I sometimes hear from women who assume that their ovation schedules might have something to do with their future baby's gender. They worry that if they ovulate late or early in their cycle then this might make it harder to conceive or to get the gender that they want. And likewise, many think that if they ovulate "normally" or mid way through their cycle, then this will make success a little easier.

I heard from a woman who said "my ovulation is perfectly normal. In fact, I'm pretty sure that I ovulate almost perfectly mid way after my period, or around day 14. I've heard that this will make it easier to conceive. But does this make me more likely to conceive a girl or a boy?" There were plenty of assumptions in that statement. Unfortunately, not many of those assumptions were completely accurate. I will tell you why in the following article.

"Normal" Or "Regular" Ovulation Mid Way Through Your Cycle Can Make Planning Easier, But It Doesn't Have Many Implications On Baby Gender: I will freely admit that women who ovulate mid way through their cycle can have an easier time executing their conception. That's because they can plan ahead of time because they can be pretty sure as to when their most fertile days are going to be. But even when you are less regular and when you aren't sure about approaching ovulation, you can still use an ovulation predictor until you get a positive response. This certainly doesn't mean that your conception won't be as successful as that of a woman with a more regular cycle. You have just a good of a chance for a positive outcome. Bit you'll just have to be more vigilant about pinpointing the correct day. This will take a little more work sometimes, but it's not by any means impossible.

However, neither of these scenarios favors one gender over another. What determines baby gender is whether an X (girl producing) or Y (boy producing) sperm chromosome fertilizes the egg. Many factors can make an X fertilization more likely, like early conception, shallow sexual positions, and an acidic vaginal environment. Likewise, late conception, deep sexual positions and an alkaline vaginal environment make an Y chromosome fertilization more likely.

But notice that I said late and early conception, not late or early ovulation. These truly are two very different things. Whether your ovulation happens early or late in your cycle doesn't have a lot of bearing on your baby's gender. One thing will affect your baby's gender is your ability to conceive either before or after ovulation, depending on which you want. For example, if you want a girl, you should conceive in the days before ovulation. And for a boy, you should conceive in the days after it. Now is this process easier if you ovulate regularly and mid way through your cycle? Yes, having an easier time with predictable ovulation is certainly possible because it makes things more predictable and gives you an easier time with your planning.

But with that said, women who aren't as regular and who do not ovulate mid way through their cycle can certainly still plan for their baby's gender. With a good saliva ovulation predictor, even irregular women can see as their ovulation approaches and even passes. So to answer the question posed, regular or normal ovulation mid way through your cycle doesn't really have an effect on your baby's gender unless you use this predictability to help you conceive at the right time. And even women who aren't so regular are still able to do this with the correct tools. What really makes you more likely to conceive the gender you want is your timing, your PH, and the sexual positions that you use.
