If youve been doing any research online to improve your chances of conceiving a girl then you no doubt have found that most of the different methods are contradictory. Some claim you should have sex as close to ovulation as possible for a girl and others suggest trying to conceive at least 5 days before and no sooner. So which method is right?
This article will go over the most popular methods for conceiving a girl, including their success rates, so you can choose which method is the right one for you.
Method: Shettles
By far the most well known method for conceiving a girl or boy baby is the Shettles Method. It relies on timing and says that for a girl you should aim to have intercourse at least five to three days before you ovulate and no sooner as this gives the stronger female sperm a greater chance of surviving long enough to fertilize the egg.
Shettles devotee's admit that it isn't guaranteed however, and only say that you have a 77% chance of getting a female child.
The Whelan Method
The Whelan Method also relies on timing intercourse around when the woman ovulates, but contradicts the Shettles Method in saying that the best time to conceive a girl is when you notice a rise in temperature using charting methods. Using basal body temperature as a guide, Whelan suggests than as soon as you notice the half degree rise in temperature that means that you have just ovulated and therefore you should aim to have intercourse as soon as possible afterwards to get a girl.
There is a 57% success rate for getting a girl baby with the Whelan method.
O+12 Method (ovulation plus twelve method)
Becoming more popular with women trying for a girl baby is the O+12 method which states that you should have intercourse around twelve hours after you believe you have ovulated to get pregnant with a girl. This method was developed by a New Zealand lady after she had six unsuccessful attempts at trying for girl (she had boys each time) using the Shettles method.
While no clinical trials have been done on the O+12 method, they claim to have a 90% success rate for getting pregnant with a girl baby.
