Chromosome Y Won The Life Race

Dr Guna did an ultra sound and highlighted to me the little penis on the screen... "Maybe it's a boy!".

Ahh!.... chromosome Y won the battle.

Technical way to increase the chance of getting a boy / girl
My former boss, Sharon is a bio-chemical expert, you may really want to refer to her theory to enhance your chance of having a baby boy or girl.

  • Men produce 2 types of sperms, one carries chromosome Y i.e. the gene of male & the other X, i.e. the gene of female.
  • Y sperm is lighter, stronger, can swim faster but has a shorter life span - 3 days (Probably energy is exhausted during the life race).
  • X sperm is genetically "fatter", a slow swimmer but has a longer life span - 5 days.
Knowing such characteristics, you can count your ovulation day and "do business" accordingly. Ovulation normally happens around 12th day of your period (but you can buy test kit to monitor), so make love 4-5 days earlier will enhance the chance of X sperms meeting the egg. Vice versa, having sex close to your ovulation will likely to help Y sperms to win the battle.
