just curious from which week the gender is actually decided. not asking to find out, i know thats not allowed here, just wanted to understand the science side of it na.
Arre beta, gender toh bhagwan ne pehle hi decide kar diya hota hai jab rooh aati hai bacche mein. Hum toh bas shubh kaam karte hain aur uski raksha karte hain. Ladka ho ya ladki, ghar mein khushiyaan hi aani chahiye. Ache se khaana khao bas aur apne health ka dhyaan rakho.
For IVF, sometimes they do PGT (Preimplantation Genetic Testing) where they can know the gender before embryo transfer, but that's for specific medical reasons, not routine. Naturally, it's set at conception. But we focus on healthy growth and a strong heartbeat, right? Every baby is a blessing.
The baby's gender is actually determined at the moment of conception itself, depending on whether the sperm that fertilizes the egg carries an X or a Y chromosome. We usually find out around the 18-20 week anomaly scan, though ethically, doctors in India don't reveal it due to legal restrictions.
The gender is decided right when the egg and sperm meet, at conception itself. It's truly a miracle how quickly everything is determined in that moment. We can't really find out here in India legally, but honestly, a healthy baby is all that matters after what I've been through.
