Fortunately, that isn’t true. The odds of having a boy/girl are EXACTLY the same each time – and those odds are 50%. Oocytes only carry the X gene and 50% of sperm carry the X gene, the other half the Y gene. Two XX = girl, XY = boy. Thus the chances never change.

The situation of sex can be related to throwing a dice – the chances of throwing a 3 are exactly the same with each throw, and throwing a 3 previously doesn’t increase the chance of throwing a 3 again.

Maybe they’ll have a girl next time?? Although, I’ve heard that with 3 of the same gender, the bigger the chances are for more of the same… Anyway, they really do seem like a happy, close-knit family and I wish them the best on expanding their brood.

David was so sweet when talking about his kids on Ellen today. I loved how he kept referring to them as his beautiful boys.
