Well, the popular thing in India right now is to get an ultrasound of the fetus and abort it if it is female. If you aren't willing to do that x number of times until you get a male, do artificial insemination when the female egg is fertilized outside of the body. They can tell the males from the females and have them insert the male ones into your body. Unfortunately, that is expensive.
So, my short term advice is be happy to have a baby...not many people get that opportunity. Stop caring about sex.

Basically, men produce two types of sperms, the X (female) and Y (male). According to Dr. Shettles' studies the y-sperms are smaller, weaker, but faster than their siblings x-sperms, which are bigger, stronger, but slower.
Based on this fact, there are several things you can do to "favor" the conception of boys or girls:
(1) The most important aspect of all is timing of intercourse during the monthly cycle. The closer to ovulation you have sex, the better the chances to have a boy, because the y-sperms are faster and tend to get to the egg first. If you have sex 3 days or more before ovulation, the better your chances to conceive a girl, because the weaker y-sperms tend to die sooner and the x-sperms will be available in greater quantity whenever the egg is released. On the other hand, having sex from 2 days before ovulation, through a few days after ovulation, is better for conceiving a boy. Around the 2-day point -- 48 hours before ovulation -- seems to be the 50/50 mark.
(2) The pH of the women's tract is also very important. A more acidic environment favors girls, since it will kill the weaker y-sperms first, leaving a greater quantity of x-sperms available to fertilize the egg. On the other hand, a more alkaline environment favors boys. Shettles recommends a douche of water and vinegar (acid) immediately before intercourse to favor a girl; a douche of water and baking soda (alkaline) will help for a boy.
(Don't try this without reading Shettles! You have to dilute the douches properly, according to his formula, or they won't help and might hurt you.)
Note: Some women are naturally very acidic and have a hard time conceiving boys.
(3) Position of intercourse and depth of penetration are important, partly because of pH. The closer to the entrance to the vagina, the more acidic the women's tract is. Also, deep penetration places the sperm closer to the egg, and gives those aggressive boy sperms a head start :-). So, a shallow penetration will favor girls and a deeper will favor boys. Shettles recommends missionary-position for a girl, and rear-entry (dog-style) for a boy.
(4) Women's orgasms can also be important. It also has to do with pH. When a woman has an orgasm, the body releases some kind of substance that makes the environment more alkaline, favoring boys. He recommends no orgasms when trying for girls!
(5) The sperm count is another factor. Obviously, a low sperm count to begin with doesn't favor either sex. But a high sperm count favors boys. Shettles recommends three things:
(a) When trying for a boy, don't have sex for 3- 4 days before you reach the target date a day or two before ovulation! For girls, have sex everyday from day=1 or day=5 ("cleaner" :-)), and stop 3 days before ovulation. (b) Shettles recommends that for boys, the man wear loose underwear only -- that is, men who usually wear briefs or other tight underwear should switch to boxers. The idea is the same as wearing boxers to increase overall fertility -- the testicles need cooler temperatures for sperms to survive, and the Y-sperms, since they are weaker, will be helped more than the X-sperms by this method. However, Shettles does NOT recommend the opposite, that men wear briefs for a girl -- this will just decrease overall fertility. (c) Also, for a girl, the man is supposed to take a hot bath immediately before intercourse. "Room temperature" is fine for a boy. The idea is the same as the briefs versus boxers -- give the X- sperms an advantage.
(6) Finally, in trying for a boy, Shettles recommends a nice cup of caffeinated coffee for the man, right before sex -- he isn't clear on how or why this works, but apparently it gives the Y-sperms a jolt!
Well, these are the big ones. Read the book for other details. If you can determine the time of ovulation and follow the rules presented in his book, Dr. Shettles claims a success rate of 70-75% for girls and 75-80% for boys (better than the normal 50%). As you see, it's not 100%!!!
Also, Shettles recommends a "practice" period of 3-6 months, to make sure the couple has all the techniques down properly.

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.

put the sperm into a centrifuge and separate it by weight, sperm bearing an X chromosome are heavier. then take out the lighter sperm, artificially inseminate the female, and wait 9 months, making sure to seek proper prenatal care.
other than that, you're slightly more likely to have a boy than a girl the old fashioned way.

Having sex close to ovulation can increase your odds since the Y sperm are faster swimmers, and that would give them the first go at the egg. You would have sex the day before and the day of ovulation, and make sure to abstain for the days before that so that the X sperms aren't up waiting for the egg.

You can't really just decide what the sex of the baby is going to be. It's pretty much up to the chromosome or whatever.

You'd have to go to the doctor. And they could alter the genes, I think they'd have to extract an egg and externally do the fertilization then they could make it a male.
