I have 2 boys and want to have a girl. I'm afraid of having another boy 'cause I dont plan on having any more children, but I cant imagine never having a little girl!
I've heard many things out there like having my husband go in the jacuzzi before we have sex..??? Anybody out there who tried something that worked?
My doctor says it's a 50/50, but if there's any chance I want to try everything - ANYTHING that can possibly- maybe- just might increase my chances! Help!
And DONT advise me to do that sperm separation stuff 'cause I don't believe in that.

I did a search and got this, of course its still 50/50
Conceiving a Girl
To actively work at conceiving a girl, you must know your cycle. Chart your cycle for a couple of months to see what day you begin your period and what day you are ovulating. You can do this using an ovulation kit or basal temperature.
Then, once you know the day you will ovulate, begin having sex immediately following the end of your period. Have sex at least once a day until two or three days before ovulation. Then stop. (Sorry, guys.)
Y-carrying sperm swim faster than X-carrying sperm. The boy-makers also tend to die out more quickly. By stopping three days before ovulation, you are ensuring the only sperm left waiting around for the released egg are the longer-lasting, slow-swimming X-carriers. (Sperm can live up to 5-7 days inside a woman’s body.) When the remaining sperm meet up with the egg, it is far more likely an X sperm will get the honors.
Doctor Shettles also suggests having sex in the missionary position to deposit sperm as close to the entrance of the vagina as possible. He also suggests the woman not orgasm during sex (Sorry, girls.) An orgasm can make the vaginal environment alkaline which can kill off sperm more quickly preventing any pregnancy.

I would have sex only 3 days before you ovulate because that would guarentee that all the the male sperm have dyed or there are only very few left. the female sperm live longer so they would be there when you ovulate. you have to make sure that your cm isnt hostile though, mabye use something like preseed just to ensure that the sperm will live that long. hope this helps
you can go to the book store and purchase books all about this subjuect
good luck!

Going in the jacuzzi actually lowers sperm count so don't do that. Alot of those things are wives-tales and don't work.
The only thing is the sperm separation, even though you don't believe in it, it's the only thing that could help.

Aside from medical intervention...everything is old wives tales. Try 'em...but basically it boils down to 50/50...
You can look at your hubby's family as he is the sex decider...lots of boys??? That is the likely hood. Basically...you would have to have medical intervention...even that isn't 100%
