Here's some tips I've found on how to conceive a certain sex of baby - Remember, these are not 100% accurate! Just a bit of a heads up....
You are said to conceive a girl if:
* you have sex a few days before your day of ovulation. Female sperm are thought to be stronger and therefore last longer than male sperm, which may die off before reaching the egg.
* you stop having unprotected sex four to five days before ovulation, to minimise the chances of the male sperm reaching the egg first
* you have sex frequently to lower your partner's sperm count, and so increase the chances of the female sperm reaching the egg first
* you keep penetration shallow
* your partner reaches orgasm before you
* you drink plenty of milk and eat dairy products such as cheese and yoghurt, unsalted foods, rice, pasta, certain vegetables, mineral water, limited amounts of meat and potatoes
* you avoid salt and any salty foods, wine and beer, fresh fruit, spinach, tomatoes and mushrooms, chocolate, coffee and tea.
* your partner keeps his genitals warm by wearing close-fitting underwear and tight trousers (although this isn't likely to do his general fertility any good!)
* you suggested the love-making
* you make love in the afternoon
* you make love on even days of the month
* you put a wooden spoon under your bed and a pink ribbon under your pillow
You are said to conceive a boy if
* you have sex on the day of ovulation. Male sperm are thought to swim faster and reach the egg first.
* you avoid sex for a week before ovulation and then only have sex once on ovulation day, to keep the sperm count high
* your partner has a high sperm count. Male sperm are not as strong as female sperm, and so the higher the count, the more chance there is of a male sperm reaching the egg first
* you have deep penetration during sex
* you reach orgasm before your partner, this releases an alkaline fluid thought to be more male-sperm friendly than the vagina's natural acidity
* you eat salty food, plenty of meat, fish, white flour, pasta, fresh fruit, certain vegetables
* you avoid milk and dairy products, such as yoghurt and cheese, nuts, chocolate, shellfish and wholemeal bread.
* your partner keeps his genitals cool by wearing boxer shorts and loose-fitting trousers
* your partner suggested the love-making
* you make love at night
* you make love on odd days of the month
