Who determines the sex of the baby is man, because he has the gametes X and Y, while the woman has only X. Thus, to have a boy it is necessary to conjugate the gametes X and Y. This way it is necessary that the sperm that carry the gametes Y penetrate the fertilized ovum.
There are some tips that can help you have a boy; however, these tips may not be 100% effective, as the most decisive factor in determining the sex of the baby is related to the amount of male and female sperm that man produces.
Tips for getting pregnant
1. Have relationships during the fertile period
According to the method of Dr. Shettles, the ideal is to have sexual intercourse during ovulation so that the sperm that carry the gametes Y, who are responsible for conceiving a boy, are the first to penetrate the egg. These spermatozoa, although they are faster, are more sensitive and die faster than females, so it is important to reach the egg that is already matured more quickly.

2. Eat more red meat
To get pregnant as a boy, a great tip is to increase the consumption of foods rich in sodium and potassium, such as red meats, milk, eggs, cereals, rice, corn, beans, wheat, oats, and quinoa, about 9 weeks before to initiate the attempts, because this type of feeding changes the sanguine pH, favoring the conception of a boy.
3. Get to the climax before the partner
Thus the secretion released by the woman in the climax helps the sperm that carry the gametes Y to arrive first and to penetrate the ovum.
4. Use the Chinese table
Use the Chinese table to increase the chances of getting a boy pregnant. Just add 1 to your current age and consult the Chinese chart to know which months you should have intimate contact to get pregnant as a boy. See the Chinese table in: Table to know the sex of the baby.
5. Vaginal wash before sex
Take a vaginal shower with baking soda before intimate contact using 1 tablespoon of baking soda in 1 liter of water. Baking soda alters vaginal pH, facilitating the entry of Y spermatozoa.
6. Position to get pregnant boy
During intimate contact, the best position to conceive as a boy is one in which the penetration is deeper, because in this way there is a greater contact with the cervix, which facilitates the entry of Y spermatozoa.
