If you buy a lot of girl clothing, and wear a lot of pink when you're trying to conceive, you still won't be guaranteed to have a baby girl. You can't force the hand of chance.

Ok in all honesty it doesn't matter what you eat or do for the most part it's a 50/50 chance.. But there is one thing that may help... It's proof the female sperm live longer then male sperm... so for a boy if you have sex the day before and day of ovulation you'll more likely have a boy!!! I wanted a girl so I did what the doctor told me to do.. Have sex 3 days before ovulation in this case sperm surivives up to 72 hours the male sperm will die off and the females kinda hang around a little longer waiting on the egg... it's not 100% obviously but if you want to know something that isn't way out there then give it a shot..and I hope that you get what you want...

Giving birth to a new life is indeed a blessing which almost every woman would wish to have. How to get pregnant naturally https://tr.im/hQ8cP
Enjoying the feeling of motherhood and raising a family would surely be a couple’s dream. Some get it naturally, while for some others things don’t seem to work as they desire. These reasons which stop a women from conceiving can be due to either physical reasons or truly physiological.

HERES WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT!!!!
Choosing your baby's sex: The folk wisdom
If you want your baby to be a boy, should you eat more red meat? To get a girl, should you treat yourself to chocolate? Or make love under a full moon?
Everyone's heard at least one of these stories , and we all know they're just urban myths, but...what if, by chance, one of these methods actually works? Couples who'd give anything for a daughter or a son may want to give one or two of them a shot (heck, it can't hurt, right?). We've collected some of our favorite folklore about how to make a boy or girl. Share your ideas in the comment box at the bottom of the page — especially anything that has worked for you.
(A caveat: Those of you who are truly serious about sex selection should be sure to see our article on what the scientists say. Also, don't forget to take our quiz on the myths and realities of baby-making to find out what can really help you conceive.)
Your child is what you eat
According to folk wisdom, what you put in your body before conceiving may affect what comes out nine months later.
If you want a boy...
> Eat more meat — the redder the better.
> Stick with salty snacks such as pretzels and chips.
> Dads-to-be: Stock up on soda, especially cola drinks.
If you want a girl...
> Both partners should eat lots of fish and veggies.
> Give in to your chocolate craving, or just eat sweets in general.
The joy of sex
Quite a few old wives' tales about sex selection involve theories about the best way to make love if you want to influence your baby's gender.
If you want a boy...
> Lie down after sex and stay there for a while. Supposedly that gives the boy sperm a chance to beat the girl sperm to the egg.
> Make love standing up.
> Try the rear-entry position.
> Focus on his pleasure — if the male partner climaxes first, supposedly you're guaranteed a boy.
> Give in to seduction — if the man is the one to suggest some baby-making, you'll get a boy.
> Gals, sleep to the left of your partner.
If you want a girl...
> Give the missionary position a go.
> Make love with the woman on top.
> Focus on her pleasure — if the woman orgasms before her partner, you can decorate your nursery in pink.
> Take the lead — if the woman initiates sex, you'll get a girl.
It's all in the timing...or the direction
In a society where many people still check their daily horoscope for guidance, is it any surprise that superstition and folklore also dictate when to make love if you want to pick your baby's sex?
If you want a boy...
> Make love when there's a quartermoon in the sky.
> Have sex at night.
> Mark your calendar — more boys are conceived on odd days of the month.
> Follow the compass — one of our users swears that pointing the woman's head north while you make love guarantees a boy.
If you want a girl...
> Do the baby dance when the moon is full.
> Make a date for love in the afternoon.
> Get together on the even days of the month.

Try this: http://www.ovulation-calendar.com/
It's an ovulation calendar. You enter information like when you had your last period, how long your cycle is ect... it tells you everything from when you're logically fertile if your system's normal, to what days you're more likely to conceive a girl or boy during your fertile period.
"You can increase your chances of having a boy or a girl by choosing the right time for intercourse. Sperm carrying X-chromosomes lives longer and swims slower than male Y-carrying sperm. Therefore, if you have intercourse about 3 days prior to ovulation, you have a better chance of conceiving a girl; and the closer to ovulation you have sex, the better the chances are of having a boy. Ovulation Calendar helps you calculate the perfect time for conception, increasing your chances of conceiving a boy or a girl."
It's worked for my friend for both of her children and it's much cheaper than trying to do the genetic coding or whatever they offer at hospitals. In fact, the first few months are free :) Good luck getting a little girl :)

Timing intercourse for having a girl may be more challenging than trying for a boy. You will want to have sex several days before you ovulate. However, if you have intercourse too close to ovulation you may end up conceiving a boy. Sperm can live up to five days. You want to time intercourse so that you are having sex as far from ovulation as possible but still close enough that the sperm will still survive. The female sperm live longer than the male so if you time things right, the male sperm will not make it to the egg to fertilize it. You want to try not to have sex during the two days before your peak day. Unfortunately, if you don’t have a regular cycle or if you ovulate earlier than you normally do, you may end up having intercourse close enough to ovulation to conceive a boy. GL!

You have a 50/50 chance of a girl. You husband makes the decision on where a girl or a boy. I hope he has lots of sisters.

I have heard that if a guy has sex with you gently and slow then you will more likely have a girl and if a guy is quick and deep penetrating then it will more likely be a male. The reason for this is the male sperm are faster than women. This may be a load of bullocks but I heard it somewhere. If anything, its a good reason to gave some good sex you will enjoy. Good luck!
