Harvard study finds birth sex not affected by birth control pill
Harvard School of Public Health researchers reviewed 6,109 babies born to Boston area women who used the pill and found 3,045 girls and 3,064 boys, a near 50/50 split. The New England Journal of Medicine report counters a 1974 Hungarian study claiming more girls after pill use, with Rothman noting larger, representative sampling and no link between pill use duration or cessation and offspring sex.
