My boyfriend's family is a lot of boys. His dad had 7 brothers, my bf has 2 brothers, no girls. I'm one of only 2 girls in my family. Is it very likely that my bf and I will also have a lot of boys?

Yes I think it is genetic my husbands family was the same way and we had two boys. It's on the mans side that would cause it to be boys.

I dont think it is genetic. I am the only girl in my family and my bf family is mixed we had a girl. My brother had a girl. I think it is all by chance.

The man determines the sex of the baby, so it doesn't really matter if boys run in your family or not...but the fact that his father and grandfather had only boys may be an indicator that he will produce more boys than girls.

Yes, it's genetic. It comes from the father's side of the family, because the sperm determines the sex of the baby. The mother's genetics don't have anything to do with this one.

Yes, it is, and no, not unless it runs on his side of things- the sex of the baby is determined by the sperm that fertilzes the egg, not by the egg itself. So you have a 50/50 chance, unless your boyfriend's family has the same thing going on- it runs strongly on my husband's side of the family, and guess what? I've got all boys! Good luck, hon! :)

Yes it is. I am the oldest of 6. My sister is the baby, with 4 brothers in between.

That's how it is also in my family and I'm wondering the same thing.

Yep, it just gets a genetical cause too!
About your last question, it depends from your preferences mainly!
Somebody likes to have both male and female baby... and you?
