Egg quality & influencing baby’s sex

Hi ladies

This is a bit odd maybe but I’m approaching 40 and have an issue with genetics affecting boys. It took a while last time but we managed to conceive a girl. Had to go through 6 losses to ge there though.
Now almost 10 years later and I’m finally ready to try for no2. Sadly I’ve had a chemical pregnancy this cycle and a mc 5 months ago.
Just wondering if there’s a way to boost egg quality and try and influence a girl again. Screening isn’t an option due to cost where I live sadly and I really want to try and reduce my chances of going through the same thing again.
Any supplements, timings or diet suggestions that have worked for others?

Thanks

Have a look at genderdreaming.com Most of the common theories about timing sex seem to be disproven now. Her theory is that it has a lot to do with preparing a woman's body/eggs to be more receptive to x sperm rather than y, with diet and exercise being the biggest things you can influence. As I understand it, for a girl you need to est a low calorie, low nutrient diet and either do lots of cardio or no exercise at all, avoiding weights. Unfortunately most of her suggestions to conceive a girl are things that also lower fertility. However advanced age is one of those things so that's already in your favour.

I'd concentrate on boosting egg quality with Ubiquinol. Google it but it's one of the few supplements that have no side effects , and it worked for me. Accupuncture too once that opens up again.

Thanks ladies. Hopefully it works. TTC my second and last and would really love to keep the losses low. Took 6 last time and had 2 recently so would love attempt 3 to be a healthy sticky 🤞🏻
