A member asked:

If i conceive 3 days before ovulation will it def be a girl?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

50/50 chance: It is the sperm that does the deed, not the day you conceive that determines the sex of the infant.There are many myths about positions, timing, etc and all are correct half the time. The same as flipping a coin.
