If you’ve been trying to get pregnant but it’s taking some time, my advice would be ‘don’t give up’. For many couples it can take months if not years to get pregnant in some cases, especially if there is any kind of underlying medical problem. I mainly speak to couple who come to me specifically wanting to know how to conceive a girl or boy, and much of the advice I give is similar to that I give to those looking to get pregnant irrespective of the sex the baby turns out to be. There are certain things you can do to aid overall conception, and also various things you can do to help influence the gender of the baby you have. The one thing that will guarantee you fail is if you quit trying for the baby you desire so much.
Apart from persistence, you also need to be in the right frame of mind to give you the best chance of conceiving. The human brain is a very powerful tool, so if you are of the mindset that you won’t get pregnant, guess what? Chances are you won’t get pregnant.
Staying positive is a tough thing to do if months and months go by and you’re still not getting pregnant, but it’s essential that you stay positive no matter what. Try to visualize when your child is born and how that will affect your life in a positive way. Think about your baby’s first steps and the first words they will speak – anything that keeps you feeling and thinking positive.
There is much information on the Internet that will outline the natural methods for getting pregnant and selecting the gender of your baby. The advice ranges from timing of intercourse, love making positions, and even what to eat when trying to conceive a girl. Many pregnancy websites will combine these suggestions with advice to monitor the time you ovulate very closely – this is particularly important if your goal is to conceive a baby of one gender or the other.
