I only know of three things about sexual determination when getting pregnant--I read them both when I was working on my first: 1. A man is more likely to father a girl if he is older. (This differs with each individual man, so that's no good for determinant. Apparently the X sperms are more lively as a man gets older than the Y's are). 2. The X's have more stamina and the Y's have greater short term speed, so launching all sperm low in the vagina will favor the X's. Launching higher, nearer the cervix, tilts the odds more in favor of the Y's. 3. Acidity plays a part. The woman can eat highly acid foods or highly alkyline foods depending on which sex of child you want. UNFORTUNATELY, I can't quite remember if acid favors X's or Y's. You'll have to check that out yourself. If it's any help, I like acidic foods, and I had a girl. Good luck.
