Moon phase gender prediction

How to conceive a boy already touched on astrological methods to conceive a boy baby some time ago.

It may be true that the phase in which the Moon was when the baby is conceived influences baby's gender!

It all depends on the nature of the sign in which the Moon was at the moment of conception: was it male of female?

The baby will be a boy if conceived when the Moon is in a male sign during your personal Moon phase return. Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius and Aquarius are considered as male signs.

Some claim that combining this gender prediction astrological knowledge with lunar cycle fertility techniques you can predict baby gender with 70% accuracy!

Why this technique doesn't work 100%?

There's a caveat to this gender prediction that consists of not knowing when the conception actually took place. Male partner's sperm may live for up to 60-70 hours, and it may take varying time to travel to the woman's egg. We can't tell when exactly insemination occurred!

Let's say you want to conceive a boy. You have intercourse with your partner when the Moon is in the last degrees of the Aries (male sign!) but conception may happen when the Moon is already in the next sign, which is the female sign of Taurus.

To get around this it is best to have intercourse 12-24 hours before the recommended date to conceive a boy.

That's why this gender prediction technique is - although useful - not right all the time. But then, few are anyway!

These Moon phase and gender prediction techniques are used with a high rate of success by Francesca Naish in Australia and E.R. Schweighart at his Clinic Astra International in Vienna, Austria. At the Bratislava clinic of Gynecology they tested it with a success rate of 98%, based on 8000 women who wanted a boy baby only.

You may notice that this astrological notion of Lunar fertility cycles doesn't correspond well with conventional scientifically endorsed women's fertility cycle that is exclusively menstrual.

If we have only one fertility cycle, it means we have only one ovulation window and only one chance a month to get pregnant. 

Lunar phase fertility cycle on the contrary asserts that we have multiple fertile windows in any given month.

Any scientific proof to support such unconventional claims? In 2003, a Canadian research team from the University of Saskatchewan found evidence that suggests that astrology is maybe really onto something.

In response to hormone surges, women experience two to three periods of follicular development each month, though only one egg is selected for ovulation, they discovered.

That basically corresponds with the astrological notions of Lunar fertility cycles. Or, at least strongly suggests that woman can get pregnant on any time of month, no matter where she is in her ovulatory cycle. In other words, ovulation may occur spontaneously ("intercourse accelerating ovulation").
