There is a method, called the Shettles method, according to which it is possible to become pregnant with a boy or a girl depending on the time at which conception takes place.
According to this method, X sperm (which would give rise to a girl) are slower, but more resistant to vaginal acidity than Y sperm (which would give rise to a boy). Thus, the couple should schedule sexual intercourse up to 3 days before ovulation to favor having a girl, or on the day of ovulation to have a boy.
However, it is important to mention that the effectiveness of this method is quite questioned.
