In fact, it is because of this lack of scientific methods that a great number of couples turn to what can be considered more “informal” and in some cases even “exotic” gender prediction methods that offer little to no certainty of success when trying to conceive a baby boy.
Now, the fact that one method is not backed by scientific proof does not mean that it is completely informal, or that is will not be effective.
Considering this, let’s take a closer look at three methods that all offer quite different approaches, but that all possess a certain level of accuracy, as well as being backed by countless testimonials of couples that have found success with them when determining the sex of their babies to be a baby boy.
The Shettles Method
Easily the most popular method on our list, the Shettles Method was developed in the year 1960 by Doctor Landrum B. Shettles and rapidly gained success, being even the basis of the Dr.’s popular book “How to Choose the Sex of Your Baby”.
The Shettles Method states that it is the differences between the chromosomes X and Y – and thus the sperm that carries them – what is the deciding factor in order to succeed in being able to choosing a baby boy – or baby girl for that matter.
Sperm carrying the chromosome Y – the male gene – tends to be faster, but also more fragile overall compared to the ones carrying the chromosome X according to this method, which is why in order to successfully conceive a baby boy, the Shettles Method recommends that couples should plan intercourse for the period near the ovulation, and when it occurs, penetration should be as deep as possible, in order to maximize the advantage that male sperms can have due to their speed.
In addition to all of this, the method recommends heavily that the woman should try to achieve orgasm during intercourse in order to make the vaginal cavity more alkaline, thus making it easier for the male sperms to navigate, greatly increasing the chances of conceiving a baby boy that way.
The Baretta Method
Known across almost all countries in Latin America, the Baretta Method of “gender selection” was developed by Argentinean biochemist Adriana Baretta, and its basis lies in that in order to successfully choose the sex of a baby, the woman will need to follow a strict diet in order to favor certain minerals, while at the same time following-up closely her ovulation cycles.
The specific minerals that the Baretta Method involves are sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium, with their interrelationship being the crucial factor here. That said, in order to favor the conception of a baby boy all of these minerals should be ingested, except that the proportion of sodium and potassium will need to be lower than the one of calcium and magnesium.
The Whelan Method
While it can be the least-effective method, there are couples that have attested to its effectiveness, even though it contradicts the Shettles Method almost directly.
What the Whelan Method states is that all the biochemical changes that will favor the conception of a baby boy during a woman’s cycle – mainly related to temperatures – tend to happen not at the moment of ovulation itself, but quite some time before it occurs.
That said, this method recommends that in order to conceive a baby boy, couples should plan intercourse for up to six days before ovulation, when the basal body temperature is at its highest.
However, one caveat of this method is that the couple needs to track the woman’s basal temperature very rigorously, or otherwise make use of an ovulation kit in order to determine the time of ovulation with as much precision as possible.
Final Thoughts
Three methods. Three different approaches all formulated with the same purpose, to help couples determine the sex of their future babies with as much precision as possible. And while none of them might be considered an exact science, they each have impressive amounts of testimonials from people claiming to have found success thanks to them.
For this alone, all of these techniques are worth trying by any couple looking forward to have a baby boy.
