someone told me...
i dont know if this is true......but i'd throw it out there to see what you all think
that if you want a boy then you just  whenever
and if you want a girl, then you need to on your most probable ovulation day
what do you think? agree / disagree

Female sperm live longer so if you want a girl, you are supposed to BD before O b/c in theory, they will still be alive when the egg is present.
There are also a bunch of foods that are supposed to be geared towards having one sex over the other.

I believe they say that the male sperm are faster swimmers but die quicker so if you want to have a girl you need to BD before ovulation and not during.

Yup, that is the theory. My SIL swears she timed it for both her pregnancies so that she would have a girl and then a boy. I'm sure you can give yourself better chances if you follow this but I still think it's more of a crapshoot than anything.

Yeah I think the reverse is true,  before O,  on O date.
