I have always heard that male sperm swims faster and dies faster and the female sperm swims slow but lives longer. So what I have heard is if you want a boy you need to have intercouse on or the day before ovulation so it will beat the female sperm. And if it was a girl you need to have intercouse 2-3 days before ovulations so by the time the egg is ready the male sperm has already died off. Good Luck

Find your ovulation day. Have sex that day as many times as possible.
Timing your ovulation is key to conception but even more crucial when trying for a certain gender. If you wait a mere 12/24 hours you likelyhood of a girl increases.
Also, it depends
1. The potenancy of hubby's sperm, and
2. Your reaction to his sperm
But, if you time it correctly you'll more than likely end up with a boy. It's what I did and I'm 22 weeks pregnant with a boy. The day I saw the surge I grabbed my hubby and pulled him to bed, lol. Made hime late for work, but it was worth it. The next time around I'll wait 12-24 hours and abstain the week of my peak day in hopes of a girl.
Good Luck!!

I heard if you have sex on the day of ovulation, you could have a boy, a day or two before, you would probably have a girl. Faster sperm tend to be the boy sperm, heavier, slower sperm are the girl sperm. But that's just rumor and old wives tales, just pray and hope for a boy...

Try going to a fertility specialist. They might be able to see if a sperm has the y chromosome needed to have a boy. ( sorry my genetics are a bit rusty).
Or you could adopt, and have a 100% chance of getting a boy

There is no "way" to have a boy- no matter what wive's tale people may say. It's 50/50 and the man determines the sex since he has the XY chromosome.

You should have sex the day you are ovulating. Male sperms are faster, but die sooner then female sperm. So the chances are, if you have sex day or two before you ovulate, the female sperms will "wait" there for the egg to become available, but the male sperms die. It is only 70% chance, but it worked for me. Good luck!

Nothing, unfortunately
It all depends on the man's sperm.......so you have a 50% chance of having a boy........nothing you do will increase the odds

There are no ways to predict the sex of your baby it all depends on what the man implants in the egg.

The man determines the sex of the baby. You can't pick the sex just by yourselves.
