Is it true you have to be ovulating to have a boy or near?
5 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Yes: You have to be ovulating in order to get pregnant. The sperm fertilizes the egg and then you will have an embryo, either boy or girl.

Girls and boys: You have to be ovulating to have a boy or a girl. Timing does not affect gender chance, that's 100% myth. Good luck!

Yes: You have to ovulate to have a boy... Or a girl. Ovulation releases an egg from the ovary, without which pregnancy is impossible. Most women ovulate about 14 days before their period, and are most fertile just after for about 5-6 days.
