That's true in theory, but in practice it doesn't seem to work out so well... I want to conceive soon, and I looked into this stuff because I thought it'd be interesting to try. You're talking about the theory behind the Shettles method, but there's no trial that clearly supports it, just testimonials from his practice, and testimonials are always biased towards successes. No large trials have been done to test pre-conception gender-selection because they require that couples have sex only once a month, and most couples can't seem to do that.

The small trials show it's about a 50/50 chance at any point in the cycle. There may be a slightly higher chance for boys at ovulation, and a slightly higher chance for girls on the days before and after ovulation, but I'm talking a 55-60% chance, not the 70-80% chance that Shettles claimed. His theory sounds good though, better than the explanations for the other methods out there, so I may try it out anyway.
