When planning a pregnancy there are things that a couple should consider. One of these things is what would be the gender of the baby?

In creating this new life there are things that we should know specifically the egg cell and sperm which is the most important thing inside a man or a woman.

When the egg is released it goes to the fallopian tube waiting for the sperm.
