5 Tips for Conceiving a Girl Research

Most of you have found this page because you were searching for ‘tips for conceiving a girl’. I’m sure this isn’t the first site you’ve visited in your quest to conceive a baby girl, but I’m hoping you will find exactly what you are looking for here and that my site will be one of the last you visit.

The first thing we must address is whether or not any of these tips for conceiving a baby girl actually work or not, and in all honesty, the jury is still out on some of them, but there are certain methods that seem to have a much better success rate than others.

One method in particular is known as the O + 12 and advises having intercourse 12 hours after ovulation. There are however a few tips that will help with this method of conceiving a girl:

  • Become an ovulation expert – for this to work, the key is in pinpointing your ovulation to the hour. Most detection methods are used to detect the day that you will ovulate, not the hour, so practice is essential. Try to do 2 or 3 practice cycles to help give you the confidence to know exactly when your ovulation is occurring.
  • No ejaculation for 7 days – Notice I didn’t say no sex, sex is fine so long as ejaculation doesn’t occur – and you’ve got to make sure that it doesn’t happen when you’re not there as well! The reason behind this is that female sperm are known to live longer than male sperm, so the older they are the more females they will contain.
  • Ovulation + 12 hours - Ensure intercourse happens as close to 12 hours after ovulation as possible. This is where the method gets its name, so as you can imagine this is quite important.
  • No more sex….for a while – It’s important that no more sperm reaches the vagina until after you are absolutely certain that you are no longer fertile. If you really can’t refrain from sex, make sure you use a condom as a new batch of sperm is likely to contain more of the younger male sperm.
  • Options – one extra step you can take to maximize your chances is douching with a lemon douche just before intercourse. This will create a more acidic environment that it is said female sperm prefer.
