Some 'ideas' on how to concieve a
You have sex earlier on in your cycle, a few days before your day of ovulation. This is because female sperm are thought to be stronger and therefore last longer than male sperm, who will die off before reaching the egg
your partner reaches orgasm before you
you have sex frequently to lower your partner's sperm count, and so increase the chances of the female sperm reaching the egg first
you keep penetration shallow
you stop having unprotected sex four to five days before ovulation, to minimise the chances of the male sperm reaching the egg first
your partner keeps his genitals warm by wearing close-fitting underwear and tight trousers (although this isn't likely to do his general fertility any good!)
you suggested the love-making
you make love in the afternoon
you make love on even days of the month
you put a wooden spoon under your bed and a pink ribbon under your pillow
you drink plenty of milk and eat dairy products such as cheese and yoghurt, unsalted foods, rice, pasta, certain vegetables, mineral water, limited amounts of meat and potatoes, but avoid salt and any salty foods, wine and beer, fresh fruit, spinach, tomatoes and mushrooms, chocolate, coffee and tea.
- Both of you should eat fish and vegetables.
- Eat chocolate (this would be a cinch for me however I do have a son also!)
- Have intercourse during a full moon.
- Have intercourse with the man on top. (Another wives tale says for the woman to be on top)
- Seduce your husband.
- Stay calm and cool to conceive a girl.
- You climax first and think pink.
