You’ve been dreaming of having a little girl ever since you were one yourself, but now that the time has finally arrived to start trying for a baby, you’re wondering how the heck you increase your chances of conceiving a female.

Try girl on top

Hoping for a girl? Then you might want to hop on top during sex! Although no single position can guarantee your baby’s gender 100 percent, Dr. Ava Cadell, spokesperson for The Experience Channel and renowned love and sex therapist, says that to have a girl, the woman should be on top so that she can control the depth of penetration. Instead of “going deep”, your partner should ejaculate as close to the opening of your vagina as possible. This will make it much more difficult for the male sperm to reach your egg, since they have a shorter lifespan than female sperm do.

Tailor your diet

Dr. Cadell points to a study done by researchers at the University of Exeter in England, which surveyed 740 first-time mothers, as well as a study by Maastricht University in the Netherlands, to prove her point: “Both studies confirmed that to boost the odds of conceiving a girl, women should say yes to calcium and magnesium rich foods, such as yogurt, tofu, milk, oatmeal, almonds, spinach, broccoli, beans, cashews and oranges.”

Conversely, they should steer clear of foods high in salt and potassium, like potatoes, bacon, bread, shrimp and smoked salmon. The reason for this? In short, the diet is thought to enhance the acidity of a woman’s body, and thus her uterine environment, making it easier for those female sperm to thrive and survive, of course.
