For any couple who would like to have a baby boy then their chances of doing so is much higher than they would have thought. According to a lot of research carried out the chances for any couple to have a boy rather than a girl is very high indeed. Yet if they were to learn about when is the best time to conceive a boy this will further increase their chances of doing so.

There are certain techniques that one can try and which will further boost the chances of a couple when trying to conceive a boy rather than a girl. In this article we look at just a couple of the methods a couple may want to consider using when attempting to have a baby boy. In both of the methods we discuss in the article we explain when is the best time to conceive a boy.

Method 1 - The Shettles Method

Through using this technique a couple is attempting to ensure that the sperm containing Y chromosomes is able to reach the egg before the sperm containing X chromosomes. Generally the sperm that contains Y chromosomes moves more quickly than that which contains the X chromosomes and this is something that couples will need to factor into the lovemaking if they are attempting to conceive a baby boy rather than a baby girl.

In his book "How to Choose the Sex of Your Baby: The Method Best Supported by Scientific Evidence" by Dr Shettles, he recommends that couples should have intercourse within 24 hours of the woman beginning to ovulate. Plus he also recommends that intercourse should not take less than 12 hours past the woman's ovulation period.

Along with him giving a specific time period in which to have intercourse he feels that by the man penetrating deeper into the woman will enable their sperm to be deposited closer to the cervix. This means that the more aggressive sperm that contains the Y chromosomes has in fact a head start in the fertilization process.

Method 2 - Whelan Method

This method was devised by Dr Whelan as she wanted to disprove the method mentioned above. If a couple want to have a boy then she feels that having intercourse during the early part of a woman's monthly cycle is crucial. In research carried out it has been found that 68% of the time those couples trying to conceive a baby boy have been able to do so following her method.

When it does come to finding out about when is the best time to conceive a boy there are different opinions and techniques that couples will hear about. Although not all these do help couples to achieve what they want some have. For some couples when the made changes to their diet which meant the eating more red meat and salty snacks this helped. Whilst for some other couples they tried the technique where before having intercourse the man drank coffee and this helped them to conceive a boy rather than a girl. - 30526
