Dreaming of a pink nursery complete with a beautiful baby girl? Then read on, because this article will show you how to have a baby girl and fulfill your dreams of being a mother to your new precious daughter. Whether it’s your first child or your fourth, many people like yourself want to be able to give nature a helping hand in determining the sex of their child. And with all we now know about conception it’s easier than ever to try to fall pregnant with a specific gender.
To get a girl baby there are a few factors that you need to take into consideration, namely timing of any sexual intercourse that you do, the positions that you engage in and also diet to change the pH levels of your vagina to a more alkaline environment.
So let’s look at those factors in more detail.
Firstly, timing. To be successful in using timing to get a daughter you need to know when you ovulate. The sperm that makes female babies is relatively slow but also very strong and has been known to live up to 5 days inside the woman’s body waiting for the egg. In contrast the sperm that makes males is fast and while it would win the race to the egg by speed, it is quite weak and often die’s off within a day or two.
By determining your usual ovulation day (either by using OPK’s or charting your temperature (BBT) you need to start having sex at least a week before you are due to ovulate and stop within three days of your expected ovulation day. This will make sure that any male sperm would have died off by the and only female sperm will remain ready to fertilize the egg.
Secondly, certainly positions also favor having a girl baby such as those that deposit the sperm closer to the entrance of the vagina so they have to swim further (remember the female sperm are strong and are more likely to survive the longer swim). The usual position for a girl is the missionary position (man on top).
Finally, food also plays a part in your role to conceive a daughter. Certain foods help change your vaginal secretions to more alkaline which favors the female sperm more. Those foods include chocolate, sweets, fresh vegetables and fish. I guess the sugar and spice and all things nice really do apply to baby girls!
Knowing how to have a baby girl is important if your dream is to hold a precious daughter in your arms. Girls really are a joy to all families and by following the methods in this article you are on your way to reaching your goal. Good luck and baby dust to you.
Conceiving a baby is not like looking at a brochure and choosing which one you like, a boy or a girl. The “choice” of having a boy or a girl seems random and the only thing we can do to adequately prepare is think of both male and female names just in case.
However, should you want to have a baby girl for whichever personal reason you and your family have, there is a way to increase your chances. It is not guaranteed, but it is proven to help.
In this article, you would discover the science behind having a baby girl and what you can do to increase your chances of conceiving and giving birth to a girl.
Before we discover the actual method to increase your chances of having a baby girl, it helps to understand how the gender of your baby is determined.
The Science Behind A Girl
The gender of your baby is solely dependent on the father (unfortunately:) ). The fact is, women like us only have 2 X chromosomes, while men like our husbands have an X chromosome and Y chromosome. 2 X chromosomes make us female while and XY chromosome combination makes a male. This goes for our babies as well.
Sperm cells from a man can either contain an X chromosome or a Y chromosome. If a sperm with X chromosome fertilizes our egg, then we have a baby girl. Otherwise, we have a baby girl.
Another important fact that is helpful to know is that Y chromosomes swim faster but lives shorter (meaning they die faster) than the X chromosome. The X chromosome sperm can live longer than a Y chromosome sperm.
Knowing these facts, we can increase the chances of having a baby girl.
The Method To A Baby Girl
Knowing that a Y chromosome sperm doesn’t live as long as an X chromosome sperm, we can increase the chances that an X chromosome sperm fertilizes our egg so we can conceive a baby girl.
To do so, it is best to make love with your husband 2-3 days before you ovulate (I take it that you know your cycle, around 2 weeks before your next menstrual period). This would allow the Y chromosome sperm cell to reach the fallopian tube prematurely (without an egg ready to be fertilized) and simply die off. This leaves only the slower but sturdier X chromosome sperm to fertilize the egg as it reaches the fallopian tube.
So there you go, a simple way to increase your chances of having a baby girl. Keep in mind though that this is not an exact thing as different women have different cycles, and having millions to billions of sperm cells trying to fertilize an egg greatly affects the odds. But following the technique above increases your chances that a baby girl gets conceived.

