Techniques Demonstrating How You Can Choose The Gender Of Your Baby -- Science Or Just A Scam?

When I initially set up my internet site choose-sex-of-baby.com there were only very few other internet sites devoted to information about how to choose the sex of baby. But, throughout the very recent past, websites and weblogs offering help with selecting the gender of your baby have mushroomed all over the internet, with many of them marketing kits and plans for gender selection.

Are baby gender selection a con? Is there any scientific basis to them?

The only real assured method of baby gender selection available nowadays is based on pre-implantation diagnosis. In simple terms, sperm and eggs are fertilized in a lab dish, and some days later, small bits from embryos are taken and examined to know the gender of each. Then, an embryo with the gender you want to have, is taken and put into the mother's womb to allow it to grow into a baby.

Another "scientific" method though without the kind of assurance which the first method gives, involves separating of the sperm which results in a male or a female child, after which utilizing these sperm to fertilise the egg. Two methods are commonly made use of. In one technique, male reproductive fluid in a container is made to spin at high speeds, which is believed to aggregate the "male" and "female" sperm individually because of their distinct sizes. With respect to the gender of the baby you want, sperm from the top or bottom of the aggregate is utilized for fertilization. The next method tries to identify "male" and "female" sperm depending on their sizes, using a dye which sticks to the sperm.

In both these cases you cannot get pregnant by natural means through sex. You may have to try more than once for a successful conception. Of course, these procedures are quite expensive.

Methods depending on timing of conception. The most common of these are based on the Shettles' approach. If we go by the posts on community forums, we find that number of couples have used this technique successfully, while a few have not.

You can find sites that sell techniques to choose the sex of your baby based almost solely on the idea of changing the Ph of your reproductive tract. The concept is that the acidic-alkaline environment in the woman's vaginal canal might help or inhibit the possibilities of conceiving a baby boy or a baby girl by making it simpler or difficult for male or female sperm to survive and fertilise the egg.

Gender Selection Software. We now have internet sites (including my own) offering to give you a prediction of the likelihood of your conceiving a male child or a girl, for every date of any year.

When the birth dates of the father and the mother are entered into the software program, it generates the likelihood of conceiving a boy or a female child for any given time period. The advantage claimed for using software-generated dates is which one can avoid the trouble of tracking your body temperature or secretions for one to three months.

Another advantage is that the software program provides for us periods of two weeks to two months during which we could conceive to have the baby of our choice, unlike other gender selection strategies that provide you with a couple of dates within which you must conceive, or you've missed it.

To conclude, I would say this: if you are very serious about selecting the sex of your baby, have enough cash (around 50,000 dollars) to lose, and are also willing to endure the trouble and the risk of failure a couple of times, you might opt for the latest medical treatment.
