To increase the chances of having a boy, try to time intercourse to be as close to ovulation as possible. Try not to have intercourse any sooner than 24 hours prior to ovulation and no later than 12 hours after.
To increase your chances of having a girl, try to time intercourse for 3 or more days before ovulation. Remember - sperm can live for 5 days. Good luck!
