a woman who said: “my husband and I have only been married for a couple of years. This is the second marriage for both of us. My husband has four other children from previous relationships. All four have been boys. And my husband’s father only produced sons as well. I’ve never been pregnant before but I want to become pregnant now. And I very much want a girl baby. I so want a daughter to share girlie or female things with. But I’m afraid that my husband is only capable of producing boys. Is this a lost cause? Are there some men who just aren’t capable of producing girls?”
I have to disclose that different people have differing opinions on this. Some people will insist that there are some men who only produce Y or boy producing sperm and that these same men are unable to produce any X or girl sperm. I happen to disagree with this because I tend to believe the more recent research on this topic. Before we had the technology to test for the presence of Y and X sperm, people used to look at sperm under a microscope which made it very difficult to determine one gender over another. Today though, we have a method of testing called fluorescent in situ hybridization or FISH for short. There have been a lot of studies which use this method to look at ratios of Y to X sperm in men and you know what they’ve found? That men have equal amounts of girl and boy producing sperm. This is true even of men who seem to produce all girls and all boys. Even when the researchers were actually expecting to see more of one type of sperm (since the man who was being tested had either only boys or only girls,) they still found equal ratios of both X and Y.
If Men Have Equal Amounts Of Y and X Sperm, Why Do Some Men Keep Producing Boys Over And Over?: There is no question whatsoever that science has shown us that healthy men with no reproductive abnormalities produce both boy and girl producing sperm in mostly equal amounts. The evidence for this is extremely difficult to dispute. But even with all of this evidence, some people are unconvinced because there is so arguing with the fact that the man in question has only fathered boys. Here is something to consider. Since the sperm contains equal numbers of both girl and boy producing sperm, you’re going to have a 50 / 50 chance of getting a boy each and every time. And this doesn’t matter if you’ve already had one boy or 10. The odds don’t change because of your previous conceptions attempts. They are always about equal.
Now, there are some variables that influence your baby’s gender, but often, they relate to the woman instead of to the man. For example, a woman’s PH, the timing of conception as it relates to her ovulation, the sexual positions used, and whether the woman has an orgasm or not can all affect baby gender. (By the way, the woman having an orgasm makes a boy baby more likely, so maybe that is coming into play here.) So it could be that the women in this particular man’s life had some of these variables that was also affecting which gender he kept producing.
I firmly believe that even if this woman’s husband had been producing nothing but boys, there was no harm in trying to have a girl. In order to do so, she would need to make sure her PH was alkaline. She would need to conceive after ovulation. And she would want to avoid orgasm with the correct sexual positions.

What Makes You More Likely To Get, Conceive, Or Have A Girl Baby?
By: Sandy Dean: I sometimes hear from different groups of people who very much want to know the answer to this question. Typically, I either hear from parents of boy babies who want to have a girl this time around (or at least want to have a daughter before their baby making years are up.) Or, I hear from parents of girls who want to change whatever is making them conceive girls so that they can now have a boy.
An example of the types of comments is something like this: “I have had two girls. So I seem to be more prone to conceiving girls. My mom also had two girls but she eventually got a son. I’m wondering what makes the women in my family more likely to have girls and is there any thing that I can do to change this?”
Another example is: “I’m the only one in my small group of friends who doesn’t have girls. I get so jealous when I see them buying the little dresses and bows. What makes them more likely to have a girl while I seem to be more likely to have a boy?” I believe that there are a couple of factors that can make a woman more likely to get a girl. I’ll explain them below.
A Lucky Roll Of The Dice: Ok, I’m only partially kidding. But if you do nothing to influence your baby’s gender and don’t have some tendency toward a certain vaginal PH (which I’ll discuss more later,) then you have roughly equal odds of getting a boy or a girl. You have the same odds of a coin that you flipped landing on heads or tails. Or a die landing on red or black if you’re playing a casino game. And yet, some people seem to have good luck with landing on the side of the coin (or the color in the casino) that they want. The point is, sometimes (if you’re not trying to chose your baby’s gender) it all comes down to luck.
