I'm at that age where absolutely everyone I know is having kids. A large number are now on their 2nd kid. So me and my husband have no kids (happily childfree have 4 nephews no nieces) but we are so fascinated by the fact that absolutely nobody we know is having girls.
Literally in the last few years we are talking at least 30 boys and only 2 girls (one of which my friend told me she gender swayed for a girl and it took her like 10 months to get pregnant as she was actively avoiding ovulation).
It's became a joke that me and my husband say to eachother as soon as we hear of another pregnancy announcement "another boy then 😂".
Anyway I've been reading about the returning soldier effect where after World wars there's always far more boys born. There's a recent study regarding this.
Wonder if the pandemic has made men produce more y sperm 🤣.
Or is it perhaps because I'm at an age where women are actively tracking ovulation and with the popularity of ovulation sticks they are all having sex right at ovulation so more likely to produce boys. 🤔
Wonder what others make of this and are you all seeing the same.
Also seen there's a US nurse talking about it on tiktok.

I think they should do a study to see if men produce more y sperm after having covid.
