Do you have a boy?: If you already have one or more boys, in vitro fertilization with preimplantation genetic diagnosis (ivf with pgd) can be used to select female embryos to replace. Sometimes you don't get what you want if all the good embryos are male. Not recommended for your first pregnancy. Microsort, a sperm-sorting method, is no longer available in the usa. All other methods you read about online don't work.

Few options: There are a couple of ways to influence the gender of a child. Generally they involve fertility treatments in the form of insemination to increase the number of male or female sperm or with ivf and testing the pregnancy to see if it is male or female before finishing treatment. Overall naturally the chances are about 50% for each gender and that is really controlled by the sperm.