Having An Acidic Vaginal PH Or Being Able To Achieve One: Now, let’s move on to those women who do have an advantage or who are willing to create one. Having an acidic vaginal PH makes you more likely to get a girl because this state discourages boy sperm. And, as a result, if the boy sperm are discouraged, weakened and die off, then less of them can be present at conception. This means that there will no longer be those 50 / 50 odds. And this means your chances are better for a girl.
Some women are naturally more acidic. And some are willing to use dieting, douching, or both to make it so. It doesn’t matter if you are naturally at this state or you reach this state through artificial means (for conception only) as long as you do.
They Naturally Conceive Early In Their Cycle Or Are Willing To Do So By Careful Planning: Some women are born planners who want to do everything precisely right. And I notice that women like this have a tendency to want to conceive early in their fertility window to ensure that they don’t miss a single opportunity to become pregnant. Women who fall into this category are a little more likely to get girls. Why? Because early conception favors the girl producing sperm which lives longer. Remember that boy sperm that didn’t thrive in an acidic environment? Well, they also don’t thrive for any long period of time no matter what environment they are in. So when you conceive early and before ovulation, you are forcing those boy sperm to have to wait for the egg. And many of them can not. So again, you are decreasing their numbers and lessening that 50 / 50 ratio even more.
Now, if you are not naturally a planner, you can begin testing your ovulation shortly after your period. Once you get some indication that ovulation is approaching (which is pretty easy with a saliva predictor) then you want to go ahead and conceive a few days before ovulation. This is another thing that makes you more likely to get a girl.
They Are Willing To Have Sex To Conceive Without An Orgasm: I know that this can be a touchy subject. But I can tell you that having an orgasm makes your vaginal PH more alkaline. So if you avoid orgasm and know that your PH is already acidic, then this is the best bet. And as much of a bummer as this is, if you want a girl it’s best not to have an orgasm (for the woman) when you have sex. This is only true when you are trying to conceive. But if you are having sex to try to get pregnant, then it’s best. Finally, shallow penetration makes a girl baby more likely if it gives the boy sperm further to travel and preys upon their short life span.

There’s more detailed instructions and resources that might make this process a little easier.

I Had Sexual Intercourse An Hour After Ovulation. Which Gender Am I More Likely Conceive?
By: Sandy Dean: I sometimes hear from women who have been checking themselves for ovulation very carefully. The reason that they are doing this is because they are trying to conceive a specific gender. I heard from a woman who had just learned that the timing of her sexual intercourse (as it relates to ovulation) could have an influence on her baby’s gender. And, since she thought she may have already conceived, she wanted to know which gender was more likely. She said, in part: “I have been checking for ovulation for the last three weeks. This morning, I actually got a positive. So, I woke my husband up and we had sex. He needed some coffee first so we probably actually had intercourse about an hour after I got the positive indicating ovulation. So which gender am I most likely to conceive? Because I really want a boy baby.” I’ll try to address these concerns in the following article.
Why You Can’t Be Absolutely Sure Of The Exact Timing Of Your Ovulation: It was absolutely wonderful that this woman was testing her ovulation. So many people don’t. Instead, they guess or they try to make a loose calculation based on the timing of their period, the consistency of their cervical mucus, or the feeling of some cramps. And I don’t quite understand this. Why take chances when it is so easy and cheap to test for sure? In any event, this woman was doing more than most and she was to be commended for that. However, getting a positive test result doesn’t necessarily mean that you have lucked upon the exact time that you have ovulated. It doesn’t mean that your egg became ready mere minutes before. Of course, you may have lucked upon that type of timing. But a positive result on an ovulation predictor is telling you that changes in your hormones have taken place which indicate that ovulation has occurred. However, it’s very difficult to know exactly when. It might have been two hours ago, or ten minutes ago. So, this woman’s window might have been more than an hour later. However, her actually getting a positive result means that her window was a smaller one than most.
