Uh, boy sperm is the only type of sperm there is. Girls have eggs (ova).
The person who wrote, "Uh, boy sperm is the only type of sperm there is. Girls have eggs (ova)," did not take the time to read or understand the question.According to Dr. Shettles & many others, boy sperm live longer than girl sperm. This is why they say that if you want to conceive a boy, you have sex closer to the time of ovulation than if you want to conceive a girl.Hope that helps!
To clarify, 'boy sperm', meaning 'sperm carrying a Y chromosome that, if taking part in fertilisation, will lead to a male offspring' will have a shorter lifespan than a 'girl sperm', which carries an X chromosome. It is important to note that while boy sperm have shorted lives, they are also faster swimmers, therefore the chance of conceiving a male or female child is relatively equal.

When Sperm fertilize the egg no other sperm can penetrate?
When the sperm penetrates the egg, the surface of the egg changes so that no other sperm can enter. At the moment of fertilization, the baby's genetic makeup is complete, including whether it's a boy or girl. Creative Biogene
What are the X and Y chromosomes?
Everybody has 23 pairs of chromosomes, half they get from their mother and half from their father. The 23rd chromosome you have contains the information of what sex you are. If you are a girl you will have a X chromosome from your mother and and X chromosome from you father. If you are a boy it means you will have a X chromosome from your mother and a Y chromosome from your father. When a sperm cell fertilises an egg the sperm will either be carrying the X chromosome from the male or a Y. If the sperm is carrying a X it will pair with the X chromosome from the mother making the baby a girl. If the sperm is carrying a Y chromosome it will pair with the X chromosome from the mother making the baby a boy! This means it is all down to the father whether the baby is a boy or a girl.
Do male or female sperm swim faster?
First of all, females don't HAVE sperm cells, they have eggs instead. Second, females are BORN with eggs already inside them whereas males produce new sperm every day, therefore it takes 9 months for eggs to be MADE and a few weeks for them to MATURE. Male sperm only takes 1 day.
What a sperm cell of ovum is called?
There's no such thing. The sperm cell comes from a boy. Ovum is another word for egg cell which is in a girl. When a sperm cell finds an "ovum" it fertilizes it and it travels to the uterus to develop eventually into a baby.
How is a baby sexs determine?
It's determined by the genetic chromosome of the sperm. Women have only one X chromosome in the egg (both egg and sperm have 23 pairs of chromosomes, which unite to form 46). On the other hand, men have either X or Y chromosomes. If an egg (X chromosome) joins with an X chromosome sperm, the result will be a girl. If an egg (X chromosome) joins with a Y chromosome sperm, the result will be a boy. In other words: the guy determines the sex of a baby :)

Do male sperm cells swim faster?
Studies show that the sperm that produce female offspring (aka girl babies) swim more slowly than the sperm that produce male offspring, but they are also hardier. This means that "boy sperm" swim fast but die faster and "girl sperm" swim more slowly but last longer. The "Shettles Method" says that to increase your chances of having a girl, have sex 3 days before you ovulate and to have a boy have sex the day before you ovulate. The theory being that if you have sex earlier, only the "girl sperm" will survive OR if you have sex later, the "boy sperm" will outpace the "girl sperm."
