Here is the English translation of the provided text, with the specified requirements followed:---
I. Preparation for a Son and the Same as for a Daughter
If you want to have a son, it is equally important to prepare as if you were trying for a daughter. If you are aiming for a son, not only should you pay attention to the planned conception day, but you also need to acquire some knowledge in advance to be fully prepared.
1. From the day you decide to have a son, measure your basal body temperature correctly as required.
2. Begin taking 4 natural calcium pills daily.
3. For 2 months leading up to the planned conception day, use a condom during intercourse to ensure effective contraception. Do not use birth control pills or an IUD.
4. Continue measuring your basal body temperature to determine the day it suddenly drops. At the same time, observe the increase in cervical mucus and record it on your basal body temperature chart.
5. Even if you measure your basal body temperature correctly, some people may still not know the day it drops. Therefore, it is advisable to visit an obstetrician to check your cervical mucus on the possible ovulation day to confirm if it is indeed the day of ovulation.
6. After taking natural calcium for 2 months, visit an obstetrician on the ovulation day of the third month for an ultrasound examination and a crystallization check of cervical mucus to determine whether to continue taking natural calcium.
7. Adopt sexual positions that favor conceiving a son and relax during intercourse.
8. When trying for a son, the more concentrated the semen, the better. Therefore, have intercourse on the day after your period and again 2 days later, then abstain from sex until the planned conception day to ensure that many energetic Y sperm are released on the day of ovulation.
9. Even if you conceive on the planned day, continue taking natural calcium until your pregnancy is confirmed by a doctor.
Precautions
1. Determining the ovulation day is crucial when trying for a son. To confirm the ovulation day, visit the clinic 1-2 times every 2 months to ensure consistency between your self-prediction and the doctor’s diagnosis.
2. Even if your basal body temperature does not show a regular biphasic curve, if you feel that cervical mucus secretion has reached its peak, seek medical advice for intercourse timing guidance.
3. If you miss taking natural calcium for 3 consecutive days, you must start over. Therefore, continue taking it until your pregnancy is confirmed by a doctor.
4. If the ovulation day determined by basal body temperature measurement does not match the ovulation day observed through cervical mucus, prioritize the cervical mucus observation.
II. Intentional Intercourse on the Ovulation Day
Y sperm are short-lived. As mentioned earlier, the number of Y sperm is twice that of X sperm for a reason. Compared to X sperm, Y sperm have better mobility in alkaline conditions but are otherwise weak—acid-sensitive, lacking endurance, and short-lived. Therefore, according to nature’s design, the number of Y sperm is twice that of X sperm to maintain a balance in the birth rates of boys and girls. Thus, if intercourse is intended to conceive a son on the ovulation day, it is essential to release as many energetic Y sperm as possible.
Releasing Energetic Y Sperm
To conceive a son, the most important factor is to have intercourse on the day of ovulation when the vagina secretes alkaline mucus. Additionally, abstain completely for 2 weeks from the start of your period until the planned ovulation day. However, some may find it difficult to abstain for 2 weeks. In such cases, have intercourse on the day after your period and again 2 days later, so that only two instances of intercourse occur between the end of your period and the planned ovulation day. Especially 5 days before the ovulation day, absolute abstinence is crucial, and intercourse should occur on the day of ovulation or the following day. This way, many energetic Y sperm will be released on the planned conception day.
Furthermore, the ability to release energetic Y sperm is closely related to physical fitness. Even if you have abstained but become weak due to a cold, it will not help. When practicing the gender selection method, both partners’ physiological functions must be functioning normally, so it is essential to maintain good health regardless of the desired gender. Statistics show that the success rate of conceiving a son without determining the intercourse day is 62%. However, if couples are guided to have intercourse on the ovulation day, the success rate exceeds 80%. This indicates that intercourse on the ovulation day increases the likelihood of conceiving a son.
III. Dosage and Timing of Natural Calcium
4 pills per day are sufficient
As mentioned earlier, natural calcium is both a nutrient and a means to increase the chances of conceiving a son. When trying for a son, women should take 2 pills in the morning and 2 in the evening, totaling 4 pills per day, and continue for more than 2 months. Some may think that the more they take, the better the effect, so they use 30 pills per day. Indeed, as a nutrient, natural calcium replenishes maternal nutrition, and taking slightly more is harmless. However, in terms of gender selection, even if taken in larger quantities, it does not enhance the effect. Therefore, 4 pills per day are sufficient.
Additionally, some may believe that since calcium increases the chances of conceiving a son, any commercial calcium supplement will do. However, the natural calcium used in gender selection methods is different from commercial calcium supplements. We do not recommend taking natural calcium for general nutritional purposes. For calcium intake, you can use convenient commercial calcium supplements.
Can it be taken with other medications?
Natural calcium is not a special medication but one of the nutrients. Therefore, taking it alongside other vitamin or calcium supplements is acceptable. However, if taking calcium for nutritional purposes, you can consume foods rich in calcium or use commercial calcium supplements.
What if you forget to take it?
The method of taking natural calcium is to take 4 pills daily for more than 2 months, and it is absolutely essential not to forget. However, everyone may have moments of "carelessness." If you forget to take it once, it may not be a problem. But if you miss it for 3 consecutive days, the concentration of the drug in the blood will decrease. If you miss it for 5 days, it will be completely ineffective, and you will have to start over. If you need to travel for several days, be sure to carry it with you and do not forget to take it.
