Family history of boys. Can I even have a girl?
Hello all,
I am planning to sway later this year. I am pregnant with my third boy. Our family history is as so
my husband and I- 3 boys
My husbands brother (his only siblings)- 3 boys
My husbands dad has two siblings, a boy and girl, however the girl is infertile (i dont know why).
Im wondering if it might be that my husbands girl sperm maybe have a genetic defect and therefore the boy sperm are more successful? So therefore, is it even possible for me to conceive a girl?
its not that long of a history, but I dont know beyond that if there were any healthy girls in the family.
Thanks for your thoughts on this!

Yes absolutely you can have a girl! Read Atomic's essay http://genderdreaming.com/forum/gend...make-boys.html
FWIW my husband's family is very heavily female but we have three boys.

I don't really have any insight but I just wanted to say I'm glad there's someone out there who feels that way. My husband always gets upset when I say I think his family can only produce boys, we only have one child right now (a boy) but I feel like we are just prone to having boys because my husband has 5 brothers and no sisters!!

I have 6 boys. Hubby is one of 3 boys. His brother has a boy. His dad is an only child but he had a sister who was stillborn.
The generation before that was 3 boys, 6 girls. I haven't looked beyond that.
I feel very much like I can only have boys. I know theres a girl in there somewhere i just need science to make sure it happens ive often thought there may be a genetic issue but very unlikely any Australian clinic would look into it.

Hi,
Following... I feel like some of us are more prone to have boys - not that we can't have girls but it might be in us to have more boys than girls. Just a thought!

My husband comes from a long line of boys - he's one of 3 and his dads one of 5 (there was a girl in there but she was sadly stillborn). His brothers have girls, so maybe it is just chance.. but part of me feels like there is something genetic there.. hormone levels or something??

Following just because I find these things interesting. I’m from a very girl heavy family, and so is my husband. We have two boys, not sure what our third will be. But it seems like we are ‘evening’ things out with our boys. My sister also recently had a boy.

Swaying Advice Coach
Every family can have both boys and girls. If there were any family that could only have boys or girls (but especially boys!) they would have died out a long time ago. The first time there was a war that killed off many males - which happened countless times since history began - that family would have died out when the males died out. Mother Nature likes to hedge her bets and everyone can have boys or girls as the environment indicates depending on which has a better shot of surviving to adulthood to pass down genes to future generations.
I really urge everyone reading this thread to take a moment and read these links. I know many people won't click on links but these are really very informative and will help explain why this is really not a thing.