The Time Frame For A Boy Baby: For a boy baby, you want to conceive after ovulation. The reason for waiting is because the Y or boy producing sperm do not live as long as the girls. So, if you have sex before ovulation and the sperm has to wait for the ripe egg, the Y sperm will not fare as well. Their numbers will be less because some of them will die due to their short life span. So, if you wait until after ovulation to have sex, then you know that you are not going to have the longevity problem because the egg is actually waiting for the sperm’s arrival. Another plus to this scenario is that the Y sperm (boys) move faster than the girls (X.) So, on the surface, it appears that this woman’s timing actually favored the boy baby that she wanted, but there are other factors at play, which I’ll discuss now. (By the way, if you want a girl, you’d just reverse this process and have sex before ovulation. It’s easier to accomplish this with a saliva predictor.)
Why It’s Important To Look At PH Too: As I said, this woman had a couple of very good things going for her. But, she admitted that she had no idea what her vaginal PH was at the time of conception. In fact, she hadn’t been testing this at all. She didn’t realize that you should test your PH while you were testing your ovulation. You should and here’s why. For a boy baby, you want an alkaline PH. An acidic PH helps to kill off those boy sperm we’ve talked about. So optimal timing gets compromised if you also have an acidic PH. So, if this woman hadn’t conceived this month and wanted to repeat the process next month, she was already doing most things right. She should just begin testing her PH also and tweaking her diet to make sure that she was as alkaline as possible. So that next month if she got a positive for ovulation, she would already be alkaline and she would have the best chance as possible to get a boy, as long as she couple these things with using deep penetration during sex.
But to answer the question posed, having sex after intercourse does favor a boy baby. But to have the best odds possible, you’d also want to have the right PH and use the right sexual positions. Your timing is only one factor that influences your baby’s gender. If you’d like more information on the optimal PH and the optimal sexual positions, I’ve put together a few websites that explain the process and all of the factors that need to be addressed.

I’m Trying To Get Pregnant With A Boy. If My Period Skips A Month, When Do I Ovulate?
By: Sandy Dean: I sometimes hear from women who try to gauge their ovulation using their period as a reference point. But this method can become problematic when their period doesn’t occur regularly or skips a month. This is especially true if they are trying to deliberating conceive at a certain time around their ovulation day in an attempt to get a girl or boy baby.
I heard from someone who said: “my husband and I really want a boy baby. I know that it’s important for me to conceive after ovulation and I’m trying to that. Unfortunately though, I don’t always have a regular period. In fact, sometimes my periods skip a month. So, for the times that I do skip a month, when would I ovulate? I know that when I have a regular period, then I would suspect ovulation two weeks after that. But what can I assume on the months that I don’t have a period? Do I just count two weeks from my missed period?” I’ll try to address these questions in the following article.
Why It Can Be A Mistake To Always Assume Ovulation Two Weeks After An Undeniable Menstrual Period: Many women begin to look for ovulation two weeks after their normal period. I think that people do this because this is what their mother’s or grandmother’s taught them and also because this is an easy method. After all, a regular period is pretty hard to miss or ignore. But, the problem with this can be that not every one ovulates two weeks later. In fact, ovulation can vary greatly from woman to woman and from month to month.
Figuring Out Your Ovulation Day In The Absence Of A Regular Period: What happens if you don’t have any period as your point of reference for one particular month? What then? I would argue that there’s a preferable way to proceed during any month that you are trying to conceive, and this is true whether you’re seeing a period or not. Using an ovulation predictor is far superior and more reliable than using your period as a reference point. These predictors have nothing to do with your menstrual cycle. They measure changes in your hormones which indicate that ovulation has already occurred (in the case of the urine ovulation models) or they tell you when it’s approaching and then when it occurs (as is the case for saliva predictors.)
Women can actually ovulate during months when they aren’t seeing a period. Women can also ovulate at any time during the month. Most do ovulate somewhere around the mid way point, but not all do. So while I couldn’t tell this woman exactly when she would ovulate during any month that she skipped her period, I could tell her how she could test this to determine this with certainty on her own. She could simply test herself on a daily basis and that way she would know for sure. The saliva testers are reusable so that testing on a daily basis is extremely cost effective and easy. You just take a saliva sample, read the results, and repeat the process the next day until you get a positive. And when you get a positive, that be when you ovulate regardless of whether you have a period during that month or not.
