What Factors Increase the Chances of Having a Boy Over a Girl?
Explore timing and scientific insights on influencing your baby's gender, focusing on factors that may slightly increase the likelihood of having a boy.
Video transcript
There's no guaranteed way to influence the sex of your baby. However, some studies suggest that timing intercourse closer to ovulation may slightly increase the likelihood of having a boy, due to the faster speed of Y-chromosome (male) sperm. Keep in mind that these methods are not scientifically proven and achieving a 50/50 chance is still the most likely outcome.
