Great "lay" interpretation (coming from another lay[wo]man) - it makes sense now! ^_^ And finally proves to the world that girls are tougher than boys!

Women who ate breakfast cereal were also more likely to have boys. <BR/><BR/>Researchers aren't saying that a dad's sperm doesn't determine its sex. What they think is that mothers may be able to favor the development of one sex infant rather than another. In IVF, for instance, high levels of glucose encourage the growth of male embryos and inhibit female embryos. <BR/><BR/>So yes --- the egg membrane can reject potential sperm suitors unless it's IVF and they do ICSI where hey inject sperm into the egg and then it's up to the embryologist to pick girl or boy sperm:)West Coast Divahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14869455386756512706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5337254678704520655.post-440741880394942932008-05-20T12:00:10.757-07:002008-05-20T12:00:10.757-07:00I love the new blog design! <BR/><BR/>Nice drawings too! <BR/><BR/> I had two boys and then two girls. i think I probably was eating better during the first to pregnancies, by the third and fourth just getting food down was an accomplishment!<BR/><BR/>Fun post!Laura@Storytellin' Mamahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04490636535435174412noreply@blogger.com
