If you're curious as to how to conceive a baby boy, keep in mind some basic pointers but remember that no matter what you do or what you try, you really cannot determine the gender of your baby with total certainty. Most people don't mind this and are equally happy to have a baby of either gender, but they may still like to influence the gender for one reason or another.
The good news is that are steps you can take which can significantly increase your chances when trying for a boy. Before you rush out though and buy lots of blue clothes and blue paint for the baby's room, it would be advisable to wait, when you do become pregnant, for the gender to be confirmed by a doctor through an ultrasound scan.
One thing to bear in mind if you want to conceive a boy is that Y chromosome (boy) sperm moves quicker but is not as robust as the X chromosome (girl) sperm which tends to last longer. This means that you need to conceive quickly after ovulation so that the slower moving ‘girl’ sperm are overtaken by the faster ‘boy’ sperm. Remember that conception can happen for up to three days after intercourse. Again, you can't guarantee conception will happen at all much less can you force its timetable, but many believe that deep penetration so that the sperm is closer to the cervix and therefore more able to reach the egg quickly is a good way of increasing your chances of conceiving a boy.
In order to conceive as close to ovulation as possible means that you will need to understand your own ovulation schedule. Determining whether or not you are ovulating can be done in various ways. You can chart body temperature or invest in an ovulation predictor kit and a menstrual cycle calendar. Following this advice, while not giving you a cast iron guarantee, will at least give you more favorable odds, so why not give it a go?
