How to plan pregnancy for a boy or a girl

If you are planning your pregnancy to have either a boy or a girl. You might want to try this out which was shared by my mum which works for me.

Below are my mum's recommended formula:

1) day 1 -mentrual cycle started
2) day 7 -mentrual cycle ended
3) day 10 till 16 -for a girl, plan to have sex any of these period. After that, any subsequent days which you are planning to have sex, please use a condom. Thi is to avoid crossing over to step 4.
4) day 17 till 23 -for a boy, plan to have sex any of these period.

Note: The above might only apply to ladies with regular monthly mentrual cycle. As for the guys, also has a role to play too, please accumulate his sperm (not to ejaculate) for at least 2 to 3 weeks.

Hope it works for you! Happy trying!
