You have to be happy with what God gives you. YOu can't choose the sex of your baby. If this were possible China wouldn't have orphanages filled with females. There are all sorts of wives tales about this. The truth is that the sperm that fertilizes the egg determines the baby's sex. There are thousands of sperm in each load the male puts out. Some are male, some are female. You get what you get, and you will love what you have no matter what. I cried when the ultrasound said I was having a boy, but now I'm so glad I did. I honestly am glad I had a boy and not a girl. You can try all those positions, but the truth is you will still have a 50/50 chance. Good luck!

When my husband and I had our two daughters, we asked what we could do to conceive a boy, and what he told us worked cause now we have two of each!

The weaker female sperm have more endurance... so they need to have sex often (more than once a day everyday).

We were told when we wanted our boys to have sex just once during my fertile period. Because the boy sperm were stronger but had less endurance. So they would get to the egg faster but die off sooner. So for a female have sex often so the male sperm will die off and the female sperm with more endurance will get to the egg.

i don know if its true or not but i was told that sperm has a longevity by the sex it is girl sperm last up to six days where boy sperm lasts only 3 days. Ive also been told that there are more boy sperm than girl sperm so if you have sex when you ovulate you have a better chance of having a boy but if you wait till a few days before you ovulate the boy sperm die off and you have a better chance of having a girl. now im no scientist but it has worked for others good luck

Okay, seriously. There is no way to choose the sex of your baby. But good news! She has a 50% chance that it will be a girl!

Theres no guarantee but it is said that if you want a girl, have sex 2-3 days before ovulation because the girls are slower swimmers than the boys, but they live longer... the boys die off quicker. If you want a boy, have sex the day before ovulation or the day of. Good luck to her :)

you should take what you get and be happy.
but if you want i've heard you can have a proceedure done called sperm selection but it's quite pricey, and many think it to be unmoral. usually it is used for people who are carriers of certain genetic diseases that are more common in certain sexs. i also have a friend who claims to have picked the sex of both her children by using the Chinese fertility chart. but who knows for sure if it works or not? here is the link. girls and boys both are precious gifts. just hope for a healthy child.

The shettles method works. I had a girl first and a boy second. Just like we wanted.

The Shettles Method

The Shettles, by Dr. Landrum Shettles and David Rorvik, authors of How
To Choose the Sex of Your Baby, is the method most used and most
effective. According to this method Y-chromosomes (for boys) move
faster but don't last as long as X-chromosomes (for girls), Dr
Shettles says it makes sense to have sex as close as possible to
ovulation if a boy is what you want. If you try to conceive two to
four days before you ovulate, you'll most likely have a girl.

The Method Best Supported by Scientific Evidence The Shettles Method
Baby Gender Selection Book

Over the last twenty-five years, thousands of couples have turned to
the Shettles method for choosing the sex of their babies. And
thousands have been blessed with the boy or girl they hoped for. In
fact, the properly applied Shettles method gives couples at least a 75
percent success rate. Some researchers have reported success rates up
to 90 percent!

Includes Information On:

- Determining when you ovulate should have sex in order to have a boy or a girl.
- What sexual positions will increase the probability of having your
chosen gender.
- How to time intercourse so it favors conception of a boy or a girl.

The Shettles Method is based on the fact that the Y chromosome bearing
sperm ( boy sperm ) are smaller and less robust but move faster than
the larger X chromosome bearing sperm ( girl sperm ).

So based on this fact, the Shettle Method recommends the following to
help you conceive a girl.

How to Conceive a Girl

Determining the Time of Ovulation:

Determining when you ovulate is vital when you are learning how to
conceive a girl. Shettles recommends that you have sex 2 1/2 to 3 days
BEFORE ovulation in order to increase your chances of conceiving a
girl. Having sex closer to ovulation will dramatically decrease your
chances of conceiving a girl. The timing of intercourse in relation to
ovulation is a vital factor in increasing your chances of having a
girl.

Shettles suggests three specific ways in which to do this.


1) Charting Cervical Mucus
Dr Shettes goes into full detail on how to chart your cervical mucus
in Part Three of his book, How to Choose the Sex of Your Baby. You can
download a blank CM chart in two different formats: PDF or Excel
Spreadsheet.
With this method of determining when you ovulate, you access your
cervical mucus on a daily basis. Right before you ovulate, your
cervical mucus should be very watery and very elastic. It's
consistency should be that of raw egg white. Charting for more than a
month before you attempt to conceive a girl is recommended so you can
be CERTAIN that you are ovulating on a specific day.

2) Basal Body Temperature (BBT) Charting
Shettles also suggests that you use BBT charting a long with charting
your cervical mucus in order to gain as much information in order to
pinpoint when exactly you are ovulating. He goes into full detail on
how to accurately chart your BBT in Part Three of his book.

You can also use a computer program to track your basal body
tempertures as well as your cervical mucus. The software provides much
valuable information that will help you pin point the time of
ovulation and lets you track your whole cycle in an easy to use and
understandable format. You can read about all the wonderful features
of this software on our product information page. Please note, you
will also need to have a basal thermometer to use this software.

[edit]

3) Using Ovulation Predictor Kits
The final way Shettles recommends for finding out the exact time you
are ovulating is by using ovulation predictor kits. These kits detect
when your body has released LH (Luteinizing Hormone), a precursor to
ovulation. Dr. Shettles suggests testing twice a day in to make sure
you catch the surge as early as possible. He recommends testing once
between 11am and 3 pm and then again between 5pm and 10pm. When all
factors are considered, ovulation will most likely occur about 24
hours after the time when you get a positive result for the lh surge
on your ovulation predictor kit. Dr. Shettles offers indepth
explanations on how to interpret the ovulation predictor kits in his
book so be sure to read all the information he provides.

Store bought ovulation predictor kits can cost quite a bit, but we
offer them here at BabyHopes.com for a very reasonable price.

[edit]

Frequency and Timing of Intercourse:

Shettles says in order to increase the chances of having a girl, you
should have sex everyday from the end of your period up to 2 1/2 to 3
days before ovulation. After this point, do not have unprotected sex
until several days past ovulation.

Intercourse further away from ovulation favors the larger slower
moving X (girl) sperm. The weaker Y (boy) sperm will die more quickly
in the more acidic preovulatory vaginal / cervical secretions and by
the time of ovulation there will be a much larger concentration of X
(girl) sperm available to fertilize the egg.

Sexual Position:

Shettles suggests that if you are trying to conceive a girl, shallow
penetration from your partner, preferably with the missionary
position, will deposit the sperm closer to the entrance to the vagina.
This area is more acidic than closer to the cervix and acidity will
work against the weaker "boy" sperm leaving more "girl" sperm
available to fertilize your egg.

Sex and Orgasms:

When trying to conceive a girl, Shettles recommends that you don't
orgasm during sex as the body produces substances after orgasm that
makes the vaginal environment more alkaline, which favors the "boy"
sperm.

The contractions which accompany an orgasm help move the sperm up and
into the cervix, giving the "boy" sperm an extra chance at being
available when your egg is available for fertilization.

i've heard that the female sperm lives longer in the womans body than the male. maybe increase acidity, but not too much.
