Some future mothers and fathers would like to give birth to a boy or a girl. It is important for them to know whether it is possible to predict the sex of the unborn child. If possible, how to do it.
There are many calendars that supposedly allow predicting the sex of the unborn child, based on the dates of birth of the parents, their blood groups and other indicators. However, there is no scientific justification for the effectiveness of such theories.
To plan your baby's gender, you need to understand the process of conception. Fertilization can occur once during the menstrual cycle during ovulation. Ovulation usually occurs in the middle of the cycle. For example, if 28 days pass from the first day of your period to the next, ovulation occurs on the 14th day.
Sperm cells can be stored in a woman's body for up to 7 days. Consequently, conception can also occur if intercourse did not occur on the day of ovulation.
The male reproductive cell, which fertilized the egg, is responsible for the sex of the unborn child. The X chromosome leads to the conception of a girl, and the Y chromosome leads to a boy. Spermatozoa with the Y chromosome are faster and less tenacious than those with the X chromosome. Thus, the highest chance of conceiving a boy is to have intercourse on the day of ovulation. The earlier, before the middle of the cycle, intimacy occurs, the higher the likelihood of having a daughter.
This method increases the chance of predicting the sex of the unborn child, but does not give a 100% guarantee.
