Scientific studies have shown position and timing does not change your chances of having a boy or a girl. What determines gender is the sperm provided by the father, not the egg provided by the mother.
The only techniques which have succeeded in gender selection involve separating or destroying the sperm, such as through manual fertilization or sperm filtering. Both are expensive, and the latter is still experimental not used because it's less practical. Neither can be done at home nor are practical for most people.
People have tried for thousands of years. I guarantee the day they find a practical way to do this, people will use that instead of existing methods.
