Trying to Get Pregnant

Thought it was the opposite...

So I missed the "Sizing up sperm" last night but wanted to see when else it was on next so I looked it up and it said next sunday (if anyone was wondering) but on the facts it said

"X and Y sperm are produced in almost equal numbers; girls (X) are thought to be faster, but boys (Y) live longer, so the race is wide open."

I always thought it was the opposite... has anyone heard anything about it?


Re: Thought it was the opposite...

  • Nope that's what I've heard.

    I've heard the opposite; I believe from multiple sources. I'm fairly confident that the girls live longer and the boys go faster.

  • I think whoever added it to the websitegot confused and typed it wrong.  I have always heard the opposite and on the program lastnight they stated the opposite too.  I remember they said it because I remarked to DH that they had it wrong on their website.

    I've always heard the opposite too.  boys are faster - girls live longer.

  • Pretty sure it is opposite.
  • I think on the show they said the opposite....girls longer, boys faster.  And if you watched they had the boy sperms ahead as they were running towards the cervix.

  • That's interesting that it's similar to stats on adult males having a shorter life expectancy than women too. 

    Makes me think of that "Waiting on a Woman" country song.

    Yeah, I've always heard the opposite too. What they have completely goes against the theory of the Shettles method where you would have sex closer to O for a boy because they are faster but die quicker.

     

    This exactly.  And I have been teaching Child Development for quite some time.

  • The website is wrong, its a typo and I contacted the website folks about it last week. ?They did get it right on the show last night, it is the opposite.

  • I think they must of wrote it wrong. In the show i'm pretty sure they said girls live longer but boys swim faster.
