Release time : 09/08/2025 09:30:02
Whether a baby is born male or female depends on the combination of sperm and egg, not controllable by human. However, we can control conditions that influence the result, such as creating an environment that favors one sex.
In life, many families are likely to prefer male babies, leading to numerous ancient remedies. However, their credibility remains to be verified.
The folk remedies for having a boy usually revolve around creating an environment that is favorable for the survival of Y sperm
Many older generations probably have their own traditional methods for giving birth to boys
A widely circulated "secret formula" for guaranteed male babies has allegedly been created by a renowned traditional Chinese medicine practitioner.
The secret formula was released, attracting countless people to forward and collect it. Clearly, the childbirth secret formula caters to many people's needs.
Perhaps you've grown accustomed to the various folk remedies and superstitions circulating online for choosing a boy or girl. Whether they are absurd or grounded in fact, one can't help but try them out when it comes to having a boy.
This isn't surprising, given that the secret recipe of a traditional Chinese medicine doctor has been shared and bookmarked by countless people.
Is this "guaranteed male child" birth secret really effective? Let's take a look at its components! 1. Astragalus: It can replenish Qi, stabilize the exterior, detoxify and drain pus, and promote the formation of new tissue.
It is used for symptoms of qi deficiency and fatigue, chronic diarrhea with rectal prolapse, spontaneous sweating, edema, uterine prolapse, chronic nephritis with proteinuria, diabetes, and persistent wounds that do not heal.
Due to its therapeutic effect on uterine prolapse and the ability to replenish Qi and stabilize the exterior, it is believed that it may also have a certain impact on fertility.
However, recent studies have confirmed that astragalus monoside has mutagenic effects. The results of harmful element content determination in astragalus samples from their main producing areas indicate that the majority of astragalus samples contain lead concentrations that exceed the permissible limits (>0.8μg/g) for food hygiene standards.
Lead is a weak mutagen and can induce human chromosome abnormalities.
However, the amount of Astragalus used in this secret formula is only one tael, so it is not very large.
2. Dangshen, also known as Liaodan, Trifolium, or Leaf Grass.
The flowering period is from August to September, and the fruiting period is from September to October.
It is found in mountain shrubs and forest edges, distributed in Northeast China, Hebei, Henan, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Gansu, Inner Mongolia, Qinghai, etc.
Codonopsis root can replenish the middle, augment qi, and generate fluids.
It is commonly used for the treatment of spleen and stomach weakness, deficiency of Qi and blood, physical fatigue, lack of appetite, thirst, chronic diarrhea, rectal prolapse, and other conditions.
Codonopsis pilosula is indeed very nourishing and often appears as a food ingredient in nourishing recipes or dietary therapies.
3. Bitter orange, also known as bitter tangerine, sour tangerine, sweet tangerine, or bitter orange blossom, are the fruits of four different plants: citron, sour tangerine, sweet tangerine, or bitter orange blossom.
Various species of Citrus fruits contain volatile oil and flavonoids.
Bitter in taste and pungent in nature, the fruit of Zhi Ke can dispel wind and promote phlegm, expel stagnation, and eliminate accumulation.
Treatment for chest and diaphragm phlegm obstruction, chest fullness, flank swelling, food accumulation, belching, nausea, post-diarrheal abdominal distension, rectal prolapse, and uterine prolapse.
Although large doses of citri reticulata are used in clinical practice to treat uterine prolapse, this medication should be used with caution by those with poor gastrointestinal tract constitution and pregnant women.
4. Zhi Shi, which is also known as green-veined Zhi Shi, sour orange Zhi Shi, and fragrant round Zhi Shi, among others, are the immature fruits of the Citrus species, specifically the Citrus aurantium, Citrus acida, or Citrus citrus.
The difference between it and Citrus aurantium peduncle is that the former is the immature fruit of a plant, while the latter is the nearly mature fruit.
Bitter orange can dispel qi, drain phlegm, and eliminate accumulation.
Can be used for treating abdominal distension, chest pain, coronary artery disease, phlegm and tumors, edema, food retention, constipation, uterine prolapse, rectal prolapse, etc.
Fragrant wood, can lower temperature and warm the kidneys and respiration.
Primarily used for the treatment of symptoms such as respiratory obstruction, vomiting and belching, abdominal distension and pain, weakness and coldness in the lower back and knees, constipation in the large intestine, and painful urination. It is also used to treat impotence in men.
It seems that Cinnamomum camphora is primarily used to strengthen the kidney qi.
However, the indications for the use of amomum are also limited. Those with Yin deficiency and excessive fire or Qi deficiency and sinking should avoid its consumption.
