A member asked:

Is it medically true that baby which conceive few days before period start will be boy and the baby which conceive just after period will be girl?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: There is no evidence whatsoever that the day of conception has any link to a greater or lesser chance of having one sex over another. This is a longstanding "old wives tale.".
