Possible to test for x or y sperm?
I suggest consulting a genetics counselor. Genetics can cause skewed sex ratio in offspring, but 3 of 3 children being female is not all that unlikely. Does the mother's family run to females? Eg, several generations in which all children are female or, if there are male children too, the males are not healthy? what would the mothers history of girls have anything to do with it? It is the Male that determined the sex. Tori |

It is the Male that determined the sex. sure it could there is a delicate chemical balance all through the reproductive organs which means only the best sperm get through, it could be that the balance in one women is hostile to female sperm and another is hostile to male sperm. Plus, once the embryo is created there is the whole implantation to get through, one sex could be favoured. Then there is carrying the pregnancy to term there may be reasons why some women miscarry foetuses of one sex and not the other. Cheers Anne |

While it is the sperm that determines the sex, there is a complicated dance that goes on to determine *which* sperm fertilizes the egg. The woman's body plays a significant role in that.
