Can I use ovulation to predict my baby's gender?

Technically speaking, you can use ovulation to predict your baby's gender. To be sure, using ovulation to predict your baby's gender has not been proven through scientific study, however. Still, there are compelling medical reasons why you may be able to, with some degree of accuracy, predict your baby's gender using ovulation. At a minimum, since there are only 2 genders to pick from, you will still have a 50% success rate with any method that you use to predict your baby’s gender.

To use ovulation to predict your baby's gender, you need to be certain about a couple of factors. First, you need to know pretty much exactly when you were going through ovulation. If you are off by a day, it could certainly affect the accuracy of your gender prediction. Second, you need to know exactly when conception occurred. Here again, if there is more than one possible day, it could very much affect whether or not you can predict your baby's gender.

To use ovulation to predict your baby's gender, look at the day of conception and the day of ovulation. If conception occurred within about two and a half days of ovulation, you can predict that your baby's gender will be male. If conception occurred prior to about two and a half days before ovulation, you can predict that your baby's gender will be female.

The reason that you can use ovulation to predict your baby's gender has to do with the nature of the different types of sperm. The sperm that will produce a baby girl tends to be stronger and live longer than the sperm that will produce a baby boy. On the other hand, the sperm that will produce a boy tends to swim faster, and to be more likely to beat the other sperm out in a race. So, it makes sense that if conception occurred more than 2 and a half days before ovulation, that the "boy" sperm would have died off, leaving the "girl" sperm to fertilize the egg. In contrast, if conception occurs closer to ovulation, those "boy" sperm are going to outrun the other sperm.
