Is gender swaying real?

So I have 2 boys at the moment and I'm hoping to get pregnant again soon, and I'd love a girl. I've seen online that you can 'sway' the gender of the baby in many ways, like using the Shettles method. Is this actually possible or is it a myth?

It’s determined by the sperm as far as I’m aware

Yeah, but the theory is male sperm swim faster but die quicker, so sex a few days before ovulation is more likely to conceive a girl...apparently!

There are 2 main 'swaying' techniques. One is shettles and I can't remember the name of the other.

They completely contradict each other - I think that says it all!

You get what you're given imo and nothing can influence this.
