here is a link that i found for trying to conceive a girl...i didnt get to read it all but i thought i was a very interesting read so im going to add it for you all to get get that little bundle of joy in your arms 
Firstly some info on Cervical position and
distinguishing the different types of mucus.
Cervical Position
Low ~ Your cervix will be easy to reach, your finger
wont go right in, usually up to the first knuckle.
This means that you are not fertile at this point.
Medium ~ Your cervix will be mid way. Your finger will
go in deeper, to around your second knuckle. This
means you are in the transition to either be fertile,
or you are no longer fertile.
High ~ Your cervix will be hard to reach, some can't
reach it at all. You are very fertile at this point.
It is high to allow to get in nice and deep to put his
deposit right up to the opening of your cervix.
Firm ~ Your cervix will feel like the tip of your
nose. It will be smooth, almost like glass and will
appear to be smaller. This means that you are not
fertile at this point.
Medium ~ Your cervix will feel a little spongy. This
means you are in the transition to either be fertile,
or you are no longer fertile.
Soft ~ Your cervix will feel soft like your lips. It
will be wrinkly and well textured. It will appear to
be larger. You are very fertile at this point.
Closed ~ The dimple will be small and tight, your
cervix will feel flat around the dimple (like the
penis) This means that you are not fertile at this
point.
Open ~ The dimple will feel bigger, as you feel it,
your finger will dip into it. You will feel CM around
it easily. You are very fertile at this point.
Cervical Mucous
Internally
Dry ~ It will feel moist inside, but will dry on your
finger quickly. It will dry before doing the stretch
test. You are not fertile at this point.
Sticky ~ It will feel sticky and thick on your finger,
might break up or create a 'roll' when rubbed. It will
not stretch, but will form pointy peaks. You are not
fertile at this point.
Creamy ~ It will feel like lotion. It is the
transitional stage between fertile and infertile, and
so can range between thick and thin i.e. cream to
milk. It will not stretch, but form a wavy pattern,
very smooth and just giving a clue where it was
broken. This means you are in the transition to either
be fertile, or you are no longer fertile.
Watery ~ It will feel just like water. Your finger
will slip in easily. When you rub your finger and
thumb, it wont dry quickly, and will massage well.
Will not stretch. You are fertile at this point.
Egg White ~ It will feel very slippery inside. It will
massage very well and will not dry at all. It will
stretch well, from just a little to several inches.
Can be mistaken for seman. You are very fertile at
this point.
Externally
Dry ~ It will not mark or be found on your underwear.
You are not fertile at this point.
Sticky ~ It will create a line on your underwear. It
will feel sticky and thick, and will crumble when
aggitated. It will dry quickly and become hard like
cement. You are not fertile at this point.
Creamy ~ It will create a shape ranging from a line to
a circle on your underwear. Sometimes, a mixture of
both, i.e a thicker line, but an out line of a circle
from where it is in the transition. It will remain
lotion like as it will not dry very quickly. This
means you are in the transition to either be fertile,
or you are no longer fertile.
Watery ~ It will create a damp patch on your underwear
in a circular pattern, just as if water would mark it.
You are fertile at this point.
Egg White ~ It will create a damp, circular pattern on
your underwear, and you will possibly find a 'glob' of
the classic stretchy EWCM. You are very fertile at
this point.
Egg White Verses Seman
It can be difficult to distinguish between the two.
Here is how to tell apart...
1. Egg White will ball up and sink in Water and will
remain stretchy when retreived. Seman will float and
dissolve.
2. Egg White will stretch repeatedly. Seman may
stretch once or twice, but not for much longer.
3. Egg White is very shiney, and clear or slightly
opaque. Seman is less shiney and creamy.
4. Egg White will stretch to form several thin
strands. Seman will stretch with just one strand.
Why douche?
Dr Felix Unterburger had made observations with
respect to alkalinity and acidity and gender
predetermination. Women recommended to use an alkaline
douche (for overcoming fertility problems) conceived a
higher than usual number of boys. Other Doctors
followed up on Dr Unterburgers' findings with similar
results, an alkaline environment is preferential to
male sperm penetration of the ovum and an acidic
environment is preferential to female sperm
penetration of the ovum.
Where Dr Shettles method fails is the pH factor of the
reproductive tract and subsequent chemistry around the
ovum at the time of ovulation. He states that the
reproductive tract is always alkaline at the time of
ovulation, and acidic at all other times, which would
result in a much higher % of male births than has been
recorded in history. For every 100 females born there
are approximately 106 males.
We believe the pH of the cervical mucus, reproductive
tract, and follicular fluid must be taken into account
and with every month at the time of ovulation, the
conditions will be right for either conception of a
boy or a girl, not both. It is how Mother Nature has
been able to ensure a reasonably equal number of male
and female babies are produced each year. Timing your
conception attempt cannot change the acidity or
alkalinity of the follicular fluid within the
reproductive tract (even with orgasm) and so cannot
change which sex will be conceived if your ovum is
fertilized.
