      2. Choose a time for intercourse

      If you want to conceive a boy, you can have sex (or inseminate) on the day of ovulation to have a boy. This is because sperm Y is more fragile and cannot wait as long as sperm X. Moreover, the closer the ovulation period is, the thinner and alkaline the cervical mucus becomes, which is beneficial to sperm Y. On the contrary, if you want to have a girl, it is better to be as far away from the ovulation period as the cervical mucus is thicker and more acidic, which is not good for sperm Y and relatively resistant to sperm X.

      For the sake of accuracy, it is recommended that sisters choose to have intercourse four days after menstruation. A few hours after intercourse, you need to lie on the right side, which can help the sperm reach its destination quickly.

Therefore, if you want to conceive a boy, you should keep your body fluids slightly alkaline and eat more alkaline foods. If you want to conceive a girl, you should slightly acidify your body fluids and eat more acidic foods every day.
