It doesn't matter. Each of his sperm will carry either an X or Y chromosome. Whichever one fertilizes your egg determines the gender. You are just as likely to have a girl as you are to have a boy.

It's a 50-50 shot.
However, it is the male's sperm that determines the baby's sex. Women always have the X chromosome (girl). If the male's X chromosome gets to the egg...you'll get a girl. If his Y chromosome gets there, Boy.
I've heard that the timing of your cycle can help with getting one sex more often than other.
Good luck.

The same thing was in my sisters partners family, they had two boys and when she fell pregnant for a third time the family told her it would be another boy. She had a girl, she's now two.
So yes you can have a girl, it's always 50/50.
