    Not really sure if those kind of things work. Would definitely like to hear from someone for whom this has worked, that would be amazing,

    I have read multiple and sometimes contradictory statements
    like having intercourse before 2-3 days of ovulation for a baby girl
    having continous intercourse as well
    but havent read much reviews about the outcome

    Deethu,

    Yes, there are!
    If you're having regular cycle then you can plan for it. But, again if periods are irregular this will delay getting pregnant.

    Like you said, having intercourse before 2-3 days of ovulation for a baby girl &
    having continuous intercourse before, during ovulation for a BOY... Again, this will work out only if you've regular period cycle to plan.. Good luck !

    PPs are right... Female sperm is heavier and slower than male sperm and end up surviving longer. So that is the reason to have sex a few days before O. Gives them a chance to be the most of the surviving ones that will get to the egg. In fact, this is the reason why a lot of people who go through IVF, end up with female twins.

    Do the opposite for the boy.

    Hi,
    I also heard about the Chinese lunar chart which is accurate. Few of my friends followed the chart & had a positive results too.

    While the fact is softly correct, ie xx are active longer than xy, there is no guarantee whether xx(girl) or xy(boy) will join egg. ie, there is no guarantee that xy will not stay active longer nor there is any guarantee that xx does not merge with egg sooner.

    So, please be open to gender. I understand, if you already have a baby in one gender, then planning for another baby in other gender makes sense, but just wanted to highlight that there is no guarantee.

    PS: Didnt mean to be a kill-joy surrendersmiley
