Why is absolutely everyone I know having baby boys!

[Needsomeadvice33]

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.

It’s coincidence but I’ve seen it happen in waves

currently I’m the same as you, everyone I know is having a boy (I’m currently pregnant with the only girl in my circle out of 17 babies born in the last 18 months!)

but that said 4-5 years ago I also saw a period where everyone I knew was having girls, so much so at work we had 12 women due around the same time (2 month period) all of them having girls - HR joked there must have been something in the water when they changed supplier!

@BakingStick I wonder if it is the same street. P D in T?

It's weird as I've noticed this at the baby classes I've been at with DD2 lately. All boys! She's sometimes the only girl. And in hospital they said she was the only girl they'd had all day, so they were excited to deliver her!

Definitely not a trend I've noticed in my circle. It's a mix of boys and girls but actually quite girl-heavy.

In my NCT group DS was the only boy, and out of 11 grandchildren my parents have 2 boys and 9 girls (they're all quite close in age and the youngest is just a few weeks old)
