Best Method to Conceive a BOY


I had two posts, "Some Good Little Says on Trying a Boy or Girl", and "Better Chances to Conceive a Baby Boy". they were just references to me when I posted them.

I want a boy. I tried, of course.

So, what is the truth, and what works best. I can tell you now.

For boy. Yes. I tried all the listed.

I personally think this very point, is the most important point for success, which has listed in point no. 5 of Better Chances to Conceive a Baby Boy :

5) Sex and Orgasms of Women:
Acidic environment of women's vagina does not favour Y sperm.

An orgasm during sex helps the body produces substance after orgasm that makes the vaginal environment more alkaline.
Hence, it favours Y sperm.
Have woman to reach the peak (orgasm) first, before man ejaculates.


Yes. I think it works the best for baby boy!

Should your choice of gynaecologist or hospital for delivery come first?

If you do not already had a trusted gynaecologist from previous pregnancy or a recommended one from family or friends, you have to search one for yourself once you discovered (with test kit) your pregnancy, or suspect you are.

I did have 2 gynaecologists who helped me on fertility treatments, but hubby encouraged me to get another gynae (focusing on preggies) for convenience, if I wished to.

Many factors contributed to your choice of gynae. So, location of the clinic or the popularity of gynae you should be looking into first?

To me, location, first. Convenient for regular visits, isn't it? You don't want end up having trouble and difficulties to go for check up with your huge bump towards the end. I chose clinic nearer to my regular spot, which is my house (or office). Happened that my gynae has 2 clinics one near my house and another near my office, with different operating days. Dr Chris Chong.

If you have a few options of clinic in your preferred location, look up their website to cheforsake details for your consideration.

Laboring hospital. Check out which few hospitals the gynae usually go with, and you might be more interested or looking up for. Your gynae should at least serve at the hospital you do not mind admitting. The consideration for your laboring hospital? Price. Hospital charges play a part. Complication. If complication in pregnancy which may cost a bomb in charges is foreseen, and financial affordability is an issue, go for KK hospital. Otherwise, you want a hospital that are easy for you to reach when due or for any emergency. Accessibility is important. Ya, it boils down to location, again. My hubby drives, and we do not expect many visitors, or so most of them drive. So, I do not mind to go for hospital which is not easily accessible by bus or MRT. My main concern has to be the hospital room, then. I preferred newer hospital, or at least newer room. Raffles hospital or Gleneagles. Gleneagles.

The gynae. Gynae who isn't too senior, in age. And, I preferred a middle-aged male gynae. Experience enough in handling his pregnant patients, yet able to channel up with me. I also have this impression that male gynae seems more gentle to preggies (while female pediatrician looks more motherly and better in babies). Ok well, that's my very personal opinion. No offence, please. It's not a discrimination. Just telling you how I feel.

His/ her specialities. Of course, you may want a gynae who focuses mainly on pregnancy and delivering of baby, and not someone who usually treats osteoporosis or illness not so related to pregnancy (though it doesnt mean he/ she is not good enough)? That's the reason for me of having gynaecologists for fertility treatments (one of them is popular even in abortion service, what an irony :p), and another for pregnancy.

Look up for forum to see what other experienced mums said about their gynae, too. You may find many good testimonials (or bad comments) of your choice.

Remember, for your reference only. No manipulation here.

Do it with Passion, not with Mission.

After the most possible solutions we could ever tried, we basically gave up, or rather took it slower. IUI? IVF? Ever thought of that, but not so simple....

I sworn to take it all natural, only placed my hope on praying and wishing harder each month, each year... My birthday of 2012 was approaching, it happened during Chinese Lunar New Year. I prayed during the CNY prayers, I wished in my birthday.... Of all good things should be happening, hubby and I had a tiff, instead! We quarreled over some other matters, but that night, we made it up with a baby dance, a passionate one!

Yes, the key word, passion.

My menses was late the following month, but not much a surprise, it happened at times. I refused to give myself another false hope.... false alarms always happen to me! Another side of me, prayed very hard... had been thinking and considering alot.. Tried to recall how I was during my first pregnancy, hoping to catch some similarities in it... Happy? Nervous? Worried? Feeling was a mix-up, my head was going to burst.... Arghhhh.... Prayed very hard not to see any red discharge each time heading washroom.

Finally, 1 week passed the expected date of my menstruation period, I already had my pregnancy test kits ready.

Still remembered my first test was done at home on a weekend. Did it silently without alerting hubby at first, just to avoid any disappointment brings to him, in case. Thinking of showing him the result window direct, only if......


Out of curiosity, or interested to know which brand of pregnancy test kit is reliable? I used the Watson brand test kit, cheap and good. In any case, I also had the expensive Clear Blue brand. Ha ha.. Anyways.

Holding my breath, 2 lines shown in the window. It was tested positive! With 2 dark lines on the window. Yes, real one!


Note: My key for success (in baby making)? Passion. (*with the base of healthy bodies)

Doctor always emphasize the word, "relax".. Nope, not exactly.. Not "relax", not "stress-free", not "take it easy", not etc... Tried all these, but the key? It's "Passion". It's about being PASSIONATE during the Baby Dance. Period.

Do it with PASSION, not with MISSION. :)
