A myth: No such thing, please don't listen, gender selection of conceived babies is somehow possible, an expensive process though, consult an infertility specialist, goodluck

Same as for girls: The sex chromosome carried to the egg by the sperm determines the sex of the baby. It is not influenced by special timing, position, diets or anything else you may have heard of. If the boy carrying sperm gets there first, that is what you get.The chance is random.
