Carrots, just found this utter bollocks highly informative report on babycentre...
You're more likely to conceive a girl if...
? You have sex earlier on in your cycle, a few days before your day of ovulation. This is because female sperm are thought to be stronger and therefore last longer than male sperm, who will die off before reaching the egg
? your partner reaches orgasm before you
? you have sex frequently to lower your partner's sperm count, and so increase the chances of the female sperm reaching the egg first
? you keep penetration shallow
? you stop having unprotected sex four to five days before ovulation, to minimise the chances of the male sperm reaching the egg first
? your partner keeps his genitals warm by wearing close-fitting underwear and tight trousers (although this isn't likely to do his general fertility any good!)
? you suggested the love-making
? you make love in the afternoon
? you make love on even days of the month
? you put a wooden spoon under your bed and a pink ribbon under your pillow
? you drink plenty of milk and eat dairy products such as cheese and yoghurt, unsalted foods, rice, pasta, certain vegetables, mineral water, limited amounts of meat and potatoes, but avoid salt and any salty foods, wine and beer, fresh fruit, spinach, tomatoes and mushrooms, chocolate, coffee and tea.
I think you should therefore immediately put a wooden spoon under your bed and a pink ribbon under your pillow - that is obviously the best way forward.
