YOGYAKARTA Many couples try various ways to get pregnant with boys, such as having sex on ovulation day, dieting, and applying sex positions that allow deep penetration. However, what if you are positive for pregnancy but want a boy? Can the type of darkening of the baby be changed after conception? To find out the answer, see the explanation below.

Quoted from Healthline, the gender of the baby will usually be known at 18-21 weeks of pregnancy through ultrasound examinations (ultrasonography).

Even so, the sex of the baby has actually been determined since conception. The factors that affect the type of darkening of the baby are the chromodynamic type of a male sperm that meets the chromosomes of a woman's egg cells.

Please note, the sex chromodynamics in men is XY, while in women is XX.

At the time of fertilization, sperm carrying X or Y chromodynamics will meet egg cells that always carry X chromodynamics. If sperm produces eggs carrying Y chromodynamics, then the baby's gender is male (XY).

Meanwhile, if the sperm that produces eggs carries X-chromodynamics, then the baby's gender is a woman (XX).

Thus, changing gender after conception or pregnancy has occurred is impossible. Because, when you have tested positive for pregnancy, sperm cells and eggs each have brought chromodynamics or genetic material each containing information on the sex of the fetus, so that the fetus XX and XY is formed.

From the explanation above, it can be concluded that after testing positive for pregnancy, there is no more way to change the sex of the baby.

If you and your partner want a baby boy, do the following tips before conception:

To increase the chances of getting pregnant with boys, you are advised to apply a special diet while running a pregnancy program.

A study in 2008 found that women who consumed high foods of sodium and potassium had a higher chance of getting pregnant with boys.

In this regard, some of the recommended foods are tomatoes, potatoes, carrots, mushrooms cabbage, corn, spinach, avocado, fish, papaya, and semagka.

Apply this tip at least one month before running the pregnancy program. Consult with the doctor so that the food for the pregnancy program consumed is more appropriate.

One method that is believed to increase the chances of having a boy is the Shettles method, which was developed by Landrum B. Shettles around 1960.

In his research, Shettles studied sperm to find out factors that could affect its speed. He considers the relationship time, position, and level of pH body fluids to see how they affect the baby's gender.

The main points of the Shettles method include:

According to Shettles, this method has a success rate of up to 75 percent, and many people claim to have succeeded in determining the gender of their baby in this way.

However, some of the old studies found that dealing with 2'3 days after ovulation might not have resulted in pregnancy. Another study that is also obsolete mentions that the chromodynamics of X and Y does not actually have a significant shape difference as the Shettles believe.
