Things You'll Need:

  • Ovulation test kit
  1. Step 1

    Did you know that couples can try various tricks that will possibly help them have a girl baby? Men carry 2 chromosomes, an X and a Y. Women carry 2 chromosomes, both Xs. When a female egg is fertilized by a sperm, each person contributes one chromosome to determine the sex of the baby. As you can see, women can only contribute an X. So, the determination of the sex of a baby depends on which chromosome the man contributes. If he contributes an X chromosome, the baby will be a girl - XX. If he contributes a Y chromosome, the baby will be a boy - XY. Over 200 million sperm are released into the vagina during intercourse. Only one sperm is needed to create a baby.

  2. Step 2

    If you want to have a baby girl, you should have sexual intercourse every day, in the afternoon, if possible, from the second day of the woman's period until 3 or more days before the woman ovulates (releases an egg each month). Then, stop until the next period. By not skipping days, fewer Y sperm will build up. Sperm carrying X chromosomes swim more slowly and last longer than sperm carrying Y chromosomes. The X sperm will hang around for a few days until the woman ovulates. The Y sperm will die and a girl may result. Ovulation can be determined using a test kit you can purchase at a drug store.

  3. Step 3

    Shallow vaginal penetration will give the X sperm more chance to fertilize an egg. It has to do with the levels of acid PH. The entrance to the vagina has a higher level of acid and will kill Y sperm.

  4. Step 4

    If you want a girl, use the missionary position during intercourse. This helps the X sperm be released closer to the egg. Since X sperm are slower swimmers, they have a better chance of fertilization in this position.

  5. Step 5

    Female orgasms play a role in sex determination. The female body releases a substance that raises alkaline levels when she orgasms. Boys are produced when the alkaline level is higher. So, the woman should not have an orgasm if you want a girl.

  6. Step 6

    Men should take a hot bath before intercourse as Y sperm do not like heat.

  7. Step 7

    Some people say that what you eat will determine whether your baby is a girl or a boy. That may or may not be true. Here are some foods to eat if you're trying to have a girl: chocolate, fresh vegetables, fish, sweets.
