This is because sperms with Y chromosomes, reason why boy babies are formed, swim faster than sperms with X chromosomes, responsible for baby girls, which means that they can get to the egg cell ahead. Then again, the Y sperm dies faster than the X sperm, hence, the intercourse should happen when it is almost or during ovulation, if not, Y sperm dies leaving X sperm to fertilize the egg.
Medical processes such as In Vitro fertilization (IVF) can be conducted to be sure that you'll have a son. This is because you can ask the doctor to simply implant a male embryo on your uterus.

Processes separating the X sperms from the X sperms like sperm sorting and Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis can also be made before IVF and AI for higher chances of getting a boy as a child. The said medical procedures can be costly and are only recommended to those who cannot have a baby or having a difficulty creating a child.
