Opposing Verses

Surah 75:39 → "and made from it the two sexes, the male and the female."
Does the Quran state that sex is determined at the sperm-drop stage or after the clot stage? Some verses state it is determined from a sperm-drop, while others state it is made after the leech-like clot stage.
