Even if it didn't, it would be a valuable preal world experiment to see if the distribution of biological sex is actually 50/50 or if there's environmental factors causing the OP to only have boys. It'd be a breakthrough if such a thing was found.
Oh and off topic but loved the OP's tag in the other place
lol
I dunno why I remember such stupid things

Absolutely not. No one can devote much personal attention to 5 goddamn children. People get an average of 2 hours a night with their kids after school and work etc. That's like 15 minutes a day per child, if that when you consider other work that needs to be done and personal energy levels. I have 2 and barely feel like I can give them the attention they deserve and I come from a family of 6 where I know my parents couldn't actually do shit with us. I honestly gave up trying to have any actual relationship with my parents due to it.
No one should have more than 4 kids and three is honestly hard unless you're literally relying on other people to raise your children for you, which is bullshit in and of itself.
My cousin had three girls and wanted to try for a boy. You know what she got? Twin girls. The lesson here is: never try.
If you AND your wife want another one... yeah? But don't think the next one is going to be a girl because you have already enough boys.
I've seen families do this before. Sometimes they end up with a house full of boys before they call it quits. Or sometimes they end up as families of like 3+ boys and one youngest daughter.
Trying again in the hopes of getting a daughter is up to you, but I'd only do it if you're okay with getting another boy, or even twins. There's a chance of either one happening, and you have to be okay with that possibility.
At some point you may need to stop before a house full of boys eat you out of the house. With four boys, you're already going to have your hands full keeping them fed when they hit puberty.

Just wanna throw this out there, our Foster/Adoption system is completely overpopulated and if you are serious about wanting a girl, consider adopting for fostering so that you know for certain you get a girl (although Foster system works differently depending on what state you are in).
I know its a lot of work, but OP sounds well enough to handle it. Just something to consider, GL either way my guy!

I have 2 girls and thought about trying for a boy but deep down inside I know if just be outnumbered even more so we decided to fold on that idea
You're projecting your own experiences onto OP, which isn't fair. I came from a family of 7 kids and we can all line up and tell you that we had attentive parents who knew us each individually and knew how to spend meaningful time with us. Same for my siblings who have kids of their own. Not everyone manages their time and attention the same way.
Hey, I ain't shamed to say it. I want a Tag. I wanted a Tag saying I was the director of Final Fantasy XVI for the longest time lol
