We asked my doctor this after our two daughters when we were trying for a son and he told us to have sex as much as possible if you want a girl and only once during your fertile time of the month if you want a boy. IT WORKED! He said the weaker female sperm have more endurance than the quicker male sperm. Now we are the proud parents of two girls and two boys!

With a average theory there's nothing that you can fairly do to examine the sex of a youngster. There are men and women who will try to sell you matters established on "scentific" research (if it quite was once this convenient you would not have got to buy the knowledge, doctors would make it on hand for ethical causes to try and counteract infanticide and leaving behind babies headquartered on their intercourse) and there are a whole bunch of old wives memories out there but in all honesty it quite is the success of the draw. For each man or woman who tries it it's going to work as a minimum 50% of the time - if a hundred couples who desire a girl are attempting for a lady, about half will get a woman - so they'll inform you their approach "worked". Of course the opposite half who bought a boy will tell you or else. The one way that you may reliably have a child of a special intercourse is with assisted conception like IVF the place the sperm or the embryos can be screened. Good luck. And don't let anybody rip you off.

no you cannot choose to have a baby girl. if that were true then many women might decide to do that since many women want a lil girl.
If you didn't know but the one that determines to have a specific gender is the male. I am not 100% sure of the exacts but the male when upon ejaculating in you....their sperm is what determines the gender of your child.
As far as Julia Roberts. she didn't pay to have her children. she got pregnant like the rest of the normal race does by sex and nothing to do with money.
and no....you don't have to have sex 1 or 2 days before your ovulation.....to have a baby girl. These are just old wives tales. myths if you will.
If you want to make sure for certain just ask any ob/gyn and they will tell you exactly what I am telling you but with details on how the male sperms decides the sex.
Ohh and your dr. probably wont know about Julia either...LOL.

Science is the only guaranteed method, and it would be pricey. You would have to donate sperm, have it separated in a lab, possibly even fertilized in that lab and then implanted in the mother and cross your fingers that it would take. There is an abundance of wives tales and myths about having a boy or girl, but none are actually guaranteed to work.

I don't think you can naturally select the gender of your baby, but you can tip the odds in your favor.
The following is a description of the Shettles Method, taken from www.fertilityfriend.com
It is the sperm that fertilizes the egg that will determine the sex of your baby. Some sperm carry the X-chromosome and some sperm carry the Y-chromosome. If an X-chromosome-carrying sperm fertilizes the egg, the baby will be a girl. If a Y-chromosome-carrying sperm fertilizes the egg, the baby will be a boy.
The idea behind the Shettles Method of sex selection is based on the premise that the X and Y chromosome carrying sperm have different characteristics and that under different circumstances either X- or Y-chromosome-carrying sperm will be more likely to fertilize the egg.
The Y-chromosome-carrying sperm are said to:
be faster and smaller than the X-chromosome carrying sperm.
die faster than the X-chromosome-carrying sperm.
The X-chromosome-carrying sperm are said to:
be slower than the Y-chromosome carrying sperm.
be better able to withstand the acidic cervical environment before fertile cervical fluid is produced.
Based on these premises, according to Shettles, you can time intercourse, choose a sexual position that favors conception of your preferred sex and influence the reproductive environment to increase the likelihood of conceiving your preferred sex. These are the suggestions from Dr. Shettles:
To Get A Boy (According to Shettles):
Time intercourse as close to ovulation as possible: The idea is that since the Y-chromosome sperm are faster than the X-chromosome sperm, there will be more Y-chromosome sperm who reach the egg, making it more likely that a Y-chromosome carrying sperm will fertilize the egg.
Abstain from intercourse for four to five days prior to ovulation. Have intercourse only just at the time of ovulation and just before.
Have intercourse that allows for deep penetration. Shettles recommends rear-entry (aka, “doggy-style”). The idea is that the sperm will be deposited closer to the cervix where cervical fluid is most friendly to the Y-chromosome sperm and where the “boy sperm” are more likely to survive since there is less distance to travel.
Men avoid tight clothes: heat kills off both types of sperm, but will kill off the less protected, smaller Y-chromosome sperm faster, according to Shettles.
Women have an orgasm: According to Shettles, female orgasm increases the alkaline secretions in the vagina that are favorable to the Y-chromosome carrying sperm. Shettles recommends having an orgasm before or at the same time as the male partner.
To Get a Girl (According to Shettles):
Have intercourse 2-3 days before ovulation and avoid intercourse just before ovulation until 2 days after ovulation and when you have peak cervical fluid: The idea is that when you have sex a few days before ovulation, only the X-chromosome “girl sperm” will be left in the female reproductive tract waiting to fertilize the egg when it is released.
Have intercourse with shallow penetration: Shettles recommends “missionary position”or any position that will deposit the sperm slightly away from the cervix, giving advantage to the longer living, but slower X-chromosome-carrying sperm.
Women avoid orgasm: Shettles suggests women avoid orgasm because it makes the vaginal environment more alkaline, and less acidic and is disadvantageous to the X-chromosome “girl sperm”.
If you are taking longer than expected to conceive, it is generally not recommended to attempt any kind of sex selection as it can increase the time it takes to conceive.

Well sperm that carry the GIRL factor, live longer so if you want a girl you need to have sex 2 days before ovulation and end it there. If you want a boy, just have sex all the time. Old wives tale, who knows.
