Look for a book.. um cant remember what its called but its written by the guy who invented artificial insemination.. Its about choosing your babys gender.. He claims 75-80% accuracy.. Some pointers are that male sperm are smaller and faster but female sperm are larger and live longer.. So you should try to find out when you ovulate.. test for 1-2 months, track your temps and cm.. your last day of wet cm is your ovulation day.. you should stop having sex 3 days before to concieve.. but you need to know for sure what day your going to ovulate so you need to keep track before hand.. boy sperm will die off by the time you ovulate and females will be left.. also.. dont have an orgasm. the fluid produced helps the sperm swim.. you need to be fairly dry down their.. also have the man ejaculate just inside the opening of your vagina.. it needs to be a long swim so the males arent their waiting.. the females will survive the journey but the males wont.. missionary position is best.. Oh and having sex durring the summer is best also or having your partner wear tight pants will help.. if he wears tight pants it will warm up his testicals.. the heat will kill off most of the male sperm but since the female sperm are larger they can withstand more stress.. Oh and NO CAFINE for your partner.. it will help increase the sperms stamina.. you dont want the males getting any faster then they already are..
Good luck!

Boy sperm are faster, but don't live as long and girl sperm live longer, but aren't as fast.
You have to plan to do "it" a few days before you are suppose to ovulate so the boy sperm are dead and the girl sperm have a chance. I also heard that doggy style is the best position for this.
My boyfriend and I have one son (6 years old) and wanted a girl this time, we did all the "required" tricks and are expecting a boy. Oh well, we are happy anyway

Try to have sex two to three days before ovulation. It has something to do with them surviving longer or something. You can also go to the doctor and try getting a sperm wash where they remove the male sperm. Beware this is not 100% my friend did this and ended up with another boy anyway. Good luck

i don't know how true this is but, I read in a magazine and heard from several people, if you concieve in April or May and your baby is due in January there is a 60% chance it will be a girl. i don't know if it's true or not, BUT I concieved in April according to my dr. and I am having a baby girl in about an week or 2....

I heard that if you want to have a girl, you should have sex one or two days BEFORE ovulation. Male sperms are faster, but female ones live longer, so chances are if you have sex before ovulation, male sperms die till the day you can conceive.
