Sex 5-6 days before ovulation & pregnant - boy or girl?!

Hello,
i Know lots of people have opinions on the sometimes described theory of boy sperm being fast but not living long and girl sperm being slow but more resilient - not asking about if people think it's true or false! Just wondering for those of you who conceived 5-6 days before your ovulation date (and are sure of dates) - interested to know if you had a boy or a girl? Thankyou!

I have DS1 - sex every day during fertile week, twice on ov day

DS 2 - sex every day from my LH surge to the day after ov

this pregnancy - sex once on the eve of day 9 of a 28 day cycle, ovulation usually d14/15 but this time I think day 15 (testing for LH surge 4 x daily, was negative at 11am on day 13 and weak positive by 4pm strong positive by 9pm. BBT rise on day 16 - given the fact it tends to be about 36 hours between my LH surge and then I then get my temp rise I think i ov'd day 15. Have been charting temps etc for contraceptive methods for 5 years and know my cycle well.

interested to hear outcomes in similar situations! Thankyou xx
