Though many gynecologists do not agree, studies done by Dr. Landrum Shettles, considered to be one of the most influential fertility experts in the United States, found that deciding on the gender of a baby is possible using the "Shettles method".

In this method, it was found that men produce two types of sperm, the X (female) and Y (male). According to Dr. Shettles, the Y-sperm are smaller and weaker, but faster than X-sperm, which are bigger, stronger, more resilient and able to survive for longer once released. By carefully timing intercourse in relation to ovulation, couple should theoretically be able to use this difference to their advantage.

This theory has not been proven, and so far there is no easy way to predict the conception of a boy or girl. Some experts claim that doing all this leads to resentment of your child, and the best thing to do is take what you get and love them.