While I’m not convinced that food alone can determine whether you will have a girl or boy baby or not, there is some evidence that it can indeed play a role in the chance of you conceiving a girl. Diet along with intercourse timing and different positions can help boost the odds in your favour of buying pink for the nursery.
Let’s talk a little about the science behind diet first. We all have heard that you are what you eat, and that certain foods can have different effects in the body. When it comes to conceiving a girl, the optimum environment for the female sperm to thrive in is acidic vaginal levels.
Therefore you would want to include such foods in the diet that increase the acidity of your vagina as well as the proper nutrients to ensure that you have a balanced diet full of the essential nutrients needed for both your personal health and your reproductive health.
According to a study by Oxford University the following findings regarding diet can increase your chances of conceiving a girl.
- High calorie diets are were more likely to product boys so if you are aiming for a girl – try and still to your daily limit for your weight and age.
- Breakfast eaters usually had boys, and those that skipped breakfast more often had girls.
- Eating cereal increased your odds of a boy while reducing the amount of cereals you ate to no more than 2 or 3 bowls a week favoured your chances of getting a girl.
So which foods should you diet on the Conceiving a Girl Diet?
- For breakfast, choose fruit smoothies, yoghurt, fruit and/or nuts.
- For other meals lean towards, fish, cheese, eggs, bread, fruits, vegetables (particular green leafy vege’s) and nuts.
- For drinks, try high acidic juices such as cranberry, orange or grapefruit juice.
- Avoid high calorie and sugary foods if possible.
It has been said that the diet for getting pregnant with a girl baby is far more healthy that that for conceiving a boy.
While following this diet, it is important that you take a supplement and eat a balanced diet to ensure optimum fertility.
Lately there has been more and more interest in the O+12 method for conceiving a girl so I thought I’d go into a bit more detail about it, and let you know its success rates.
As I’ve already mentioned on this blog, the O+12 method for conceiving a girl states that you must have intercourse around twelve hours after ovulation to increase your chances of getting a female baby (this method doesn’t work with trying for a boy baby).

A few weeks back I wrote a post about how to conceive a girl baby and talked about both The Shettles Method for conceiving a girl and the O+12 method. I also briefly touched on the Whelan Method but to be fair didn’t write about it as much as Shettles because I didn’t have all the information.
So this post I’m going to go into more detail on the Whelan Method and also look at some other sex selection theories as well so you have all the information.
There have been some rumors on one of the fertility message boards that I read that taking cranberry juice or cranberry tablets will improve your chances of conceiving a baby. Now I knew that cranberry can help if you have a UTI infection, but can it help you to get pregnant?
From the research that I’ve found, taking cranberry does not help pregnancy per se, but it can influence the gender of your child – which is great news if you are trying for a girl baby.
What it does is make the cervical mucus (cm) more acidic and therefore more hostile to sperm. But because the female sperm are stronger, they are more likely to be able to survive and reach the egg.
Cranberry can also interfere with the amount of cervical mucus that you produce, often drying up your CM, again making it harder for the male sperm to navigate through since sperm need a good amount of egg white cervical mucus (ewcm) to swim through to reach the fallopian tubes.
So who should take cranberry?
If you are trying for a girl and you have no issue with the amount of fertile ewcm that you produce then by all means take cranberry juice or tablets (either is fine). At the very least you’ll reduce your chances of contracting a UTI! Lol
If you are trying simply to fall pregnant, then it’s probably best to avoid the cranberry because it can dry up your mucus making it more difficult to conceive if you are already having problems in that area.
If you currently have a UTI and are taking cranberry tablets or drinking cranberry juice to try and clear it up, but also are trying to conceive then make sure you drink lots of water as well to make sure it doesn’t interfere with the amount of ewcm that you produce.
Trying to choose the sex of your baby may seem controversial to some, but to other’s the longing for a child of a certain gender is enough to want to try many different methods to help conceive a girl or boy. While this article will focus specifically on how to conceive a girl using natural techniques that you can try at home, let’s first look at the history behind the techniques:
