You have It backwards.

The ratio of male to female births.

The expected sex ratio in the US is 1.05, or 105 boys born for every 100 girls.

A sex ratio above 1 means there are more males than females, while a sex ratio below 1 means there are more females than males.

Sex Ratio: MNPH Data Access - MN Dept. of Health - liferay.com

And you would be wrong. Far more boy fetuses: many die before birth, still are about 107 boys born alive per 100 girls born alive.
