A member asked:

Can i plan for my babies gender, through ovulation, ph testing, diet etc?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Gender Selection: No. The only way to guarantee a baby's gender is to do in vitro fertilization and then test the gender of each embryo prior to implantation. You can try to filter sperm based on weight to select a gender but this method is not fool proof. There is no way to naturally encourage one gender over the other.

I had protected sex 11 days ago. I am now about 15 days post ovulation and am a few days late. I tested twice and both negative. But am I testing too early? I went through a very stressful day last week and I caused me to break out. Could that be it?
