The birth of a child is an important event inevery family. Of course, parents are happy about the birth of both boys and girls. But sometimes you want to "outsmart" nature a little and conceive a child of a certain gender. Both "grandfather's" methods and scientific and technological progress can help with this. At all times, a large number of people have had a desire to give birth to a child of a certain gender, and in connection with this, a huge number of different methods have appeared that affect the gender of the child. However, no method can guarantee you a 100% result. So try the methods of predicting gender that interest you, and in the case of the opposite result, do not be upset, because happiness is not in the gender of the child, but in the health of children!
On the renewal of blood
This method is based on the cyclical nature of the update.(both men and women) blood. Research results show that men's blood is renewed once every 4 years, while women's blood is renewed once every 3 years. The state of the blood (blood strength) changes from maximum (at the beginning of each cycle) to minimum (at the end of the cycle). At conception, the sex of the child depends on whose blood is younger (stronger) at that moment. The state of the blood of future parents can be calculated as follows: the father's age is divided by 4, and the mother's age by 3, and the results are compared. The main thing in the resulting figures is the remainder - the numbers that result from the division, after the decimal point. Example: the mother is 24 years old at the time of conception, and the father is 29.
- 24: 3 = 8.0
- 29: 4 = 7.25
Now the remainder is compared:the mother has 0, and the father has 25. The parent with the smaller remainder is considered to have younger and stronger blood, and that is the gender of the child to expect. In this case, since the mother has the smaller remainder, a girl should be expected. When determining gender using the blood renewal method, please note: if you have had significant blood loss, you are a donor, or you have had blood transfusions, then the date of blood renewal should be calculated not from birth, but from this date, since it will be the date of your blood renewal.
Planning for ovulation
Knowing what day ovulation occurred and the datesexual intercourse, you can make a pregnancy calendar - calculate the sex of the child using the Hatzold method. Scientists have found that sperm carrying the Y chromosome (which is responsible for the birth of a boy) are more mobile than sperm carrying the X chromosome. However, sperm with the Y chromosome quickly die in the acidic environment of the vagina, and their brothers with the X chromosome can live for several more days. This means that with sexual intercourse a few days before ovulation, there is a high probability of conceiving a girl, and if you abstain from sexual intercourse a week before ovulation and resume sexual relations the day or on the day of ovulation - there is a high probability of having a boy. The method is called the "Hatzold Method" because it was developed by demographer Otfried Hatzold. He also explains how to calculate the time of ovulation using basal temperature (body temperature at rest, which is measured immediately after waking up, without getting out of bed). To calculate the day of ovulation, you need to measure your basal temperature daily (it doesn’t matter where — in the mouth, in the rectum or in the vagina, the main thing is not to change the location throughout the cycle) and build a temperature graph based on the data obtained. In the first half of the cycle, up until ovulation, the temperature will be below 37°C, and after ovulation — above 37°C, you will see a temperature jump on the graph. For greater reliability, the temperature is measured over 2-3 months. As a rule, ovulation occurs somewhere on the 12th-16th day of the cycle. If you don’t want to spend a lot of time making graphs, you can try relying on your own feelings. During ovulation, a woman may experience a pulling or stabbing pain in the area of one of the ovaries (at this time, the egg leaves the follicle). Due to changes in hormonal levels, mood swings may occur, the breasts may swell, a feeling of insatiable hunger or loss of appetite may appear, and vaginal discharge may become more viscous and resemble egg white in consistency. If this method does not suit you, you can buy an ovulation test at the pharmacy. Using test strips that react to the level of hormones in the urine, you can determine whether ovulation has occurred or not. But the cost of these tests is quite high, and you will need to use them for several days to determine the moment of ovulation. You can also find a Maybe Baby mini-microscope in pharmacies, which will help you determine ovulation at home using a drop of saliva. Having spent money on its purchase once (the price is about 2500 rubles), you will be able to use it repeatedly to determine favorable and unfavorable days for conception over the course of many cycles.
According to the lunar calendar
Astrologers are confident that the moon alsohas an impact on the sex of the child. If conception occurs on days when the Moon is in a "female" zodiac sign, then the probability of having a girl is high. And if conception occurs on days when the Moon is in a "male" sign, the probability of having a boy is high. "Female" signs are considered to be - Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn, Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces. "Male" - Gemini, Aries, Leo, Aquarius, Sagittarius, Libra. Dr. Eugene Jonas, who interviewed 30,000 women in labor, believes that the probability of "hitting" when using this method is 90%. Experts have discovered another pattern - If a woman is an even number of years old at the time of conception, then girls are more likely to be born in odd months of the year (January, March, etc.), and boys in even months (February, April, etc.). If a woman is an odd number of years old at the time of conception, then the probability of conceiving a boy increases in even months, and girls in odd months. And more calculations: this method is similar to the ancient Chinese table for calculating the sex of a child, but is presented by the formula: (Bz + Mr + Mz + 3) / 2, where Bz is the woman's age (number of full years), Mr is the month in which the woman was born, and Mz is the month of conception. If the calculations result in an even number - expect a girl, an odd number - a boy. And here comes the pregnancy! The question immediately arises, at what week of pregnancy the sex of the child will be visible on ultrasound. The pregnancy calendar will tell you the answer. The optimal period will be 21-23 weeks of pregnancy, because by this age the embryo is quite mobile and with the doctor's persistence will show its sex. When trying to calculate the sex of the child, do not forget that none of the methods gives a 100% guarantee. But none of the methods will give you less than 50% of the hit (after all, it will definitely be either a boy or a girl). Treat this with understanding and a bit of humor. And do not forget that your child will be the smartest, healthiest, most beautiful and talented, regardless of whether he or she is born a girl or a boy. After all, it will be your child!
