Hi all, am new to this =) I am 10 weeks pregnant with number three,and am curious to know if anyone has had an experience similar to me (or know of anyone). I have two beautiful sons with my fiancé, he also has a daughter from a teenage fling, so am busy playing the gender guessing game! Obv would be thrilled with a healthy baby any gender, but want to know my chances of having a baby girl! I'm not sure what Statistic's apply to our situation lol, he can obviously father a girl, but can I only have sons?!

Each pregnancy has a 50% chance either way, all things being equal, so it's really random which you'll have! Anecdotally, if you do the deed close to ov then you're a bit more likely to have a boy, and if it's a day or so before then more likely to have a girl, but it's pretty random. Most families I know with 4 kids have 3 of one type and 1 of the other, so generally the more kids you have the more likely you'll have at least one of each sex! ------------- Me: 35, PCOS, endo, DH: 34, severe MFI 6+ yrs TTC#2 M/C 2012, clomid 2013, IVM 2014, IVF 2015, M/C 2015 2016 FET#1- BFP - MMC - Emergency D&C FET#2 - BFN Jul 16 - stage 3 endo removed.

It is the sperm that fertilizes the egg that will determine the sex of your baby. Some sperm carry the X-chromosome and some sperm carry the Y-chromosome. If an X-chromosome-carrying sperm fertilizes the egg, the baby will be a girl. If a Y-chromosome-carrying sperm fertilizes the egg, the baby will be a boy. So our eggs dont play a role in which gender you get! |

Thanks for the replies!! I know eventually I will know for sure, just can't stop wondering!! Lol. I have heard that the women's PH levels can sway gender also, I know lots of families that had boy boy girl and lots that had 3boys! I wanted to try gender sway after our wedding but got blessed with this we surprise instead =) last baby for us! We will know soon enough! |
