Choose the baby sex: and if it was possible?

Our grandmothers were eating bananas hoping to have a boy. Today, the methods to choose the sex of baby are still numerous ... and more or less reliable!
Our grandmothers were eating bananas hoping to have a boy. Today, the methods to choose the sex of your child are still numerous ... and more or less reliable!

Everything is a question of genetics and ... chance
Sex is determined by two chromosomes brought by the parents. The girls have a pair XX and boys XY. Since women can only give the future baby an X chromosome , it is the father's chromosome that determines the sex of the baby . If the selected sperm carries the Y chromosome, the baby will be a boy. And conversely, if he is an X spermatozoon.

At work !
X spermatozoa are slow and resistant. Conversely, Y's are fast but fragile. As a result, those who desire a girl will have many reports during the 10 days after menstruation. Then, refrain from removing Y sperm before ovulation . If you want a boy, abstinence during these 10 days! Then you have the green light. It is indeed necessary to have a ratio as close as possible to the day of ovulation to allow spermatozoa Y to arrive in the lead. Unfortunately, the method is valid for those who have a cycle of exactly 28 days.

Soda or vinegar?
Doctors have shown that X spermatozoa are more active in an acid environment while the Y's prefer a basic medium. They therefore recommend a vaginal douche before the report. To have a girl, one makes it with a liter of water and two tablespoons of vinegar of alcohol. If you replace vinegar with two tablespoons of baking soda, you are dreaming of a boy.

A little fatigue?
Girl lovers, at work! If he is tired, he is more likely to have a daughter. This is the opportunity to go to bed late, to play sports and, why not, the cleaning! By cons, candidates for a boy will have to heal their form. The ideal is to have a report in the morning , when they are fresh like a roach!

Draconian diet
His name was predestined. Dr. Papa,obstetrician gynecologist at the Cochin Hospital in Paris, developed a diet for the mother-to-be to influence the baby's sex. Today is the method that has the best results ... but it is also the most restrictive. Female candidates should focus on calcium and magnesium. On the menu: dairy products at leisure, mineral water, 130 g per day maximum of meat or fish (cooked without salt), bread, eggs, cereals but without salt, fresh or frozen vegetables (no boxes), fresh or frozen fruits unsalted dried fruits. In summary: dairy products and no salt! To have a boy, it's about ... the opposite. Sodium and potassium are at the heart of meals. No mineral water but soft drinks, tea, coffee ... except milk! Meat, fish, sausages and salted butter are recommended. Frozen or canned vegetables and fruits. In short: salt and no milk!
Warning ! Who says diet says risk of nutritional deficiencies . Always ask your gynecologist for advice on balancing your diet. This method is not magic. Admittedly, it shows 87% success but it must start four months before procreation and follow strictly. And even so, nature always reserves surprises.

Everything is already played!
For those who already have a child, our grandmothers believe that the sex of the next is already programmed. Some clues that will save you the last minute surprise? If the moon has turned right after the birth of your baby, the next will be of the opposite sex. It is also said that if the implantation of the baby's hair is in a circle at the nape of the neck, the next will be of the opposite sex. On the other hand, if the base of the hair is straight, it is better to expect a baby of the same sex. Your child starts talking? Open your ears! If he says "mom" first, the next will be a girl. It's the opposite if your child exclaims "dad"

Beware of scams!
The vein is lucrative. Some companies offer a design calendar ... for a fee. Beware! The company often disappears as soon as your check is cashed. Needless to say, the results are not guaranteed. Several opinions have been published on the Selnas method in this sense.

Philosophons a little
Girl or boy, is it really important? What counts above all is the joy of having a child. This is also recalled by the Bioethics Committee. It prohibits the use of sperm selection and artificial insemination methods (which exist and work quite well) for personal convenience. As for those who want at all costs to know what color they will buy the layette, it is better to ask for the sex of the baby at the second ultrasound! It's safer !
