Answer: Male sperm are thought to be weaker but faster than male sperm. It's thought that if you increase the overall number of sperm, you can raise the odds that a male sperm will reach the egg first. Keep in mind that newer studies have shown this not to be true. But it won't hurt to try to:  Sperm production is at its highest when the testes are slightly cooler than body temperature. The male partner should avoid hot tubs or warm laptops. Don't smoke or drink. Men who smoke and drink heavily are more likely to have low sperm count. If you're having a hard time quitting, talk to your doctor. Don't take illegal drugs, as they can slow sperm production. Avoid certain medications. A variety of medications can affect a man's fertility. Talk to your doctor if you have concerns. In general, aim to have sex in the narrow window starting 24 hours before ovulation and ending 12 hours after ovulation. During this time, conceiving a boy is more likely, because male sperm are thought to be faster. Researchers have shown that this is likely not true, but it's okay to try this method.  Avoid sex in the days leading up to ovulation. It is thought that this will help make the male sperm more concentrated. To find your ovulation date, calculate the day that is about 2 weeks before your next expected period. You can also purchase an ovulation kit at the drug store. Some people claim to have gotten pregnant with a boy by changing their diet. To try this, eat foods with lots of calcium. Try milk, yogurt, and leafy greens like kale. You can add more magnesium by eating foods like almonds, bananas, and tofu. Consult your doctor before making major changes to your diet. While its not backed by science, you might raise the odds of having a boy by making other dietary changes. Cut back on sodium by limiting foods like french fries, pretzels, and jarred pasta sauces.  You can cut back on potassium by limiting navy beans, cantaloupe, and beets. Remember that dietary changes are not proven to increase your chance of having a boy. It is possible that the ingredients in common cough syrups can thin the cervical lining, which would make it easier for the weaker male sperm to get through. Try following the dosage directions and taking some cough syrup shortly before sex. Make sure not to take for more days than recommended on the label without consulting your doctor. This herb has long been used in Chinese medicine as a tonic for the ovaries and uterus. Frankincense may help your body absorb more nutrients. This could make it a more hospitable environment for the less-sturdy male sperm.   Visit a health store and ask an herbalist how best to use frankincense. Make sure to ask your doctor before trying new essential oils.
