Procedures Showing How To Choose The Sex Of Your Baby -- Science Or Just A Scam?
When I initially created my website choose-sex-of-baby.com there were only very few other sites devoted to information regarding how to choose the sex of baby. But, during the very recent past, websites and blogs offering assistance with choosing the gender of your baby have mushroomed all over cyberspace, with many of them marketing kits and plans for gender selection.
Are baby gender selection a scam? Is there any scientific basis to them?
The only assured way of baby gender selection now available is based on pre-implantation diagnosis. In simple terms, sperm and eggs are fertilized in a lab dish, and a few days after, small bits from embryos are taken and tested to know the sex of each. Then, an embryo with the gender you would like to have, is taken and placed in the mother's womb to allow it to develop into a baby.
One more "scientific" method although without the kind of guarantee which the first technique offers, requires separating of the sperm that brings about a male or a female child, after which using these sperm to fertilise the egg. Two methods are commonly used. In one technique, male reproductive fluid in a container is built to spin at high speeds, and this is believed to aggregate the "male" and "female" sperm separately due to their distinct sizes. Depending on the gender of the baby you want, sperm from the top or bottom of the aggregate is used for fertilization. The next method tries to recognize "male" and "female" sperm based on their sizes, utilizing a dye that sticks to the sperm.
In both these instances you cannot get pregnant naturally through sex. You may have to try more than once for a successful pregnancy. Of course, these treatments don't come cheap.
Techniques based on timing of conceiving. The most common of these are based on the Shettles' method. If we go by the postings on community forums, we discover that lot of couples have used this method successfully, while some have not.
You can find websites that sell techniques to choose the sex of your baby based almost solely on the concept of altering the Ph of your reproductive tract. The idea is that the acidic-alkaline environment in the female's vaginal canal can help or inhibit the chances of conceiving a baby boy or a baby girl by making it simpler or difficult for male or female sperm to endure and fertilise the egg.
Gender Selection Software. We now have websites (including mine) featuring to give you a prediction of the likelihood of your conceiving a boy or a girl, for each day of any year.
When the birth dates of the father and the mother are typed into the software, it generates the probability of conceiving a male child or a female child for any given period. The advantage claimed for using software-generated dates is that one could avoid the bother of tracking your body temperature or secretions for one to three months.
The other benefit is that the software program gives us periods of two weeks to two months during which we can conceive to have the baby of our choice, contrary to other gender selection plans that give you a few dates within which you must conceive, or you've missed it.
In conclusion, I would say this: if you are very serious about selecting the gender of your baby, have the money (around 50,000 dollars) to burn, and are also prepared to endure the inconvenience and the risk of failure a few times, you might opt for the newest medical procedure.
