You are more likely to have a boy anyway...

Chances of conceiving boy



Good news regarding your chances to conceive a baby boy: roughly 51% of all births are boys!

Around the world, at any given time, there's a universal and constant pattern with 51 to 54 boys born for each 50 girls born.
The ratio of 51% boys to 49% girls is also representative of overall US birth rates.

There are many theories about why there are slightly more boys born each year than girls.

Supposedly, this is nature's way of maintaining equilibrium, since more boys than girls die in infancy and a man's expected lifespan is less than a woman's.
Or, maybe that's simply because male-producing sperm is faster swimming than the female-producing sperm, more often winning the race to fertilize the egg and resulting in more male conceptions.
