Ever wondered how to maximize your chances on conceiving a girl? Here are 5 tips.

1. Visualisation

• Getting clear with your partner and putting your joint hearts together to call in the girl spirit. Being at peace with that which you cannot control and leaving this huge event up to the universe. Trusting in divine timing. Envision what it viscerally feels like to have a girl in your arms, creating a vision board, maybe even meditate on a name. I did all these things, and got just what i wanted!​
• Bottom line: Use your mind powers to get clear with your vision and call her in with your heart!!

​
2. Timing

• Know your cycle. Figure out when you are ovulating every month.
• Dr Shettles said that timing was the most important factor in conceiving a girl. According to the Shettles method, the baby's gender is determined by the chromosome carrying sperm. Boy sperm swim faster, but survive for shorter amounts of time.  Girl sperm live longer, yet swim slower than the boys.
• Bottom line: According to this method, you should start trying for a girl 5 days before ovulation, and stop trying 24 hours before ovulation, in order to maximize potential for a girl...hopefully all the boy sperm would have died off by then.

 
3. Position

• Science also suggests that boy sperm swim faster but die off after short periods, so deep penetration will favor a boy. If you give the sperm a longer distance to swim, the girls will more likely win out.
• ​Bottom line: Go for positions that favor more shallow penetration (such as missionary or girl on top), but put your legs up on a wall after (my tip for anyone trying to get pregnant).

4. Vegetarian Diet 

• Another study shows that eating only fruit and vegetables can help you get a girl. I know this was true for me, as I craved meat (for the first time ever!) just before I conceived my son, but I ate only vegetarian before becoming pregnant with my daughter. Foods naturally high in calcium and magnesium (also a great supplement to take), leafy greens, fruits and rice, are also thought to be good for conceiving girls.
• Bottom Line: Eat Vegetarian and maybe take a Magnesium/Calcium supplement.

5. PH (Acid vs Alkaline)

• So it is all the rage in LA to have an alkaline PH in your body. And this may be true for maintaining optimal health for your body, however it could be counterproductive to conceiving a girl. Boy sperm are less likely to survive in acidic environments. Try sneaking in more vinegar and chocolate! Yummy! Another sad piece of advice is that female orgasm does not support girl sperm because it releases an alkaline secretion that support boy sperm. Chinese herbs could also help with this.
• Bottom line: Eat Chocolate but avoid orgasms. Check out Chinese herbs.

Good luck and HAVE FUN!!