When a woman who is trying to conceive a baby boy and
times her conception attempt as close to ovulation as
possible, her success will depend upon the pH of the
reproductive tract at the time her ovum is released.
If it is alkaline she will be successful, however if
it is acidic she will probably conceive a baby girl.
If she uses an alkaline douche she is decreasing the
possibility of failure, as the alkaline douche is
favourable for male producing sperm.
Alternatively when a woman is trying to conceive a
baby girl and times her conception attempt several
days before ovulation, if the pH of the reproductive
tract is acidic at the time of ovulation she will be
successful, however if it is alkaline she may conceive
a baby boy (that is, if any of the Y bearing sperm are
still viable). If she uses an acidic douche she is
decreasing the possibility of failure, as the douche
will immobilise most of the male producing sperm.
Some of the popular methods used when ttc to conceive
girls
* Shettles: 3-day cut-off before O; after AF, BD
everyday until cut-off; use missionary
position/shallow penetration; no big "O" for woman.
* O+12 method: no ejaculation 7 days before O, then
one BD 12 hours after O.
* O+12 method: https://www.in-gender.com
* An acidic environment favors girl sperm and kills
male sperm. Creamy CM favors girl sperm. pH should be
below 7.00 (neutral). pH higher than that is alkaline.
When trying for a girl, a pH level around 5 or 4 is
best. Anything below that will probably kill the
sperm. (We're not doctors, all we can give you is our
opinions.)
* What foods are acidic? Alkaline? Check out this site
for a list of foods in each catagory:
https://www.essense-of-life.com/info/foodchart.htm
Please Note: Eat off the ALKALINE food chart. If you
eat off the acidic, it will make your body more
alkaline, and if you eat alkaline foods, it will make
your body more acidic. Your body tries to compensate
to get the right balance.
Tips & Techniques for TTC a Girl
Intercourse
You want to BD frequently from end of AF until OV or
until your cutoff, if using one. Recommended cutoffs
are from 2-3 days before OV
Missionary w/ shallow penetration is suggested as this
position deposits the sperm further from the cervix,
thus forcing the sperm to have to travel through the
creamy cm, which is more favorable to the girl sperm.
Avoiding the big "O", is also suggested, as it is
thought to produce more alkaline secreations, thus
favoring the boy sperm.
CM
When ttc a girl, ideally you want cm that is creamy.
No watery and ewcm as this favors the boy sperm.
Other Suggestions
Checking the pH of you cm is vital to understand how
girl friendly your cm is. You can purchase litmus
paper/pH strips. The best way to test your pH is after
checking your cervix position, do a sweep with your
finger and then pull out and rub the cm on the pH
paper. It will change color immediately indicating
your current pH. For ttc a girl, you want a pH between
4 and 5. Anything over 5 is boy favorable and anything
lower than 4 is to hostile to all sperm.
Vinegar or lemon douching is also helpful in making
your
vaginal tract more acidic and can aid the girl sperms.
(however this is not recommended unless advised by a
dr, as it can also rinse away useful bacteria and
cause infection)
Recommend Supplements
Cranberry: This is used to make your pH more acidic
and to dry up your cm and make it more creamy. The
amount depends on your specific body and how it
tolerates the cranberry. Some women take a small dose
around 1800mg, where others take up to 10,000mg. Begin
with a low dose and increase as necessary to achieve
desired results. Taken daily from AF till OV has been
confirmed.
Calcium/Magnesium: These supplements are the backbone
to making your environment girl friendly. Theory has
it that the calcium/magnesium help to attract the girl
(x) sperms to the egg. Dosage should be around Cal/Mag
1000/400mg. Taken daily from AF until OV has been
confirmed.
Vitamin D: This is important to help with calcium
absorption. Take one pill daily from AF until OV has
been confirmed.
Folic Acid: This is essential to anyone ttc, as it
helps prevent birth defects. Dosage is 400mcg-800mcg
daily.
Sudafed: This is used to dry up ewcm. Doesn't matter
what type and follow directions on the box. You can
use this leading up to OV or just before BD or only
when you notice ewcm. If taking before BD to dry up
ewcm, make sure and take it atleast an hour before
Vitex: This is a supplement that has had great reviews
for those that have gotten pg with a girl! Its also
great for those with irregular cycles. However, it
takes 3 months to get into your system and for some
women it can cause their OV to vary, be earlier or
come later. Follow suggested dosage and take from AF
until OV.
::Comments from Page::
I think the important point in doing a cutoff is finding the outskirts of your fertility. For each woman that is different because your environment is different and DH's sperm capabilities are different. So, that being said, some women can conceive dd's with a 3 day cutoff and some need a 6 day or more cutoff. The key is to start out as far as possible and work your way in. A 3-4 day cutoff will not work for everyone. Some will conceive boys because it isn't far enough for them, and some won't get pregnant at all. Again, you have to find the "outskirts" of your fertility. We tried 77 hours and nothing, 76 hours and nothing, 74 hours and I got pregnant and it's a girl. I think that's the main key to the Shettles cutoff.