The various medicinal herbs used in the traditional remedy are mostly tonify qi and regulate menstruation, but the proportion of each herb being used—one coin each—is somewhat unsettling for Xingyuce. This ratio seems somewhat oddly balanced.
Although this childbirth secret has been passed down from generation to generation in folklore, many people are probably eager to try it.
However, it is important to remind everyone that before using any of these remedies, it would be best to consult a seasoned physician first. It is advisable to adopt an approach based on syndrome differentiation and treatment, which can then be tailored to the individual's constitution.
The effectiveness of self-administered medication is also unknown.
How to have a boy? In an era where gender equality is advocated, there are still some subjective reasons that lead people to want sons.
Although it is not entirely within human control to determine whether a baby will be born male or female, there are still some methods that can increase the chances of having a son.
According to the characteristic that gender is determined by Y-sperm and X-sperm, many people choose this way of control.
So, how do you achieve a boy? Let's uncover the truth behind it.
1. According to years of research, the body's alkalinity can indeed affect the chances of having a boy or girl.
Women can increase the chances of having a boy by adjusting their body's pH balance and consuming more alkaline foods, while men should follow a balanced diet.
Alkalizing foods include: legumes (with pods or green beans), vegetables, fruits (bananas, pears, except processed fruit), fresh milk, grains (such as corn), tea, kelp, seaweed, yeast, iodine, calcium, and vitamin D.
2. Research has shown that the temperature of the environment where a man and woman live for one month before sexual intercourse can be an important factor in determining the baby's sex.
High temperatures can affect the X chromosome of sperm, making it less likely for a female to give birth.
Low temperatures can affect the Y chromosome of sperm, making it less likely for male babies to be born.
3. Sex has techniques, and high-quality and harmonious sexual activity can enhance the chances of conceiving a boy
Because when women reach orgasm from sexual excitement and intense pleasure, the cervical canal secretes strongly alkaline fluid, making the acidic vagina alkaline and conducive to the growth of sperm.
At the same time, those with more sperm during conception are more likely to give birth to boys, while those with fewer sperm are more likely to give birth to daughters.
Therefore, before engaging in sexual activity, it is advisable for men to abstain from sexual intercourse for a few days. This practice can help produce the most abundant sperm and significantly increase the vitality of the sperm.
Try to use a deeper insertion position during sexual intercourse, such as inserting from the back or raising the female buttocks by 6-10 centimeters
4. Both men and women are young, and the sperm count of men decreases with age, so the probability of having a girl is particularly high, which has been proven to be a fact.
Similarly, as women age, the alkaline secretions in the uterus decrease year by year due to the effects of aging, greatly increasing their chances of giving birth to girls.
So if you want a boy, you must take advantage of both men and women being young
5. A recent study by American scientists shows that married women from affluent families with high levels of education and strong physical health are more likely to give birth to boys.
Women from poor families with poor physical health are more likely to have daughters.
The scientific method of giving birth to boys is that the sperm count of males decreases with age, so the probability of giving birth to girls is particularly high, which has been proven to be a fact
Similarly, as women age, the alkaline secretions in the uterus decrease year by year due to the effects of aging, greatly increasing their chances of giving birth to girls
The X sperms are acid-resistant, whereas the Y sperms are alkaline-resistant.
This is a significant revelation about the gender of children.
Through sexual intercourse, sperm ejaculate directly into the vagina, which is an organ in direct contact with the outside world. To prevent external bacteria from invading, it is often filled with strong acid solution
Inhibit the activity of X sperm in the vagina, but the activity of Y sperm is more inhibited
So naturally, the number of Y sperm that are strongly inhibited in acidic solution will be greater than that of X sperm. Therefore, although the number of Y sperm in males is twice that of X sperm, the sex ratio at birth is basically maintained at 1:1.
This is Dr. Shetland's insight.
Based on the characteristics of male X and Y sperm mentioned above, it is indeed possible to choose the timing of sexual intercourse and challenge male and female offspring
If you want to have a girl, you should have sexual intercourse 2-3 days before ovulation. During the first 2-3 days of ovulation, the cervix does not secrete alkaline liquid, so it can maintain an acidic environment in the vagina. In addition, the lifespan of Y sperm is only 24 hours, so by the day of ovulation, Y sperm are basically extinct. At this time, 90% of sexual intercourse is with girls
Therefore, if you want to have a boy, you must have sexual intercourse on the day of ovulation. On the day of ovulation, the cervical canal is alkaline, which is conducive to the movement of Y sperm and increases the chances of having a boy.
Pre pregnancy preparation for giving birth to a boy or girl is beyond our control. Many factors in life can affect the gender of the baby, and having a boy or girl is related to the temperature of conception and the strength of sexual desire.
