What can I do to increase my chance of having a baby girl?
Despite the profusion of advice on the subject, there is nothing you can do to affect your chances of having a baby or a girl. It just depends on whether a sperm carrying a Y chromosome or one carrying an X chromosome penetrates the egg, and there is nothingyou can do to determine this. This is assuming you are aiming for a 'natural' conception, rather than one achieved through assisted conception.
X and Y sperm The diagram shows the penetration of two eggs by sperm containing either an X or a Y chromosome. The egg always has an X chromosome, so an X produces a girl, a Y sperm, a boy.
