Myths about things you can do to conceive a specific gender

I keep seeing people talk about doing certain things to get the gender they want, do you believe this is true or just a coincidence? I personally would be happy for either gender, however we have a DD so it would be nice to next have a DS but if it was another DD I would be just as excited.

I don't see how that could actually work? The one I thought was most likely to be accurate was trying only on the days you're ovulating as male live longer than female

There is Chinese calendar as well. It's fun to try.

I think it’s supposed to be that for a girl you have sex a few days before ovulation, but for a boy you have sex as close to ovulation as possible. This did hold true for us.