What preparations should be made before pregnancy for families who particularly want to have a boy? Will these preparations affect the probability of having a boy? Below, the editor brings you several pre pregnancy preparations for giving birth to a boy.
1. Accurately measuring basal body temperature is essential for pregnancy. First, it is necessary to measure basal body temperature correctly and keep good records. The temperature curve table can be used to determine whether the expectant mother is ovulating, guide contraception, and quickly diagnose early pregnancy, indicating other lesions.
2. Take 4 natural calcium pills every day. In addition to consuming high calcium foods such as milk, eggs, soy products, etc., expectant mothers should also adhere to taking calcium supplements to ensure successful conception of the baby.
3. Use a condom for contraception during sexual intercourse within 2 months from the scheduled date of conception for expectant mothers, to effectively prevent pregnancy
Contraceptive pills or intrauterine devices should not be used to prevent the disruption of the vaginal environment in women who are not yet pregnant.
4. Continuously measuring basal body temperature by taking daily basal body temperature measurements, expectant mothers can ascertain the day when their body temperature drops suddenly.
At the same time, pay attention to the increase of vaginal discharge and fill in the basal body temperature chart.
5. Confirming the Ovulatory Day Some expectant mothers, even if they consistently measure basal body temperature correctly every day, may still not know when the body temperature decreases. Therefore, one can opt to visit a gynecologist on the day that seems likely to be the ovulatory day and check for vaginal mucus, confirming whether this day is indeed the ovulatory day.
6. Ultrasonography and vaginal mucus crystal examination: After two months of natural calcium supplementation, the patient visited a gynecologist for ultrasonography and vaginal mucus crystal examination on the day of ovulation to determine whether or not to continue taking natural calcium supplements.
7. The best sexual position for giving birth to a boy is to adopt a sexual position that is conducive to giving birth to a boy. Try to insert the penis deeply into the vagina and ejaculate after the woman reaches orgasm
After sexual intercourse, women can lie still for 20 minutes without moving their bodies by clamping their legs and raising their hips
8. To ensure the quality of male semen, expectant parents who want to have a boy should have thicker semen during sexual intercourse with their spouse. Therefore, they should have sexual intercourse the day after menstruation and two days after, and then abstain from sexual intercourse until the scheduled date of conception, so that they can ejaculate many energetic Y sperm on ovulation day
9. Continuously taking natural calcium supplements, even if a woman becomes pregnant before the expected date, should continue to take them until a medical diagnosis of pregnancy has been established. This practice is intended to alter the body's acid-base balance and increase the chances of having a boy.
The characteristic of having a boy is not relevant in today's society, where gender equality is emphasized and the concept of having sons or daughters has no significance.
However, for many mothers, knowing whether the baby is a boy or a girl is still something they eagerly await.
Currently, hospitals have explicitly prohibited gender identification, which has led to numerous methods of guessing the sex of a baby being shared among the public and experienced individuals.
Below, the editor summarizes these judgment methods for everyone.
From the shape of a pregnant woman's belly to judge.
The pregnant woman's belly is pointed, it will be a boy.
A round belly, and you're having a girl.
2. Observe the changes in the skin and appearance of pregnant women.
If a pregnant woman's appearance becomes more beautiful and her skin smoother, she may be carrying a girl.
Conversely, if one's appearance changes, skin becomes rough, or acne develops on the face, these signs may indicate a boy child. This is a common method of determining whether a baby will be a boy or girl.
3. Based on changes in a pregnant woman's taste preferences, can you determine whether she is carrying a boy or a girl?
Some people believe that if a pregnant woman's taste changes, then the gender of her baby will also change.
The same taste as before, the gender is also the same. Otherwise, it's opposite.
4. Judging the gender of a baby based on the speed and strength of fetal heartbeats.
It is generally believed that when a fetus has a strong and slower heartbeat, there is a higher likelihood of being male.
Conversely, it is more likely that the child will be a girl if one is speculating based on symptoms or methods of guessing gender.
5. Pregnant mothers who are expecting a boy tend to eat their favorite foods with greater intensity.
The protein intake of pregnant women with a boy is 8% higher than that of those with a girl. The carbohydrate intake is 9% higher, and the fat intake is 11% higher in pregnant women with a boy.
Pregnant women with a boy baby eat more than they do when not pregnant, but not in different or peculiar ways. Instead, they just eat the same food that they like.
6. The testosterone secreted by the male fetus's testes, known as "testosterone," sends a signal to the mother that she must eat more.
Furthermore, although mothers carrying a male fetus tend to have heavier babies, they do not gain more weight during pregnancy than those carrying a female fetus. This suggests that the gender of the fetus does not affect a mother's weight.
