| It's a question that every doctor has heard: Can you influence the sex of your baby before conception? Although there are certainly lots of theories (some scientifically based, others not) that claim to help you tip the odds from the standard 50/50 shot, there's no real way to guarantee one gender or another. But don't let that stop you from having fun trying! Get Pregnant Faster Tip Go to bed! Recent research has discovered that chronic sleep deprivation may actually cause you to have irregular menstrual cycles, which means irregular ovulation. There's more: The hormone leptin (an appetite and weight regulation hormone) is now believed to play a big role in a woman's fertility. When you're exhausted, your leptin levels plummet. Studies have even found extremely low leptin levels in some infertile women. Although the science behind this theory is still relatively new, getting just a few extra hours of sleep certainly can't hurt.
