Is there a way to increase my chances of having fraternal twins or boy twins?
There are some old wives tales – one that I read about that is interesting because it does have some scientific backing, is taking in honey. The story behind this is the story of the Honeymoon, which is the period of 30 days after a wedding where, traditionally, men and women drank large quantities of Mead (an alcohol made out of honey). It was believed that doing so increased the chances of having male offspring. The scientific support for this is that drinking honey alters blood pH and it has been shown that blood pH at time of conception does have some bearing on the eventual sex of the child.
