are we men loosing it .it is amazing how nowadays so many new borns are baby girls.sample this out of the many new borns boys are becoming fewer and fewer.so in 20 or so yrs from now a crisis will stand on the boys:girls ratio and your guess is as good as mine...

question: over the past 20yrs may be(ready to corrected) we used to have more boys even from our own families.is the y-chromosome loosing ground genetically.to us men(iam one of them) where are we going wrong coz we are the determinants of the sex of new born.is it lifestyle,eating habits or poor timing when in the act'. yet we keep blaming ladies that they fail to give us a SON.

guys something is terribly wrong ....ppp



anyone who lives within their means suffer from lack of imagination

Read on expert advice on how to influence.

You will find that Y has more chance of winning when:
1). It's done deep
2). Mama reaches the 'skies' and 'floats'
3). Baba is home early,eats well,relaxes and lets the calories reach all 'muscles' and by bedtime,he's as fit as a fiddle.
4). Baba does not do the quicky thing when he arrives home at 4am in the morning after all night with the bottle in the pub.

From my anatomy class;

Y-xme(boy) is small and fast in swimming while X-xme(girl) is big,lazy and is believed to hold alot of information.The only fertile days in a female is + or -3 of the 14th day in every cycle.Therefore,ovulation happens only on the 14th day.Y-xme has a short lifespan of about 12 hours while X-xme has a lifespan of up to 72hrs meaning it can live in the vagina for 3days.

NB.You can only get a boy when there is an intercourse on the 14th day and a girl any other day in a period of 72hrs that is 11th,12th,13th and 15th,16th,17th.Beside counting the 14th day,signs like rise in body temp,increase in V-discharge can be noticed.The signs are ovulation day and very ideal for the Y-xme.

So,you can see why unplanned intercourse results to girls.Also,very important is the building of volume of males S....The average acceptable levels are 10ml.

MY 2 cents!!!

@ burning spear.....dude im in stitches,how do you knw imefika 10 ml?

Another side of the story.....its said that the great roman empire colapsed coz the roman soldiers were having lots of fun in hot baths,hence their women gave birth to plenty of gals. Soon the men became scarce. if u want a boy,...a cold shower everyday.......


Its far much easier to make war than to make peace! Tiger

@ Burning Spear,

We ni Noma!!!! Even willing to perform a demonstration.

Due to the many factors contributing to irregular cycles such as stress,intake of some drugs,ailments,a couple is advised to have a home thermometer (costs about 55/=)The instrument is used to detect rise in temp as one approaches the D-day.NB-one should be very careful not to mistake high fevers as a result of bacterial flu(homa).

A cycle can be something between 21 days to 35 days.If it follows a certain (specific) interval,it is referred to as regular otherwise irregular.The number 14 is somehow supposed to start from 1st day of period and dividing the number of days by half as extrablessed says cannot be accurate coz one half can be prolonged by internal and external factors.

Beer and Smoking scientifically lowers the volume of sperm and semen and interferes with the overall sex drive.

I speak from experience. I have been blessed with three beautiful princesses and I am absolutely crazy about them,but i can assure you I went through all it all in search of our DS i.e. timing for that 14th day, temperature,rushing home to catch her at the right temp all sorts of sytles,abstaining and none of it worked. However,last year we were finally blessed with our little man and all I can say is I am extatic! and oh dragging her off from the dinner table after lunch leaving guests to mingle might do the trick.. it seem to have done it for us.. lol.

Go to: ask.com (ask web search),or yahoo web search,or google web search,and type 'SHETTLES METHOD'. You will read,and read,and read what you choose to on going for x or y.

Remember the proverbial hare and tortoise

Adapted from internet:

Sex selection is a huge topic in pregnancy and childbirth these days. A recent poll showed that only 17% of women did not have a preference for the sex of their babies. This desire to influence the process one way or the other has lead to numerous theories on how to get pregnant with the girl or boy of your dreams.

The Shettles Method has been around a long time,named for Dr. Landrum Shettles. Dr. Shettles based his methods around the belief that the X and Y sperm characteristics that are different from each other. So the Shettles Method is basically about how you can use these supposed differences to try to influence the sex of your baby,often erroneously referred to as gender selection.

There are numerous medical articles that examine why the Shettles Method is flawed and most medical studies have not been able to replicate the numbers that Shettles himself claims to have seen. In fact,some studies have shown that those using the Shettles Method may actually have trouble conceiving.

The Facts

There are two types of sperm: X-bearing sperm and Y-bearing sperm. The egg,from the mother,is always an X. If the X-bearing sperm penetrate the egg,then the baby is a girl (XX). If the Y-bearing sperm penetrate the egg,then the baby is a boy (XY).

The Shettles Method Conjecture

Certain things done during the cycle or during intercourse will influence which of these sperm fertilize the egg. So,if you were trying to conceive a girl,you would do things that favored the X-bearing sperm and if you were trying to conceive a boy you would do what supposedly influenced the Y-bearing sperm.

According to Shettles:

X-bearing Sperm




survive longer in the cervical environment.
are slower than their Y-bearing counterparts.

Y-bearing Sperm




are faster and smaller than their X-bearing counterparts.
are not as hearty and die more quickly.

Shettles Theory to Conceive a Girl




You should have sex 2-3 days before ovulation to allow the Y-bearing sperm to die off before the egg becomes available during ovulation.
Women should avoid orgasms because it makes the vagina less favorable for the X-bearing sperm that prefer the acidic environment.
Avoid sexual positions that involve deep penetration.

Shettles Theory to Conceive a Boy




Use sexual positions with deep penetration,this gives preference to the supposedly faster,but less hearty Y-bearing sperm.
Have sex as close to ovulation as possible,to take advantage of the speed of the Y-bearing sperm.
Women should have orgasms when trying to conceive a boy,and preferably at the same time as their partner.

What Science Says About Shettles

In talking to families,it is never hard to find women who claim that the Shettles Method worked for them. This anecdotal evidence is,however,not proof of the success of the Shettles Method. There is plenty of scientific study,not conducted by Shettles,that says that the Shettles Method does not work and there is even some scientific evidence that says not only does it not work,but that it can actually prevent you from getting pregnant.

In 1995,the New England Journal of Medicine researchers proclaimed that,'the timing of sexual intercourse in relation to ovulation has no bearing on the sex of the baby.' There are also studies found in The International Journal of Fertility and the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology.

Dr. Shettles did numerous studies himself and not surprinsingly they were always positive. Though the majority of scientists have not been able to replicate his supposed success in sex selection. One complaint that many families have about the method is that the guidelines are strict and difficult to follow,particularly the abstinence of sexual intercourse and orgasm at various points.

In the end you have to remember that there are only a few ways to nearly guarantee the sex of your baby and they involve a lot of scientific tinkering with your body and the whole conception process. There is not any easy method of sex selection that can be done at home. Most couples I have interviewed who choose to do at home methods say they went into this with the mindset that they were tipping the scales in their favor in one direction or the other. Some were very disappointed,while others were thrilled.


The future is already here!
