Does posterior placenta mean boy?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
No, the position of placenta doesn't determine gender of a baby.

Correlation Between Placental Position and Baby's Gender:
- There is no scientifically proven correlation between having a posterior placenta and the baby's gender being male.
- The baby's gender is determined by chromosomes at conception.
-
Placental Position:
- Placental location (anterior, posterior, fundal, etc.) varies naturally among pregnancies.
- It is influenced by factors related to implantation and uterine anatomy.
-
Ultrasound and Gender Prediction:
- Ultrasound can identify placental position but cannot predict gender based on it.
Recommendation:
- If you have concerns about your pregnancy or placental position, consult your healthcare provider for personalized information and reassurance.

I got my period on May 30th and was told to take Ovral L. When exactly should I start taking it, and is it okay to use if I'm thinking about getting pregnant in the future?
If you want to take Ovral L for contraception, start it on the first day of your period (May 30th), or as advised by your doctor. If you are planning for conception, you should stop taking Ovral L and give your body some time to adjust. Consult with your doctor about the best time to start trying to conceive after stopping birth control.

I'm trying to understand if the semen is actually entering during intercourse because my wife says she doesn't feel it inside, and sometimes it comes out. She's also experiencing some pain when I try to insert it. How can we tell if the semen is actually getting in?
To improve the chances of conception, you can try using a sperm-friendly lubricant to help the semen stay inside the vagina. Additionally, you can try different positions such as placing a pillow under your wife's hips after intercourse to help tilt the pelvis and encourage the semen to travel towards the cervix. It's also important to ensure that both you and your wife are in good health, eating a balanced diet, and avoiding substances like tobacco and excessive alcohol which can affect fertility. If you continue to have concerns, it may be helpful to consult with a fertility specialist for further guidance.