Now, in this instance, the woman was trying for a boy baby. So, when she got a positive indicating that ovulation has already happened (with or without a menstrual cycle for that month) she should conceive after that, making sure that her PH was alkaline and using deep penetration during intercourse as all of these things favor becoming pregnant with a boy baby. For women who want a girl, they should conceive once they see that ovulation is approaching but hasn’t yet occurred. And they would want to be acidic instead of alkaline while using shallow penetration.

Are You More Likely To Have A Boy Or A Girl Baby In Your 30s and 40s?
By: Sandy Dean: I sometimes hear from people who are trying to become pregnant and they would like to chose their baby’s gender naturally. But, because they are a little older, they are worried that their age may become a factor and will hurt their chances of getting the gender that they want.
I heard from a woman who said: “I just got married, but this is my second marriage. I don’t have any children but I want kids with my new husband. The problem is that I am 38 and he is 43. Are you more likely to conceive boys or girls as you get older? Because neither of us are all that young anymore, but we really want a boy baby.” I will address these concerns below.
To be honest, your age doesn’t have a lot to do with your baby’s gender. It is possible for sperm count to diminish with age (for men) and for ovulation to become a little more irregular with age (for women,) and both of these things can make it a little more difficult to conceive. However, they have little implication on your baby’s gender.
Let’s look at it this way. Let’s say that this woman’s 43 year old husband was producing slightly less sperm than he was when he was 25. Even so, he was still producing enough sperm for her to become pregnant. And if he was like most normal and healthy men, he was producing equal amounts of X and Y sperm chromosomes. So he would still have equal chances of getting a boy or a girl. Or, here’s another way to look at it. Let’s say that he was producing 100 sperm chromosomes at age 25. (This isn’t even remotely accurate. Men produce far more than this, but I am using this number because it is easy for my calculations.) Roughly 50 of these chromosomes should be girl producing and 50 should be boy producing. Now, let’s say that at age 43 his sperm count declined slightly so that he was only producing 80 sperm chromosomes. Along those sakes lines, 40 would be X’s (girl producing) and 40 would be Y’s (boy producing,) give or take a few. This still gives him a 50 / 50 chance of getting either gender. Because what determines gender is which sperm chromosome fertilizes the egg.
However, with that said, it is important to know that women or mother’s to be have a role in all of this also. While the woman’s egg doesn’t have much to do with baby gender, when she ovulates as this relates to when she conceives does matter. For example, when women conceive before ovulation, they have a better chance to conceive a girl. When they conceive after ovulation, their chance for a boy conception rises.
But while an older woman’s ovulation may be a little more sporadic, this doesn’t have anything to do with her ability to gauge their ovulation and to plan accordingly. Even with sporadic ovulation (and not all older women experience this) you can use an ovulation predictor and still pinpoint your ovation just fine.
Here’s one more thing to consider. When a woman’s vaginal PH is acidic, this helps make a girl more likely while an alkaline PH favors a boy conception. But there is no evidence that a woman’s age is a factor in her PH. While her diet or douching can change PH, age doesn’t appear to.
So to answer the question posed, people in their 30s and 40s have the same odds of conceiving a girl or boy as people in their 20s if they are conceiving naturally. And those odds are roughly 50 / 50. Now if you wanted to naturally change these odds, you could play with your timing and tweak the woman’s PH and the sexual positions used. But if you did nothing, you would have the same odds (more or less) for both genders.

What Can I Do After Sex To Help Get A Boy Or Girl Baby?
By: Sandy Dean: Most of the questions that I get about choosing your baby’s gender concern specifics regarding your regimen before you attempt to have sex in order to conceive. Occasionally though, I hear from someone who has already had what they hope is conception sex and who is, after the fact, trying to influence their baby’s gender.
I heard from a woman who said: “my husband and I want to have a boy baby. I have had sex on what I think is my ovulation day. Now, what should do to make sure that I definitely get a boy?” This question concerned a boy baby, but the answer is the same for either gender. And I will answer both concerns below.
