Trying specifically for a boy or girl - gender selection kits

I apologize if there's a thread on this already, but I have a lovely DD and want to start trying soon for a boy. I have seen on-line various "gender selection kits" which seem to essentially involve ovulation predictor kits. I have also spoken with a friend who said to just make sure that you have sex on the day of ovulation, if you know what day it is from basal temperature, etc. Has anyone used the kits or specifically tried to have a boy/girl with success? Please let me know if this thread already exists. Thanks!

I've never seen these kits but sound interesting. They should work as I conceived my little boy on the day of ovulation. Second time round I wanted a girl so worked out my dates and I now have an 11 month old girl. I am lucky as I have cramps mid month to tell me I'm ovulating.If not I think I may well have tried one of these kits.
Good Luck

We've got a book by Hazel Chesterman-Phillips called Choose the sex of your baby the natural way (from WHSmiths, it think the NCT sell it as well). Basically same thing as has been said have sex at ovulation for a boy. We followed it and got a boy and are now using it to try for a girl. I could never follow the temp thing, so concentrated on looking for the pain/mucus that comes at ovulation instead.

I've just tried the planbaby site and it couldn't give me a result because of my biorhythyms or something....hope you have better luck.

Paula1 - I'm going to check that out. My friend who is a doctor swears that these kits work - she had 2 girls and was determined to have a boy, which she just did.

tinyfeet, I used www.planbaby.com with success, wanted and got a girl, it just seemed to involve a calendar and eating certain foods

I haven't seen these gender selection kits. Where do you buy them? How do they work?
