The likelihood of having a boy or girl is generally random, with a 50/50 chance. Some believe that timing intercourse close to ovulation may increase the chances of having a boy, as male (Y) sperm are thought to swim faster but live shorter. However, these methods lack scientific backing and do not guarantee results.
