For many people, the impetus for getting married isn't just wanting to spend a lifetime together, but the desire to create a family. Wanting to have children and getting pregnant can be two very different things, however, as is so often the case when dreams and reality come together. Ceasing birth control as well as a number of different fertility issues can lengthen the time until conception. Another issue that some families with children are discovering is that, no matter how hard they try, they just keep having one gender.

That's not to say that parents don't love the children they have, they most certainly do! It's just human nature to want what we can't have and father's with a house full of daughters will invariably wonder about having a son. Mothers wrangling a house full of rowdy boys will feel the same way.

Sex selection, however, is illegal in a variety of countries because of the moral and ethical implications. Choosing your child is a slippery slope of which we have seen the effects of in countries like India and China with their surplus of male children.

These ethical and moral issues are behind the restrictions against letting couples go into a doctor's office to have sex selection done. That doesn't mean that there aren't loads of urban legends and folklore from all over the world that espouses natural techniques to get the baby you want. The advice can be ridiculous at times especially in relation to food, like having women eat chocolate to have a girl.

That doesn't mean that people don't try this advice, after all, they have nothing to lose. Natural and effective advice, in regards to helping you shoot for one particular gender, does exist and the Plan My Baby Program is on the forefront of this movement. It has been on a number of famous news programs and has been reviewed in print as well.

Rather than being a collection of urban legends, this program is formulated through tried and tested steps. It's important to realize that it isn't about changing what you eat for a few days or having your husband wear boxers for a week. Real change comes from gradual changes and a commitment to staying on a program.

It isn't just the word of mouth that is making couples try this program out, it's the fact that all of the advice is natural. Parents are afraid to use drugs or surgical intervention to get what they want. Drugs especially are hard to accept since studies still haven't been able to peg the long term effects.

This book was created by a former midwife who has worked with hundreds of mothers over her career. One of the issues that she has witnessed is the unnecessary rise in postnatal depression. Depression issues can be dangerous to a mother and her children, but that has not stopped feelings of inadequacy and failure from creeping up on mothers who have had multiple children of the same gender.

Through the purchase of this book you'll gain a more thorough understanding of conception itself and the mechanisms of X and Y sperm. Also, understanding vaginal pH and its effect on gender selection is another important facet that most people don't understand or even think about.

If you're wanting a boy or a girl to add to your family, or have preferences on how yours should start, there is no reason not to give this program a try. Don't get pulled into urban legends when you can get information that is tried, tested, and true.
