my fiance and i are ready to start having a family after we get married this fall. he says that he comes from a long line of males (and it is true, only one girl has been born in 40 years on his side of the family. now i know it seems silly but i want a little girl, at least one! bring on the boys but i want a daughter. are statistics like this going to be a factor when we start trying to have children?

It doesn't matter. Each of his sperm will carry either an X or Y chromosome. Whichever one fertilizes your egg determines the gender. You are just as likely to have a girl as you are to have a boy.

It's a 50-50 shot.
However, it is the male's sperm that determines the baby's sex. Women always have the X chromosome (girl). If the male's X chromosome gets to the egg...you'll get a girl. If his Y chromosome gets there, Boy.
I've heard that the timing of your cycle can help with getting one sex more often than other.
Good luck.

The same thing was in my sisters partners family, they had two boys and when she fell pregnant for a third time the family told her it would be another boy. She had a girl, she's now two.
So yes you can have a girl, it's always 50/50.

your chromosomes play a 50% part in the sex too
