For those couples who are trying to conceive a boy the chances of them having one are much higher than they think. When it comes to statistics a couple has a much higher chance of having a boy than they are a girl. However, by learning about when is the best time to conceive a boy can further increase these chances for them.

As couples will soon discover there are various techniques that they can use which will increase their chances further of having a boy instead of a girl. In this article we take a quick look at two such techniques which have proven popular with couples before when trying to have a boy rather than a girl and although they both show particular times when it is best to conceive a boy you will see that the differ somewhat.

Method 1 - The Shettles Method

With this particular technique the aim is to allow the sperm carrying the Y chromosomes in it to reach the egg before the one carrying the X chromosomes can. As the sperm carrying the Y chromosomes move much faster than the sperm carrying the X chromosomes this needs to be taken into consideration when trying to conceive a boy.

In Dr Shettles book "How to Choose the Sex of Your Baby: The Method Best Supported by Scientific Evidence," he recommends that couples have intercourse within the 24 hour period when a woman's has begun to ovulate and also that it shouldn't take place 12 hours after her ovulation period has ceased.

Along with him giving a specific time period in which to have intercourse he feels that by the man penetrating deeper into the woman will enable their sperm to be deposited closer to the cervix. This means that the more aggressive sperm that contains the Y chromosomes has in fact a head start in the fertilization process.

Method 2 - The Whelan Method

This particular technique was devised by a Dr Whelan in order to rebut Dr Shettles technique. With her technique Dr Whelan feels that for a couple to increase their chances of conceiving a boy they need to have intercourse during the very early part of a woman's monthly cycle. Research carried out in to this technique has found that 68% of the time couples using this one were able to conceive the boy that they wanted.

There are many various opinions and techniques that people will suggest to couples about when is the best time to conceive a boy. Certainly it is these couples which have tried them and found them to provide them with the results that they wanted. Some couples make changes to their diet and incorporate more salty snacks and red meat into it. While other couples who are trying to have a baby boy will get the men to drink coffee prior to them making love.