Most Of The Things That Help You Choose Your Baby’s Gender At Home Should Happen Before You Have Sex In The Hopes Of Conceiving: Many people who are successful in influencing their baby’s gender begin their regimen well before they actually want to conceive. They might start testing for ovulation weeks before they actually expect it just to be sure in their accuracy. They might start eating certain foods or using certain douches to alter their PH (which should be acidic for a girl and alkaline for a boy) weeks before they will actually attempt to conceive. And they might practice sexual positions long before they actually try to get pregnant using their chosen position.
If this all seems silly or over the top to you, consider that you really have a very limited amount of time every month where you can actually conceive the gender of your choice. The window is a little more generous if you don’t care which gender that you end up with. But if you have a definite preference, then you need to be very precise with the few days that you have.
Because for a girl baby, you’re looking at having sex only before ovulation and only when you are acidic. For a boy, you’re looking at the period of time when an alkaline PH meets the days after ovulation. As you can see, there’s not a lot of time here, so anything that you can do to create the right set of circumstances before it’s actually time to conceive will help you to be more successful. But taking action after the fact is often too late.
Conception Occurs Quickly After Intercourse And Is Set At Fertilization. By That Time, It’s Often Too Late To Influence Your Baby’s Gender: People sometimes will ask me what they should eat after sex or if they should douche after sex to try to influence their baby’s gender. But typically, if you have already had sex (and hopefully have been successful and have conceived) then it is likely already too late. Changing your PH typically takes more than just minutes or hours. And, unless you’re very lucky, having one snack or trying one douche is not going to be sufficient either.
I wish it were different, but by the time you conceive, your baby’s gender is set. When your egg is fertilized by either an X or Y sperm, then whichever sperm is successful determines your baby’s gender at that time. (X for a girl and Y for a boy.) This doesn’t change no matter what you eat or which douches you use after the fact. It only matters if conception wasn’t successful and you get another chance.
So to answer the question posed, although elevating your legs after sex and taking it easy can help to give you a successful conception, it really doesn’t do much to influence your baby’s gender. This woman would likely be disappointed, but she could always try again if she didn’t conceive this time. And she herself admitted that she wasn’t sure about her ovulation day. Testing instead of guessing can help with this also.

Has Anyone Had Sex On Their Ovulation Day But Had A Girl Baby?
By: Sandy Dean: Sometimes I hear from folks who have obviously read (or been told) that having sex on or after their ovulation day favors a boy baby. And, in some instances, it can. Sometimes though, people will take this to mean that having sex on or after ovulation means with absolute certainty that you will conceive a boy baby and have no possibility at all to get a girl.
I heard from someone who said, in part “I really want a girl baby. But looking back at my cycle, I’m realizing with a sinking heart that I had sex on my ovulation day and I know that this means that a boy is more likely. I am crushed by this. My question is whether anyone has ever had sex on their ovulation day and still had a girl?”
My answer to this was a resounding yes. Here’s why. The timing of intercourse in relationship to a woman’s ovulation can have an affect on her baby’s gender and there is a scientific reason for this. Having sex on or after ovulation means that you are ensuring that the short lived (but faster) boy producing sperm are at their absolute peak. The egg is waiting for the Y or boy producing sperm. So it does not have to wait around, age, and become more weak. And this works to your advantage when you want a boy.
However, girl sperm is still present even under this scenario. And although girl sperm is slower, that doesn’t mean that an X or girl producing sperm can not fertilize the egg, even when fresh and plentiful boy sperm are present. Plus, this scenario is only taking into account your timing. There are other things that come into play. Also important is your vaginal PH and what positions you use when you have intercourse. If you have an acidic PH, then this environment is going to discourage all of those fresh, fast Y boy producing sperm that I just mentioned. And what would happen then? That might allow the slower girls to make their way to the egg. (Remember that it only takes one to be successful for conception.) And if you used shallow penetration, then those short lived boy sperm would have further to travel, making a girl baby even more possible.
I know it may sound as if I was trying to encourage the woman who wrote to me. And that may be a small part of it. But I’m also trying to show you that there are many factors that come into play. Timing as it relates to ovulation is only one factor. This means that it is less likely (but certainly possible) to get a girl baby while having sex on your ovulation day, especially if the woman’s vaginal PH trends acidic rather than alkaline and anything but deep penetration was used during intercourse.