Another important point to note when taking natural calcium is that long-term use may hinder conception. If you stop taking it and conceive on the ovulation day, it may be because you have abandoned the gender selection method, making intercourse more relaxed and increasing the chances of conception. Additionally, if you feel you have conceived on the planned intercourse day (even if you have not), stop taking natural calcium and have intercourse—this may also lead to pregnancy. In both cases, the intention is to have a son, but the result may be a daughter.
IV. The Effect of Green Jelly
Use before intercourse on the ovulation day. The first condition for conceiving a son is intercourse on the ovulation day. Y sperm, which produce sons, are stronger in alkaline conditions than X sperm, and on the day of ovulation, the vagina secretes alkaline mucus. Green jelly is used to increase the alkalinity of the vagina on the day of ovulation.
The method of using green jelly and storage precautions are the same as those for pink jelly. Refer to the previous instructions.
Do not use substitutes
To conceive a son, it is sufficient to maintain an alkaline environment in the vagina. Another method is to rinse the vagina with sodium bicarbonate solution. Add a small spoonful of sodium bicarbonate to 180 ml of warm water, dissolve it, and place it in a vaginal rinse bottle. Rinse the vagina every 2-3 minutes for 15 minutes before intercourse. However, this method is prone to failure and is best used in combination with other methods.
V. Positions and Ejaculation Precautions
Deep intercourse is better
To ensure that many energetic Y sperm are released into the vagina, deep intercourse is another condition for conceiving a son. Therefore, the male should insert deeply into the vagina and ejaculate in the deeper part. Additionally, after intercourse, do not withdraw immediately. Maintain the insertion position in the vagina as long as possible, ideally for 30 minutes, to increase the chances of conceiving a son. After the male leaves, the female should also remain still, keeping her legs closed, for more than 3 hours.
Focus on positions for deep insertion
To insert deeply, focus on the positions during intercourse. For example, the male on top with the female’s legs raised as high as possible in a kneeling position, or the female on her back with the male lifting her hips and entering from behind are suitable positions. After intercourse, if the male remains inserted in the normal position, placing a pillow under the female’s waist is more effective.
VI. The Relationship Between Orgasm and Ejaculation
Secretion of alkaline fluid
The vagina is usually acidic, but the acidity varies from person to person. However, if the female experiences strong excitement during intercourse and reaches orgasm, the vagina will secrete alkaline fluid. Of course, this also depends on the female’s natural acidity. For example, some may need to experience 2-3 orgasms for the vagina to become alkaline. In an alkaline environment, Y sperm move more actively. When trying for a son, the female should aim to reach orgasm during intercourse.
Spend more time on foreplay
How can the female reach orgasm? This requires cooperation between both partners. Especially the male, to help the female reach multiple orgasms, must spend more time on foreplay. During intercourse, do not always focus on conceiving a son and how to do it, as this will make both partners tense and prevent orgasm. It is essential to relax fully and enjoy the pleasure of intercourse.
Many people say, "Sex experts have sons," and couples who spend more time enjoying intercourse indeed have a higher chance of conceiving a son.
Appendix: What if it is difficult to reach orgasm?
Reaching orgasm requires the male’s assistance. If it is difficult to reach orgasm, the main reason is often that the male does not spend enough time on foreplay. For Y sperm, experiencing 2-3 orgasms is very important. The male must understand this and fully enjoy the pleasure of foreplay. However, this issue varies from person to person. Even if there is no pleasure, if the male inserts deeply and ejaculates in a suitable position on the ovulation day, many people still conceive a son. If you always worry, "What if I don’t feel an orgasm?," it will only hinder pleasure. Therefore, couples must enjoy intercourse with a relaxed mindset.
VII. Gender Selection Diet
Balanced intake of alkaline foods
Scientific research on food has found that some foods are acidic, while others are alkaline. If a couple is truly trying to have a son during family planning, the female should consume more alkaline foods to balance the body’s pH and increase the chances of Y sperm fertilizing the egg. Generally, alkaline foods include fresh vegetables, milk, oranges, bananas, and seaweed.
Dietary considerations for conceiving a daughter
The female sex chromosome combination is XX, so if you want to have a daughter, you should try to increase the chance of X sperm fertilizing the egg. Therefore, pregnant women should maintain an acidic body to hinder Y sperm and help X sperm fertilize the egg. Research shows that X sperm prefer acidic environments, so women should consume more acidic foods, such as meat, chicken, eggs, peas, and grains.
When to take traditional Chinese medicine?
Generally, the conditioning of traditional Chinese medicine is highly beneficial for women. It can be used for daily health maintenance and may also increase the chances of conceiving a son. To further increase the success rate, choosing the right time to consume it is crucial. Based on the female’s physiological cycle, the ideal time to take traditional Chinese medicine is about a week after the period. This period coincides with the end of menstruation and before ovulation. The recommended dosage is at least 2-3 doses per month. Although taking traditional Chinese medicine does not guarantee a 100% chance of conceiving a son, it is excellent for the health of modern busy women and is highly beneficial. Those interested may want to try it.
The best time for dietary control
Since dietary control is so important for couples planning pregnancy, many expectant parents must be considering it. However, they may still have doubts about the appropriate timing and duration of dietary control to truly achieve the goal of conceiving a son or daughter.
In fact, improving the body through balanced diet is a gradual process, so it requires time for adaptation and adjustment. Therefore, if couples are serious about dietary control, they should start at least a year before planning pregnancy for better results. Additionally, expectant fathers must work together with their wives to control their diet and maintain a regular daily routine, avoiding overexertion.
