First day of LMP is day 1.
Ovulated on day 14.
Conceived on day 15.
Having a girl.

I can't remember which way round it is though. Isn't the theory that X sperm hang around longer, but Y are faster, so that if you want a girl you have sex before ovulation and afterwards for a boy?

DS was conceived on day 14 of a 28 day cycle

DD was conceived on day 8 of a 28 day cycle.

Don't know when I ovulated, but presume it was after DD was conceived

Ds was conceived on day 17 of a 30 day cycle, no idea when I ovulated!

had sex up to and including the day of ovulation and both times had a boy which fits with the theory.

Boy, but no idea - about day 100!
LMP says I should have given birth a few months ago...

I think there might be something in those theories about boy sperm being faster but dying sooner, and girl sperm being slower but more robust (hare and tortoise!) - sex on Day 13, ovulated on Day 15, and yes, I already know it's a girl
