My husband said that he heard somewhere that different sexual positions play a role in determining the baby’s gender. I know! Funny huh? Well, I still did a little research because I know my husband doesnt just make up things. He must’ve read it somewhere. And this is what I found out - from ivillage. “

In order to increase your chances of conceiving a child of the gender you wish, you need to learn how to identify your cervical fluid extremely well. It is a good idea to keep a chart for at least several cycles before you attempt to try to get pregnant.

One theory is that sperm that carry the male chromosome are tiny and fragile but very quick, whereas the female sperm are larger and hardier, but rather sluggish. Those that adhere to this theory claim that you can improve your chances of conceiving a boy, for example, by timing intercourse one single time as close to ovulation as possible, then not again during the same cycle. The reasoning behind this being that the male sperm would race to their reward much faster than the female sperm. In addition, this will assure that the male sperm have as much access to the cervix as possible. Penetration should be deep at the moment of ejaculation in order to give the males a headstart, while the larger female sperm move slower.”

Another theory says that the male sperm are more vulnerable and the vagina becomes less acidic closer to the cervix. So if penetration is deep (woman-on-top or man-behind positions), the male sperm will enter a more alkaline environment and are more likely to survive the short journey and shallow penetration should favor your chances of conceiving a girl: the slower female sperm are hardy enough to withstand the acidic conditions at the entrance to the vagina so could make it through to the egg after the male sperm have died off. This is not true. At least the physics part of it. It’s all about chemistry - the chemical composition of the cervical mucus is what matters.
