How to determine the sex
Sperm is the factor that decides whether the sex of the baby will be male or female.
The X chromosome makes a girl and the Y chromosome makes a boy.
The egg does not determine the sex at all.
There is a slightly higher chance of the sex ratio being a boy with 107 boys to every 100 girls born.

Tips
If you are determined to conceive a boy, the first thing to do is to work out your menstrual cycle so that you know exactly when you are ovulating.
There are kits that you can buy to measure slight changes in temperature which will pinpoint the exact day.

3. Abstain
Abstinence

The female sperm can live longer in the womb and is slower at reaching their target .
There is is a greater likelihood of the baby being a girl if the sperm has been there for longer.
4. Loose underwear
Why is it important?

Loose fitting boxers will allow the testes to drop away from the body and cool down when they get hot, which will give the sperm a greater chance of survival
5. Finding Out
Final word

Tales about spinning wedding rings or amount of morning sickness are simply guess work.
Whatever sex your baby turns out to be, he or she will bring joy to your life in ways you can only imagine.
