Is Pregnancy Gender Selection Possible?
Have you been dreaming of a baby for sometime and now you finally feel ready to take this step? Congratulations. One question that may cross your mind while you?re trying to conceive is if pregnancy gender selection is truly possible. We?ve all heard those stories about someone wanting a boy or a girl and getting the gender they want. But are those stories just old wives? tales?
The answer is yes, you can do a great deal toward selecting the gender of your child. The true question is how important is a specific gender is to you? Moreover, what are you willing to try to ensure your child is the gender you want?
The most accurate way to ensure the gender of your unborn child is through in vitro fertilization. During in vitro fertilization, the eggs from the mother are fertilized with the sperm of the father. Then testing of the DNA is performed on the embryos created. Through this testing, doctors can determine the gender of the embryos before they are implanted in the mother. Only those embryos of the desired gender are implanted.
Naturally, most insurance companies won?t pay for this procedure unless there is a medical reason why a certain gender is required. For instance, if a particular birth defect is passed to a specific gender, then your insurance may pay all or part of this gender selection process.
Many clinics, in fact, will not perform gender selection unless there is a medical reason or if balancing a family is desired. For instance, if you already have several daughters and desire a son, you may be able to find a clinic that will be willing to help you. Your insurance, however, may feel differently and may not be willing to pay for the procedure if there is not a medical reason for gender selection.
If you?re just interested the current theories on home methods you can try to increase your chances of a specific gender, some possibilities exist. One method many would-be parents use is trying to conceive on specific days during your cycle. You?ll need to determine when you ovulate to try this approach. Kits are available to help you determine your ovulation date.
The way this theory works is that if you want to have a son, you need to have sex one day before or 1/2 day after you ovulate. If, however, you?d prefer a girl, then you should have sex 2 1/2 to 3 days prior to ovulation.
Does this approach work? It depends. Some parents insist it works. Others haven?t had much luck. One other approach you can try is douching to ensure gender. If you desire a son, this theory suggests you douche with baking soda or another alkaline solution. To conceive a girl, proponents of this approach suggest you douche with vinegar or a similar acidic solution.
When it comes to pregnancy gender selection, you may find these approaches work for you. On the other hand, they may not. You?ll need to decide before you conceive how important a specific gender is to you.
