If you are interested in gender selection and want to try conceiving a boy then there are few ways that you can put the odds in your favor. While this method is not 100% guaranteed (even laboratory sex selection can’t offer such guarantee’s) many couples swear that using the Shettles Method techniques have got them the baby boy they wanted.

According to Shettles, you want to do lovemaking as close to ovulation as possible to give the male sperm (which are faster and more agile) the best chance of reaching the egg first and conceiving a boy. It is also recommended that the woman have an orgasm to help change the pH levels to alkaline which favors male sperm.

You can determine your ovulation day by using OPK’s, saliva monitors or by charting your basal body temperature.