You have to consider that although late timing makes the most of the boy sperm’s speed while downplaying their vulnerability and short life span, it doesn’t eliminate the girl sperm. They are still present to travel to the egg. Yes, they are slower, but they are still there. ANd this means they still have a chance. Not only that, but many people are wrong about their ovulation day anyway.
So to answer the question posed. Yes, people have had girl babies after having sex on or after their ovulation day. However, if the woman who wrote didn’t become pregnant, then she could be more deliberate the next month. She could actually test her ovulation to plan better and she could tweak her diet early to ensure that she was acidic. These things (plus using shallow penetration) would give her the best chance of getting the girl that she wanted.
As I said, your timing is one factor that influences your baby’s gender. There are two other factors that are also important. If you’d like more information on these, I’ve put together a few websites that explain the process and all of the factors that need to be addressed.

If I’m Ovulating Normally And On Day 14, Does This Make Me More Likely To Conceive A Girl Or A Boy Baby?
By: Sandy Dean: I sometimes hear from women who assume that their ovation schedules might have something to do with their future baby’s gender. They worry that if they ovulate late or early in their cycle then this might make it harder to conceive or to get the gender that they want. And likewise, many think that if they ovulate “normally” or mid way through their cycle, then this will make success a little easier.
I heard from a woman who said “my ovulation is perfectly normal. In fact, I’m pretty sure that I ovulate almost perfectly mid way after my period, or around day 14. I’ve heard that this will make it easier to conceive. But does this make me more likely to conceive a girl or a boy?” There were plenty of assumptions in that statement. Unfortunately, not many of those assumptions were completely accurate. I will tell you why in the following article.
”Normal” Or “Regular” Ovulation Mid Way Through Your Cycle Can Make Planning Easier, But It Doesn’t Have Many Implications On Baby Gender: I will freely admit that women who ovulate mid way through their cycle can have an easier time executing their conception. That’s because they can plan ahead of time because they can be pretty sure as to when their most fertile days are going to be. But even when you are less regular and when you aren’t sure about approaching ovulation, you can still use an ovulation predictor until you get a positive response. This certainly doesn’t mean that your conception won’t be as successful as that of a woman with a more regular cycle. You have just a good of a chance for a positive outcome. Bit you’ll just have to be more vigilant about pinpointing the correct day. This will take a little more work sometimes, but it’s not by any means impossible.
However, neither of these scenarios favors one gender over another. What determines baby gender is whether an X (girl producing) or Y (boy producing) sperm chromosome fertilizes the egg. Many factors can make an X fertilization more likely, like early conception, shallow sexual positions, and an acidic vaginal environment. Likewise, late conception, deep sexual positions and an alkaline vaginal environment make an Y chromosome fertilization more likely.
But notice that I said late and early conception, not late or early ovulation. These truly are two very different things. Whether your ovulation happens early or late in your cycle doesn’t have a lot of bearing on your baby’s gender. One thing will effect your baby’s gender is your ability to conceive either before or after ovulation, depending on which you want. For example, if you want a girl, you should conceive in the days before ovulation. And for a boy, you should conceive in the days after it. Now is this process easier if you ovulate regularly and mid way through your cycle? Yes, having an easier time with predictable ovulation is certainly possible because it makes things more predictable and gives you an easier time with your planning.
But with that said, women who aren’t as regular and who do not ovulate mid way through their cycle can certainly still plan for their baby’s gender. WIth a good saliva ovulation predictor, even irregular women can see as their ovulation approaches and even passes. So to answer the question posed, regular or normal ovulation mid way through your cycle doesn’t really have an effect on your baby’s gender unless you use this predictability to help you conceive at the right time. And even women who aren’t so regular are still able to do this with the correct tools. What really makes you more likely to conceive the gender you want is your timing, your PH, and the sexual positions that you use.
If it helps, I’ve put together a few websites that take a lot of the guess work out of doing the right steps at the right time. You’ll find: step by step instructions; information on diet; resources for douche recipes; and support.
