In this day and age, some people still argue if it is at all possible to choose the gender of your baby.

Of course it is possible!

Science has found ways to virtually guarantee you the conception of baby of a preferred gender... if you're willing to endure some very invasive medical procedures - and you're able to pay - that is!

In this article, however, we're going to talk about completely natural, safe and simple ways to conceive a baby girl!

Although there is a myriad of old wives' stories and anecdotes about how to conceive a baby girl, these 3 ways are standing above the rest!

1. Know when is the right time to conceive a baby girl.

What: Chances of conceiving a baby girl greatly increase when conception happens 3 – 4 days before ovulation.

Why? Sperm carrying girl-producing chromosome live longer than the boy-producing sperm – thus they will outlive the latter when the time to fertilize the egg comes.

How to do it: In order to conceive a baby girl, have intercourse a few days prior to ovulation.

What will you need: A way to track when your ovulation is due. If you're not comfortable with methods such as charting basal temperature and the like, ask for ovulation predictor kit in your pharmacy.

2. Know how to conceive a baby girl.

What: Yes, we're talking about that three letter word;) So, which is the best position to conceive a baby girl? Any position that will result in depositing the sperm as far away from cervix is optimal.

Why? Remember when we said that girl-producing sperm live longer than boy-producing sperm? Since "girl sperm" are more like marathon runners, and "boy sperm" are more like sprinters, there's a greater chance that "girl sperm" will survive that long and hard journey and eventually meet the egg.

How to do it: If you want to conceive a baby girl, make love in a missionary position, or any other position where penetration is shallow.

What will you need: ... oh, but seriously;) Are additional explanations really needed? I think you can answer this by yourself;) Or, like Nike says: Just do it!;)

3. Diet to conceive a baby girl.

What: What you eat while trying for a girl can significantly upper your odds of conceiving your little baby girl!

Why? Eating foods high in magnesium is said to help you conceive a baby girl. While this sounds like an old wives' tale, it doesn't hurt to try, does it? Furthermore, some foods will make your reproductive tract more acidic, which in itself makes a friendlier environment for sperm carrying girl-producing chromosomes.

How to do it: If you're trying for a girl, your daily diet should include lots of green vegetables - which are rich in magnesium. To make your vagina more acidic, increase your intake of acid producing foods, such as meats and sweets.

What will you need: To test your acidity, you can use vaginal testing strips, available in most health stores. And, when shopping for groceries, don't forget some whole grains, corn, and - a chocolate;)
