49 views
Conceiving a boy is influenced by multiple factors, including timing of intercourse and sperm characteristics. Male sperm (Y-chromosome) are faster but less resilient than female sperm (X-chromosome). Timing intercourse closer to ovulation can increase chances as the faster Y-sperm reach the egg quickly. However, predicting exact ovulation and other biological variables make it inherently challenging. Understanding and tracking your cycle meticulously can offer the best chances but doesn't guarantee success.
