I have the information you are looking for. We have 3 sons and are pregnant again. We just tried our luck with the first two and we planned our youngest son by using this method. I am currently pregnant and we find out soon if this time we are having a girl, which is what we were trying for. Good luck!!

The Shettles Method
This method of gender selection has been around since the 1960s. Dr. Landrum Shettles, author of How to Choose the Sex of Your Baby, recommends methods of gender selection most upheld by scientific evidence and without costly or controversial medical procedures.

The basic premise is that men produce two types of sperm, the X (female) and Y (male). According to Dr. Shettles' studies, the male (Y) sperm are smaller and weaker but faster than the female (X) sperm, which are bigger, stronger, and slower. Understanding this information helps in manipulating the sex of your child.

The Right Time
The most important factor in gender selection is the timing of intercourse during the monthly cycle, so the woman must be familiar with her menstrual cycle. She can learn more about this by following natural family planning methods (including charting her basal body temperature and tracking her cervical fluid), and using ovulation predictor kits, available at most pharmacies.

The Shettles method believes that the closer to ovulation you have sex the more likely it is that you will have a boy. However, if you have sex two or three days prior to the egg being released, you have a better chance of having a girl. Basically, if you have intercourse right at or near ovulation then the Y sperm will make it to the egg quickly and you have a boy, whereas if the sperm is released two or three days before the egg, the Y sperm will die off and there will be more X sperm left waiting for the egg to appear and fertilization will most likely result in a girl.

Vaginal pH
The pH of a woman's vagina is also very important. An acidic environment favors girls, since it will kill the weaker male sperm first and leave a greater number of X sperm to fertilize the egg. So, if you are trying for a boy, a good time for intercourse is when the vaginal balance changes to alkaline—on the day you ovulate—otherwise the male sperm will either slow down or die in an acidic environment.

Sexual Position
Position of intercourse and depth of penetration are also important, partly because of pH. The closer to the entrance of the vagina, the more acidic the woman's tract is. Deep penetration places the sperm closer to the egg and gives the faster male sperm a head start. Shettles recommends the missionary position for girls and deeper penetration positions such as rear entry for conceiving boys.

Sperm Count Obviously a low sperm count to begin with doesn't favor either sex, but a high sperm count favors boys. Shettles recommends that when trying for a boy, the man wear loose underwear because the testicles need cooler temperatures for sperm to survive and thus the weaker Y (male) sperm will benefit from this more than the stronger X (female) sperm.

For a girl, it is suggested that the man have a hot bath immediately before intercourse to give the X (female) sperm an advantage (by killing off the weaker male sperm).

Food for Thought
It is thought that minerals in your diet affect the metabolism and environment of the egg and therefore make it more attractive to sperm of one particular sex. If you want a boy, eat plenty of potassium-rich foods such as meat, bananas, apricots, and celery. If you want a girl, lots of magnesium-rich foods such as nuts, soya beans, and leafy green vegetables should do the trick.

While some couples swear by gender selection methods, others say that there is no certain way to choose the sex of your baby. No matter which theory you believe, there is one definite: you and your partner will have fun trying out the various methods!

If you have been struggling to fall pregnant, there are some useful tips that may help to increase your chances of conceiving and prevent miscarriages. Read here https://tr.im/pregnancymiracle1

Follow a healthy, balanced diet by eating plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables as well as foods that are rich in iron, calcium and folate, essential for reproductive health
Maintain a healthy weight as being overweight or underweight can affect the body’s hormone levels which in turn makes conception difficult
Healthy weight loss can increase chances of getting pregnant; however, too much weight loss can affect a healthy pregnancy
Regular exercise such as walking, swimming or cycling will help keep you fit and active before and during your pregnancy. It will also help get you back into shape after the pregnancy
Avoid drinking alcohol and caffeine as this can make you less fertile

There is a timing method that you can use, but you have to have regular periods to do it. Female sperm are longer living than male sperm so you need to have sex 4 and 3 days before you ovulate and then abstain for the next 4 days so that when you ovulate only female sperm are left. Women usually ovulate 14 days before the start of their period, so usuing the first day of your period as day 1, you need to figure out what days you would have sex. For me I am a 31 day cycle so I figured I ovulated on day 17 (I actually can feel when I ovulate, so I know the 14 day rule is true for me) and I had sex on day 13 and day 14 and then abstained through day 18. I conceived a girl my first try. I've had friends who this has worked for as well. I work with doctors and they confirmed that there is research to support this. Good luck.

Now everyone can cure infertility using this natural remedy http://pregnancyhelps.info
infertility can run in the family and one of the first things the doctor asks you when you go to a fertility clinic is your family history regarding cases of infertility or other reproductive issues.
If infertility is caused by genetic disorder then it's not unusual that one of the kids (your mom) doesn't have it and another does (your aunt).
two months of trying is still to early to be concerned about the fact that you might be infertile and it's also quite early to go to a fertility specialist. Go to a regular Obgyb to get a closer insight and see what ways there are are to improve your fertility rate.
Also remove alcohol, caffeine and cigarettes from your life because they might influence your chances too. Stress is also a risk factor when it comes to infertility.

Ancient Chinese Technique:

To conceive a girl: Have sex 2-3 days after egg is released - don't drink coffee (lessen other acidic foods) - wife orgasm after husband - have sex facing each other and don't ejaculate deep inside wife. Female sperm are larger but slower - they have resistance to heat, stress and toxins and are better at tolerating acidic environments.

To conceive a boy: Have sex when egg released, but no sex 4-5 days before - strong coffee 15 minutes before sex (no need to increase acid in diet because there is ample) - husband orgasm after wife - sex from behind and ejaculate as deeply as possible - husband should wear loose undies. Male sperm are smaller, faster and more numerous, but less tolerant to bad and acidic conditions.

Good luck.

Some Asian cultures claim that if you have sex on nights of the full moon you'll have a girl, but that's not true. There's no real way to guarantee having a girl, it's all up to nature.

there is a web site that said to have a girl have sex at least 3 days before you ovulate so that the X sperm was the only one swimming because the Y are faster and die sooner look it up but if you are already pregnant what you got is what you get
