A member asked:

I'm trying to have a boy. is it best to have sex on ewcm day or the day after (cramping or ovulation day)?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not specificly: It is the swimmer(sperm) who gets there first that determines the sex of the baby. There is no special position, tea, day of the month or whatever else you heard that makes any difference.
