Will I Have A Boy Or A Girl?


We hear many different theories from our friends about how to make sure you have a boy or girl, but here is an article that has a little different twist to it!

In an article written in Medical News Today, researchers looked at a change that has been occurring over the last few decades related to the ratio of boys to girls born each year.  Around the world there are consistently more boys than girls born, however in industrialized countries the gap between the number of boys and girls born is closing.  A professor of reproductive epidemiology in Sweden began to wonder if there were factors that were causing the change in numbers.

One thing he found, was that mothers who gained weight between their first and second pregnancy were more likely to give birth to boys. - He cautions folks not to intentionally gain weight in hopes of having a boy though. :)

Why he wondered?  Since his findings were consistent among many countries including Canada, Denmark, England, Germany, Japan and the United States, it couldn’t be concluded this trend could be blamed on the obesity problem here in the United States.  Also, the findings didn’t seem to change when factoring in obstetric complications, maternal smoking, the age of the parent, the total number of years between the first and second pregnancy or the sex of the first born child.

Note that you are most likely to get pregnant if you time your lovemaking to occur on the days right before - and on - your ovulation date. Keep in mind that the projected ovulation date above is simply a “best guess” estimate based on your cycle date information. The most accurate way to pinpoint your most fertile time is through the use of urine-based ovulation tests or with a fertility monitor. We have partnered with Early-Pregnancy-Tests.com, the Internet’s leading supplier of preconception products since 2001, to offer low-cost, FDA-approved pregnancy and ovulation tests – with free same-day shipping.

 

Now that you’ve calculated your ovulation date using our ovulation calculator, we have a number of other helpful tools you can use to help increase your chances of conceiving.

 

  • Create your own personalized ovulation calendar! You can even provide an email address so that you receive email alerts of your most fertile days, when you can begin testing for pregnancy, and more.
     

  • Create your own personalized fertility chart! This is a highly accurate way to pinpoint your ovulation date that relies primarily on basal temperature charting. (Visit Early-Pregnancy-Tests.com for an accurate, inexpensive basal thermometer.)
     

  • Connect with others at our online community! If you have questions about trying-to-conceive – or if you just want to vent a bit – we have a wonderful, vibrant community of people who’d just love to hear from you.
