Different positions and conceiving a certain gender?

11 May 2010 6 Responses

A Parent asks,I have heard a few people say that you have a higher chance of conceiving a boy if at the time you conceived you had sex in the “Missionary” position (giving the super speedy XY’s a head start) and you have a higher chance of having a girl if at the time you conceived the female was on top (Giving all the little XX’s more of a chance, considering they are slower than XY’s)

Is there any fact in this?

Do you find this true for your current pregnancy or any previous ones?

    NO.NO.NO.

    There is ONLY ever a 50/50 chance of getting the gender you desire; if you happen to get what you “tried” for using any ‘gender selection’ methods, IT IS A COINCIDENCE.

    It may influence gender by a small percent. I conceived a boy and my boyfriend finished doggy style.

    no lol those are silly myths, theyre fun to test and try to guess the gender, but not very reliable as being %100 accurate

    None at all. There is no pillow, position, no date on a calendar, no food or device that will gaurantee you a particular gender. It’s all about what reaches the destination first- X or Y and those odds are nothing you can control.

    Not sure if this helps but I first child is a boy, he is 2 next month and I am currently pregnant with a girl. I tried the old wife’s tale of having sex 3 days before ovulating, since the XY sperm has a short life span than the XX, according to what I read XY sperm only live for 2 or 3 days, although they are the faster sperm. XY have the longer lives and slower. Anyways good luck!!!
