First a little scientific discussion. Male sperm are more motile,
(move better, faster), but female sperm are longer lived. You have
a window of about 5 days before o-day which are "best" for making
love in order to conceive. If you want to favor a girl, start
making love 5 days before o-day, and don't make love later than
3 days before o-day. On the other hand, I you want to conceive a
boy, make love only one day before o-day, and continue until you
actually ovulate. It's not certain, but it does increase your oods.
I have also heard it said that your DH should wear briefs for a
girl and boxers for a boy. Has to do with the temperature.

Now for the old wives tales. If you want a boy, make love with the
man on top. If you want a girl, make love with the woman on top.
I have 4 kids, two boys, and two girls, and I am 4 for 4 in this
category, so it must work! :-)
