According to medical science, timing sex close to ovulation doesn't reliably influence gender, despite old theories like the Shettles method. My gynecologist explicitly told me that these methods are not scientifically proven. It's best to focus on general fertility health.

Actually, there is a common myth that sesame seeds cause miscarriage, but a tiny amount in food is completely harmless. However, drinking sesame seed water or consuming them in large amounts, especially in the first trimester, is not recommended. Just check with your gynac once to be completely tension-free.

Yes, definitely possible! Active sperm can easily hang out in precum. If your dates are missed, just grab a home test kit to be sure. 😊

It’s basically a simple procedure where they take the husband's sperm, wash it in the lab to select the best ones, and put them directly into the uterus using a tiny catheter. It's done right around your ovulation to increase the chances.
