The phases of the moon has nothing to do with gender selection.
Although the sex of the baby is determined by its father, there are certain things you can do to increase your chances of naturally conceiving a boy or a girl. The Shettles Method works on the theory that "male" sperm are quicker but weaker than "female" sperm. Timing sex 3-5 days prior to ovulation increases the chances of conceiving a girl, since many male sperm have died off by the time ovulation occurs. Sex the day before or day of ovulation increases your chances of having a boy, since the speedy male sperm beat the female sperm to the egg. There is sound scientific evidence to support Shettles theories, but there are no guarantees. It's much easier to try for a boy using Shettles than for a girl.
The gender selection diet idea has its supporters, but there is virtually no evidence to support it. The theory is that female sperm continue to thrive in an acidic environment that would kill the more fragile male sperm. Male sperm prefer an alkaline environment. Therefore, a diet which is high in sodium and potassium and low in calcium and magnesium prior to conception will increase the chance of conceiving of a baby boy. For a baby girl, the diet should be high in calcium and magnesium and low in sodium and potassium. Oh, and no orgasms for mom if you're hoping for a girl (per Shettle). At climax, the woman's body becomes more alkaline due to the release of certain hormones.
Really, it's all just hit or miss. If you have the money, and the desperation, you could try separating the sperm and then undergoing IUI. To do this, the sperm are spun in a centrifuge so that the lighter male sperm and the heavier female sperm separate. An IUI is then performed with sperm most likely to provide the desired gender. Even this is not 100% accurate. Undergoing IVF can guarantee the gender you want, but the costs are astronomical.

Gender selection of children is a controversial topic, particularly in terms of genetic therapy and the ethics of picking the sex of your child. While there certainly have been advances in the field of genetics, there are actually some natural and completely ethical things that you can do that will increase the likelihood of selecting a gender for your child.

While no method is 100% accurate, if you are determined to have a boy or a girl, there are a few things that can be done to significantly increase your chances of conceiving the gender of your choice. Remember, the most important thing is to have a healthy baby, regardless of their gender. But if you do want to try to pick the gender of your child, it is possible. Here's what you need to know.
Differences in Sperm
The sperm that carry the Y chromosome are the "boy" sperms, while the ones that carry the X chromosome are the "girl" sperms. The Y sperm are faster, smaller, more agile but they do not last as long as the "girl" sperm. The X sperm are bigger and move quite slowly. In addition to their overall speed, they have different preferences in terms of the acidity of the vagina and cervix. An X sperm does better in an acidic environment while the Y sperm prefer an alkaline environment.
How These Differences Affect Conception
Now that we have established the differences between the sperm that carry different chromosomes, it is important to understand how these differences can be used for natural gender selection. Once you have this information, you can begin trying to conceive a child that will be a specific gender.
If you want to have a boy, the timing is crucial. Since these sperm do not live long, it is vital to time your intercourse as closely to ovulation as possible. This gives the Y sperm time to reach the egg before the X sperm do, increasing the chances that you will have a boy.
If you want to have a girl, you need to give the X sperm plenty of time to reach the egg. Since they live longer, this means that you want to time intercourse a few days before expected ovulation. By the time you ovulate, the Y sperm will have already died off, leaving only the X sperm behind. They will have the time needed to travel up through the cervix to reach the egg and fertilize it.

I agree that the sex is up to the daddy. There's nothing you can do. Be happy with what you get and as long as it's healthy why should the sex matter? If you're going to have a girl God will give you one. Good Luck. And remember just pray for a healthy baby and don't worry about the sex of it.

There is no sure way. However, some things old wives have said:
Place a fork under the bed to have a girl, a knife to have a boy. (I do not know if this is during conception or childbirth.)
Ejaculation 'deep' increases chance of boy.
Woman on top for a girl. Man on top for a boy.
There are others but I'm far too lazy to walk to the bookcase just noe for my book of superstitions.
Search 'conception superstitions' on Google.

There are lot of suggestions on-line do a search. I can't say if any of these have worked but i have heard. Best position is man on top. Eat sweets instead of salts. Take cranberry tablets, calcium, magnesium, and folic acid. Some people even say sudafed. Just what i have read before...i haven't tried any.

There's nothing guaranteed to ensure the sex of a baby, sorry. Its up to the man's sperm and which genes it carries. After you conceive, there are some fun ways to 'determine' what the sex is, such as the Chinese Lunar calendar.

It is said that female sperm swim slower but live longer and for males its the opposite. If you were trying for a girl you would want to have sex a few days before you ovulate so most of the males die off.
Of course this is not 100%.

Oh honestly, don't you think if it were that easy that it would be common knowledge by now??
These are all wives tales and don't work. The only way to guarantee the sex of your baby is by IVF. Other than that, you take your chances just like everybody else.
