I've heard some old beliefs that the timing of conception might influence the baby's gender. Is there any truth to the idea that a 'delayed' conception can lead to a specific gender?
Scientifically, the timing of conception has absolutely no role in deciding the baby's gender. It only depends on the chromosome from the father, so don't believe these old myths.
There is no scientific connection between delay in conceiving and the baby's gender. My baby was conceived after a year of trying and we got a beautiful, healthy boy.
Haha, delayed conception doesn't decide gender, biologically it is completely random! Otherwise I would have ordered one boy and one girl instead of ending up with twin boys!
I actually researched this and my gynac also confirmed that delayed conception does not affect chromosomes. The chance of having a boy or girl remains exactly 50-50.
It doesn't matter when you conceive, gender is purely random. Whether it's a boy or girl, once they become a naughty toddler, you won't even have time to think about this!
I am also trying to conceive and have heard many such old sayings. But I think gender is completely natural and we should just pray for a healthy baby.
Don't worry about these myths, gender is completely random. If your conception was delayed, just focus on regular doctor visits and getting your basic health checks done.
