It is known that the possibility of planning pregnancy interested people since ancient times. At the same time great importance was given to one of the most important factors - the definition of gender of the future baby. This factor manifests itself at the moment of conception and depends on the sperm to fertilize the egg. During fertilization sperm with a Y-chromosome is a boy, and with the X chromosome - a girl. But the centuries-old observations argue that there are methods to conceive and have a baby of the desired sex. It is believed that through such methods to the light appeared the long-awaited heirs nobles. Myth or reality?

Of course, not all of the known methods are credible, but there are ways that confirmed the veracity of long-term statistics. One of them - a floor plan of the child for ovulation.

How it works?

The ability to explain the effectiveness of this method came after scientists were able to conduct studies of human sperm. It turned out that not all spermatozoa same. For example, "Men» Y-sperm are significantly different from the "female» X. They are smaller in size, moving much more active, but have a low resistance to negative factors and the short period of life.

Methods of determining the sex of the child for ovulation has been developed in Poland by local doctors. She began to be widely used in the late twentieth century, using showed fairly stable percentage of accuracy of 87%. This method is based entirely on the performance and durability of the activity of sperm. During sexual intercourse, at a time when ovulation occurs or immediately after it, the more active "male" sperm will reach the egg and thus have more opportunities for her fertilization. If sexual intercourse takes place long before ovulation, then have a short shelf life of Y-sperm cells die and the chance to appear at the X-sperm.

Features of the female body

The probability of conception when the girl had sex a few days before ovulation and is due to the peculiarities of the female body. The lifetime of the egg may be from 1 to 2 days. Waiting for that moment, the sperm must spend a certain period in the female genital tract, where, depending on ovulation varies acidity. On the eve of "birth" of the egg environment is more alkaline, which promotes "male" sperm. A few days before that time medium is a high acidity, resulting in the death of Y-sperm. There are only resistant to adverse factors of the X sperm, which reach the egg.

Proponents of methods for determining the sex of the child for ovulation also admit the view that the egg itself "chooses" his sperm right, passing it through a shell. According to this theory, the baby gender planning should be done in the following way: if you want to give birth to a boy the woman must have sex before ovulation, if the dream of a girl conception should occur immediately thereafter. Not to mention the statements of scientists who believe that the fertilization of an egg after 24 hours of her life desirable. According to them, the egg is exposed to the aging process, and a child of either sex, conceived in such circumstances, may have birth defects. It does not rule out the likelihood of miscarriage or premature birth.

Methods for measuring the basal temperature

Whichever method is used, the basic condition for its authenticity - a very precise determination of the time of ovulation. Even today, this condition is seen in practice rather complicated. There is only way to self-determine the time of ovulation, which has a certain degree of probability. It is based on the measurement of basal body temperature.

It called basal temperature measured in the rectum at rest. As a rule, temperature fluctuations in healthy women indicate increasing isolation of progesterone that occurs before the onset of ovulation. In order to have reliable data, it is necessary to make a special schedule, which recorded daily measurement readings.

In the measurement of basal body temperature must follow certain rules:

1. The temperature should be measured immediately after awakening from 6 to 7 am for 2-3 weeks.
2. To measure a rectal thermometer inserted in the hole for a term of 5 to 10 minutes.
3. It is advisable not to use electronic and conventional mercury thermometer.

After several cycles of measurements can form a picture of the processes in the female body, prior to ovulation. So, for 2 weeks up to this point the temperature will range from 36, 3 to 36, 8 degrees. The sharp jump in temperature to a level of 37 degrees and above will indicate the release of an egg from the ovary - its "birth". Such a high temperature will be kept to a month, then back to normal. The absence of basal temperature increase or fuzzy readings can indicate a lack of ovulation and, as a consequence, the presence of all sorts of diseases.

It should be borne in mind that the testimony can be influenced by various factors: sleep less than 5 hours medication, sexual intercourse before the measurement, cold and poor health. It is not recommended to engage in the measurement of basal body temperature when traveling to tropical countries and a sudden change of climate. It certainly will affect the credibility of the testimony.

By planning sex of the child according to the method of ovulation, should take into account all the above factors. After a mistake in one day may lead to the opposite result when, instead of the long-awaited boy will be born a girl, and vice versa.

More precisely, ovulation can be determined by ultrasound. But such a study should be carried out every day at least 10 days, which is quite difficult. When follicles reach desired size, and will be ready to leave the ovary, it is displayed on the screen.

When planning the birth of a baby, you can use not only a method of ovulation, but also some others. In any case, the percentage of the error probability is sufficiently high. The main thing - to understand it is important for your baby's sex? Is happiness from birth little man is overshadowed by its sex? Boy or girl - it's your own child, which is like no other will need care and love. And only you can make him happy.
