Weird question...

Marissa

I was once told that if you're on top then you have a higher chance of getting pregnant with a boy...

Is there any tricks to getting pregnant with a certain gender?

I already have 2 girls and I really want a boy.

My midwife’s assistant used to do statistics for things like that. She said that girl sperm swim slower than boy, so having sex on ovulation day is more likely to produce a boy, having sex a couple days before ovulation then abstaining is more likely to produce a girl

I wanted a boy too. I did some research and found out that once the egg is released ( ovulation reaches its peak) then it’s a better chance for a male sperm to fertilize it but no sex in the days before that. I tried it, used ovulation tests and it worked. My boy is 5 months old now.

Ultimately the fastest sperm wins and only so much you can do to control that. Don’t know if this really increases your chances or not but I’ve heard that female sperm are typically stronger than the males so if you track your cycle and have sex the day you ovulate then you atleast in theory give yourself a higher chance or one of the little dudes winning out. Can’t hurt to try right

We had sex at different times in different positions each time we conceived and yet here I am with all boys.My oldest I only had sex 1 time and it was 2-3 days before ovulation. - 10yr old BoyMy middle I had sex 4 days before ovulation, the day before ovulation, the day of ovulation and 2 days after ovulation. - 2yr old BoyThis baby I had sex every single day from CD 10-18 (ovulated on CD16) and he’s a Boy due in May!!

It doesn’t make a difference. The sperm decide for you
