I read a book called How to choose the sex of your baby by Dr. Shettles...we have three girls and really wanted a boy too!! The book has you track your cycle to determine the day/hours you ovulate...there us a higher chance of concieving a certain gender at diff times either right b4 or during and after ovulation...you track your cm daily...the docs reason is the male sperm swims quicker and better chance of gettin to the egg first when the cm is thinner, which is normally right b4 you ovulate..have a better chance of conceiving a girl days b4 ovulation and right after...the book goes into many more details! It's complicated but worth it!! We are having a BOY!!! I had never really thought too hard abt conceiving and just always tried after I had ovulated..well according to the book your best  chances of conceiving a girl is after ovulation! So I started doing research and this book really helped us...I will say Dr Shettles doesn't claim its 100% accurate and neither am I, but I  wanted to do  everything I could on my end to help his little guy swimmers get there first!!!

I did the chinese gender chart with all four of my pregnancies and it was right every time. I have three boys and one girl. I love being able to say " I'm here with my boys" lol. My daughter is a little diva and i couldn't imagine my husband cater to 3 girls in the house. My DD has him wrapped around her finger.boys are so much easier. But as far as getting your little guy...that's in God's hands. Good luck. But try the Chinese gender prediction chart.

Well they say male sperm swims quicker and female sperm lives longer so theoretically if you have sex right when you are ovulating a male sperm may swim faster to the egg. having said that i had sex the day of ovulation and i had a girl. There arent any ways to guarantee you have a boy naturally. Sorry!
