Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion there is no way to determine the gender of the fetus before pregnancy.It is all
chromosome based and little is known how it happens.Mother contributes two X chromosomes and father X and Y chromosomes.If X from mother fuse with X of father it leads to XX female fetus.If X from
mother fuse with Y of father it leads to XY male fetus.After the pregnancy is confirmed thyroid profile is done and dose is adjusted.according to it.The age more than 35 years is considered as elderly pregnant.
Best regards...Dr Srilatha
