Trying to get pregnant can be a very special and amazing time in your life. If you have a preference for the sex of your child there are a few tricks you can attempt and maybe you’ll have that little girl you’ve been dreaming about.

You cannot find guaranteed methods to successfully conceive a girl. You’ll have to give these methods a try and hope for the best. The place to start is being aware of your ovulation cycle, which is when your egg will be ready for fertilization. There are a couple of methods you can utilize in order to determine the time of your ovulation. The easiest way is to use an ovulation predictor kit which can predict when you will ovulate rather accurately. Another option is to measure your body temperature. Your temperature will increase up to one degree when you ovulate and will stay higher until your cycle has ended.

When you are trying to get pregnant it’s important to know that your egg will only live for 24 hours. Sperm will live for about 72 hours, so having intercourse a few days before you ovulate can result in a pregnancy. Most women ovulate about 14 days after the first day of their periods. If you’re trying to get pregnant with a girl, then knowing when you ovulate is very important.

If you’re wondering how to conceive a girl specifically, then there are a few things you can try. These include having intercourse often from when your period ends to about 3 days before you are due to ovulate. Even though boy sperm is more fragile than girl sperm, having intercourse in that 3 day window will increase the odds of having a boy because boy sperm travel faster. During the three day time frame before ovulation the boy sperm probably have died which increases the chances of getting pregnant with a girl.

The best sexual position to conceive a girl is the missionary position. The penetration in missionary position is rather shallow making the distance to the cervix longer. This benefits girl sperm that are more likely to survive that distance, especially since closer to the vaginal opening is more acidic conditions. It is much harder for boy sperm to survive in such conditions. One other significant (not necessarily pleasant) factor that can influence for the conception of a girl is that you should avoid to have an orgasm during intercourse. Because of alkaline secretions the odds of the boy sperm to survive to the egg increase. Besides, the orgasmic contractions can help them to move to the egg as well.

Also a diet can play a role when it comes to conceiving a girl baby. Building up the acidity in the woman’s body may kill the boy sperm and allow the tougher girl sperm to fertilize the egg. To build up the acidity to help girl sperm fertilize your egg increase calcium and magnesium and reduce sodium and potassium.

Here were a couple of tips on how to conceive a girl. If these tips don't work for you, at least you have fun while trying.
