Should I Eat Breakfast Cereal to Conceive a Son Or Boy?

I often write articles that help couples chose their baby's gender. The other day, I got an email from a woman who asked me: "should I be eating a heavy breakfast or cereal if I want to conceive a boy?" I'll answer this question (and give you an explanation of my answer) in the following article.

The Study That Linked Breakfast Cereal And Conceiving Boys: The source behind the reader's question was a 2008 survey which followed only 740 pregnancies. The study found that women who had higher energy sources (more calories) conceived boys a very SLIGHTLY higher percent of the time. This higher amount of calories often included breakfast.

The study indicated that of the women who ate cereal each and every day, fifty nine percent had boys. This gives you about a nine percent advantage over the approximate 50 / 50 odds that are typical. So, these odds are not that statistically significant, but it certainly can't hurt to consume cereal. However, I'd like to explain to you why cereal may be effective and how you can use this knowledge to raise your odds to higher than ninety percent (which are odds that are statistically significant.)

The reason that cereal may help is that it's often high in sodium, potassium, and calcium. These substances are generally alkalizing which means that they will lower your body's acidity. Why is this important? Because the sperm that produces a boy are weak. They can not withstand a vaginal PH that is high or acidic and will generally die off very quickly in this environment.

But, if you are able to lower your PH and acidity (which you can do through diet and douching), then you make your reproductive tract much more friendly to the boy sperm (who are also much faster than girl sperm.) So, if you can stack your vaginal tract with a nice supply of these fast little guys, then you've obviously upped your odds. Food lists, douche recipes, and PH testing strips can make this process a bit easier.

Other Things (Besides Cereal) That Can Help You Conceive A Boy: Lowering your PH is an important, necessary step. But, it's not the only one. Understand that if you want a son, your only goal is to really ensure that the Y (boy sperm) fertilizes your egg. Becoming more alkaline is one way to do this, but it's not the only way.

You also need to appropriately time your conception. Boy sperm don't live for long, so you want to conceive on the day of ovulation. If you go any earlier than this, you'll have these little guys in a weakened, deteriorated state where they aren't racing as fast as they should. Make sure you have a very reliable ovulation predictor (I like saliva) and use it. You really can't leave this to chance.

Finally, you'll want to use sexual positions that give you deep penetration. This allows the boy producing sperm less vulnerability, since they are spending less time in your vaginal tract and it takes them less time to get where they need to go.
