There can be many reasons why a couple wants to choose the gender of their baby.

There may be reasons related to the potential health of the newborn, depending on the sex, or they may wish to have a small family and only want one boy and one girl.

Possibly, as in my case, you may already have a tribe of boys only and you would love to have a girl to complete your family. Whatever the reason, it is very important to make sure that you will be extremely happy with your newborn, regardless of whether or not you get the sex you are looking for.

There are many different techniques and various theories for choosing the sex of your baby, and one is the effect of caffeine on the conception of a baby.

Now I must first emphasize that the caffeine theory when trying to choose the sex of your baby is directed at the father, it is not recommended that a woman drink coffee or other beverages that are high in caffeine, as this prevents female fertility.

Even one or two cups a day is reported to reduce the chances of conception by 10 percent.

To conceive a baby, the egg must be fertilized by the ‘Y’ chromosome, which is faster and more active than the ‘X’ chromosome or the girl chromosome. Although both types will be sped up by the father ingesting caffeine before intercourse, it will give the boy’s sperm a boast and a better chance of reaching the egg, as they normally tire quickly and do not travel the distance.

Studies have also shown that caffeine will actually increase a man’s sperm production rate more than a woman’s sperm production.

To apply this theory, the father should drink a couple of cups of strong coffee between 15 and 30 minutes before having sex. If you don’t like drinking coffee, other forms of caffeine are fine, for example strong black tea.

Note that a high caffeine food or drink is not recommended for long-term use.

This is just a small theory on how to choose the sex of your baby, and although no natural technique can guarantee you the sex of your choice, it is possible to increase your chances of planning your baby’s sex naturally and have up to 90% of probability of having the sex of your choice.

Good luck!
