I would like to have a baby boy. Is there a way I can determine the sex of my baby?

Though there is no 100% guarantee method that can help one conceive a boy, here are some things fertility experts suggests you can try:
• Determine the ovulation time. Time your intercourse to raise the chances of having a boy. Have intercourse 24 hours before ovulation to 12 hours after ovulation. During this time, the slippery cervical mucus helps the Y sperm (which are fast, but weak) reach the egg faster than the X sperm (which are slow, but strong).
• Utilize sexual positioning to conceive a boy by deep penetration, such as a rear-entry position.
• Have orgasms during sex to conceive a boy.
• Avoid acidic foods to conceive a boy.
• Eat specific foods to raise the odds of having a boy, i.e. eat red meat, eggs, fish, beans, peas, mushroom.
• Encourage your partner to wear boxers instead of briefs. Tight-fitting underwear increases heat around the male testes and might possibly lower sperm count.
