There are two methods for ttc a boy: Modified swim up and TBM:
If you need a grantee of a boy you NEED to do high tech!
**When sucking up the little spermies and "implanting" them into the V, you need to do this slowly. Not just a quick squirt. The reasoning is that the force will break the tails off the sperm, thus paralyzing them from moving toward the goal. You can not damage sperm dna. This is safe for you and your baby.

Modified swim up for ttc a boy:
The theory of this method is Y sperm thrives on the perfect pH (8-9.9.) So if we provided that pH it will encourage the y sperm over the x sperm. Also that a small percentage of the X-bearing sperm are the fastest, followed by the Y-bearing sperm, then slowest are the majority of X-bearing sperm. Semen is placed in the bottom of a test tube and the sperm swim up wards through an egg white-like substance, to the top of the tube. By way of timing (first to arrive are discarded), the Y-bearing sperm (second to arrive) are selected and inserted with an instead cup.
-->-->
For this method you will need:-->-->
- Test tube -->-->
- Incubator (approx 99F) -->-->
- Microscope (best magnification between 100x - 300x) -->-->
- Instead cup -->-->
- 1 Pasteurized REAL chicken egg (use WHITES only) -->-->
- pre-seed (if your ew pH is to high) -->-->
- 2 x medicine droppers -->-->
- Cup or non-latex non-spermicide condom for dh's sample -->-->
- pH strips -->-->
- Baking soda douche + douche bottle or needleless syringe
Egg whites pH need to be 9-9.9. If it is more than 9.9 it will kill sperm. So please read the egg white mix recipe below. If it is less than 9 it will not work well to sort sperm. Buy several different brands of eggs to find which one has the best pH. To raise pH you wash egg shell and store in fridge for 2 weeks in a glass bowl. Warm egg whites have a higher pH. Do not warm egg whites in microwave. There is no other way to raise pH of egg whites (baking soda will not raise pH high enough, sorry)

Egg White Mix Recipe:-->-->
First check real EW pH. If it is less than 10 then you don’t need to do this. ….You can use preseed to lower pH to a 9. Add just one drop at a time and mix with egg white till the pH of this mixture be 9-9.9.
The pH of the egg whites is extremely important. If your egg whites don't have a pH between 9-9.9 then you either need to lower the pH (if it is a 10) or use a different egg ( if it is unpasteurized then pasteurize it at home)
-->-->
Baking Soda Douche Recipe: -->-->
Dissolve: 2 tablespoons of BAKING SODA + 1 liter of warm WATER. Let solution sit for 10 minutes before use. -->-->
The Method:-->-->
Step 1: Dh to DTD in a cup or condom.-->-->
Step 2: Place semen in bottom of test tube-note the measurement.-->-->
Step 3: Gently place an equal amount of warm egg white mixture on top of semen in test tube (ie, 2mls of egg white solution, if 2mls of semen). Place it in the middle of the test tube and do not touch the tip of the dropper to the semen. This should remain floating on top of semen.-->-->
Step 4: Place test tube in incubator at a 45 degree angle (temp in incubator should be approx 99F, you may have to put a light towel around base it to reach this temp but do NOT go over 100F as this will slow the sperm down). *Take note of time, or set a timer for 1 hour.-->-->
Step 5: Douche a small amount of the above Baking Soda + Water Recipe using a medicine dropper or douche bottle. or use bsfinger-->-->
Step 6: After 1 hour, use a medicine dropper to suck up a small portion (approx 20% or 0.4mls, if total was 2mls egg white used) off the TOP of test tube. Looking under the microscope, these should be the 'super-fast' X-bearing sperm (if no sperm are found in this very top, then take another portion until the fastest sperm are detected). Discard this portion.-->-->
Step 7: Using a different medicine dropper, suck up the next 'section' of mixture (rest of egg white mix). Looking under the microscope with one small drop, these sperm should appear fast (just use a little for the microscope.) These are majority Y-bearing sperm. Keep this portion. Only keep Egg white mix to insert, Semen will not be used.-->-->
Step 8: You may want to now double check that the last portion, which you should only have semen remaining, has the slowest sperm. Make sure you don't mix these up with the portion above! Discard these slow swimmers. -->-->
Step 9: Optional: Insert a small amount of EW to coat your cervix and surrounding area. This is highly recommended if there is a lack of ewcm. -->-->
Step 10: Gently transfer the sperm/egg white mix into the 'instead cup'. Secure the cup around your cervix (this can be left for up to 12 hours, then removed).
TBM for boy This method is for ttc a ds. The principle of this method is that the Y sperm thrive in an alkaline environment. By artificially creating this environment the theory is that the Y sperm will become more energized and strengthened by using the perfect pH. This will give the Y sperm an advantage over the X sperm.

- pH strips -->-->

First check real EW pH. If it is less than 10 then you don’t need to do this. ….Using a fork gently mix preseed with ew. pH of this mixture should be 9-9.9.

Baking Soda Douche Recipe: -->-->
Dissolve: 2 tablespoons of BAKING SODA + 1 liter of warm WATER. Let solution sit for 10 minutes before use.

The Method:-->-->
Step 1: Have dh ingest caffeine one hour before sample is given -->-->
Step 2: .Douche one hour before TBM-->-->
Step 3: . If no ewcm apply ew
Step 4: Dh to DTD in a cup or condom-->-->
Step 5. Place semen in bottom instead cup-->-->
Step 9: : Gently place an equal amount of egg white mixture on top of semen in instead cup. This should float on top of semen. If it does not then you need to mix the semen and ew together making sure to get all the semen mixed with all the ew.-->-->
Step 10 Put in instead cup and leave for 90 minutes. Try to O as often as possible before and after instead cup is inserted.
