Did anyone "choose" their babies gender?

Good Morning!
My DH and I have two beautiful daughters that we love more than anything. We are starting to think about expanding our family again and having another baby. However, we both would LOVE to have a little boy. Of course we would be happy either way, but this would be our preference.
Has any one out there used any of the "methods" you can google to conceive the genter of your choice? If so, what did you do? Did it work? Any info anyone has would be great!

TIA
Trying to tip the odds in our favor....

Hi fellow mom I saw this post and had to respond asap! My husband and I have 4 boys and on pregnancy #2 and #3 we just knew they were going to be girls and had tried every girl "position" in the world. We finally agreed last time is the charm and have decidied to wait to know the gender of our 5th child. I saw this because I know that feeling of no matter what the gender its my child but I really want a _____. If and when you decide of expanding just know if it takes up to number 5 it all happens for a reason but the last time might be the charm!

Signed Hopefully getting my little girl

Nope but I did chose their names. I also chose what they work for the first few years of their lives.

My first 2 were boys and I read about having a girl. Might have been a coincidence that I did have my girl the 3rd time.

What I did to have the girl is conceive her later in the fertilization window. I had read that female sperm live longer than the male sperm so it worked for me.

Wish I remembered the name of the book.
