Donut Theory

This is a theory, advanced by Tom Smith, of how a couple can increase their chances of having a baby of a particular sex. The donut comes into play withe the Fisher Price Rock-A-Stack(r) product.

Summary: There are some known characteristics of sperm with the X (female) chromosome or the Y (male) chromosome. For the sake of this article we will refer to them as male or female sperm: There are many more male sperm than female sperm. The male sperm are weaker swimmers than the female sperm.

It therefore follows that the closer one gets the sperm to the egg, the more likely the male sperm will reach the egg and form a male embryo. The further away from the egg, the more likely one will form a female embryo.
