Can We Really Choose Our Baby's Gender?
Posted: 06-07-06 03:12am

I was watching that show "strictly sex" and they said that boy sperm swim very fast, but only a short distance. Girl sperm swim very slow, but they can go a very long distance.

So if you want a boy, try for it right before your period, so the egg will be closer and the boys will get there first.


If you want a girl, try for it just as you ovulate, so the egg will be further away and only the girls will make it up that far.

Anyone know anything about this?

No its not true lol. Its like old wives tales...If you did go with that theory and if it does happen its probibly just a conicidence. Its about the genetics of the man and woman. Time and temperature and old wives tales will not decide if you get a girl or boy. China is trying to though! :d
