Well, put simply, it’s a very broad term used to describe methods of choosing the gender of your baby before conception. There are some very expensive methods of preconception gender selection, and even these expensive methods are not guaranteed to help you conceive a boy.

At How to Conceive a Boy, we believe very strongly in using natural methods of gender selection – these methods cost virtually nothing to try and they are thought to have an excellent success rate in helping you to conceive a boy.

So if you’re looking for low cost methods of preconception gender selection, why don’t you have a look at our guide to gender selection, Baby Gender Selector. You can have a look at it by clicking here.

Foods high in potassium include meat and fish, some vegetables (potatoes, tomatoes, spinach), some fruits (bananas, apricots, avocados, oranges, kiwis, prunes), and of course, milk.

Foods high in sodium include some types of meat (bacon, ham, corned beef, pepperoni, and canned meats), some types of fish (sardines, smoked salmon), cheese, and tomato juice.

Increasing your intake of sodium and potassium can be done any time before you plan to conceive, but ideally should be done at least 6 weeks before.

Because male sperm are thought to be weaker than female sperm, they are less likely to be able to swim the greater distance to the womb than female sperm (which are stronger and more resilient than male sperm). However, male sperm are also thought to be faster swimmers than female sperm, giving them a speed advantage. So by using a deep penetration position, and decreasing the distance to the egg, male sperm are more likely to get to the egg before the female sperm, and the decreased distance gives them a much better chance of survival, increasing your chances of conceiving a baby boy.

Well, if you have a look at the search function on the page, you’ll find that we actually reviewed it a few months ago! We did a full video review of Ashley’s e-book and you can find it here.

Factor 1 – Timing intercourse correctly
One of the most important ways of influencing the gender of your baby is to time intercourse correctly. If you’re trying to conceive a boy, you should have intercourse as close as possible to ovulation. The reasoning behind this is as follows – female (X) sperm are more resilient than male (Y) sperm and therefore they live longer. So in effect they can ‘hang around’ in the female body for 3 or 4 days waiting for ovulation to occur, and fertilise the egg. Male sperm have a shorter lifespan, and will die before ovulation occurs.

So, as male sperm are quicker, and have a shorter lifespan than female sperm – having sex as close to ovulation as possible maximises their chances of fertilising the egg – as they can reach the egg quicker than the female sperm, and can fertilise the egg before they die off.

Factor 2 – Choosing the right sexual position
Have intercourse in a position that allows for deep penetration (for example doggy style), as deeper penetration allows the sperm to be deposited closer to the egg, giving the male sperm a better chance of survival, as they have less distance to travel to the egg. Female sperm are thought to be slower swimmers than male sperm, but they survive for longer, so deep penetration positions reduce the distance to the egg, giving the male sperm a better chance of getting there first.

Factor 3 – Eating the right foods
In order to conceive a boy, it’s best to eat foods high in potassium and / or sodium. You should begin this diet at least 6 weeks before attempting to conceive a boy.
