Conceiving late! You might have a boy

Women conceiving late are more likely to bear a baby boy, a Dutch study shows.

The study led by epidemiologist Luc Smits of Maastricht University in Netherlands found that the chances of a woman having a baby boy was 58 per cent in a group of 500 women who took more than a year to conceive, BBC News reported.

But among the 4,800 women who conceived in less than a year, this fell to 51 per cent, it said.

For every additional year a couple tries to conceive a baby naturally, there is almost four per cent higher probability of having a boy.

The increased chance remains after allowing for confounding factors such as smoking, alcohol and variability in the menstrual cycle.
