As it pertains to gender selection, one of the most important factors that parents need to consider is timing. Instead of having to go through complicated methods of choosing the sex of your child, you can save a ton of money and greatly increase the chances that you would have the baby of your choice by paying attention to the time in which conception occurs. The basic precepts of timing as it relates to the gender of your child are directly related to the characteristics of sperm.

There are two types of sperm, male and female. These sperm differ greatly in their genetic makeup as well as in their physiology. Male sperm have been shown to have the ability to swim faster than female sperm. Although female sperm are slower, they have one great advantage over the male sperm in that they are able to live longer than male sperm. This is where timing comes in. If you would like to have a baby boy, it would be necessary to have sexual intercourse when there is an egg present in the uterus. Using an ovulation calculator, you would be able to determine the times in which an egg is most likely to be present. If there is an egg present, chances are that the male sperm would arrive at the egg and fertilize it before female sperm. If you wish to have a baby girl, then you should have sexual intercourse a few days before ovulation. This would guarantee success since the male sperm would have died by the time the egg reaches the uterus. There you have it! It’s as simple as that. Timing really is everything when trying to select the gender of your child.
