 [ Symptoms ] if you do sex every alternate day on the week of your ovulation will you be pregnant with a boy  hi my doc told me to try to every alternate day after 12 days from 1st date your period started  i am want to get pregnant with a boy and i know if you have sex on the day of ovulation your chances of having a boy increases coz there is a chance the y chrome will get attached to the egg as i dont know the exact day of my ovulation and if i have sex every other day from day 12 is there a chance i get pregnant with a boy  thanks [ Disease ] that is silly advice but you do have a 5050 chance of having a boy or girl no matter when you have sex every day or every other day chromosomes are inside the sperm and egg the y does not really attach to anything the fastest sperm is often the one that impregnates you so if you want a boy all you can do is hope that the sperm swims like michael phelps there are many old wive is tales about techniques to improve your chances of having a boy or girl but in the end those techniques are no better than a coin toss if you get what you want you will praise the method you used if you do not you will not recommend it to anyone so let nature make the decision for you and do not stress out about the sex of a baby that has not been conceived yet just hope for a happy healthy baby
