Has anyone with only one testicle had both a boy and girl child?

Answer 1

Yes - I am sure many men have. Tests have shown that both male and female sperm are found in both testicles. If you only have one testicle, your chances of conceiving both genders are exactly the same as if you had two testicles. Some men predominately produce single gender sperm. Tests can show that your sperm is made up of (for example) 19% female and 81% male. It is possible that you are producing a lot of one gender. Unless you wish to go through expensive procedures and genetically screen your embryos before implanting, you really can only hope. If you are trying for a certain gender, and you are willing to take a risk of conceiving a child not of that gender, here are some tips to increase your chances naturally.

• The older you are, statistically the more chance you have of conceiving a boy
• Men with higher fitness levels produce more female sperm
• Female sperm prefer heated environments more than male. Therefore if you want a girl, wear jocks for underwear. If you want a boy, wear boxer short for a cooler environment.
• Calcium produces more girls - if you want a girl, start drinking milk

Now that you are producing the desired levels of sperm, you need to time your conception right. Female sperm are larger and swim slower, but they last longer. Male sperm swim quickly, but die off sooner. Therefore, if the egg is found "further away", the males will die before reaching it leaving the females who are slower to fertilise. If the egg is "closer", the fast swimming males will reach the egg first and fertilise before the females. If you want a girl, have intercourse 2-3 days before ovulation so that the slow swimming female sperm have made it up along the fallopian tubes, close to where the egg is released. If you want a boy, have intercourse only on the day of ovulation so that the fast swimming males will make it to the egg first.
