We were looking for something a bit more detailed on the Shettles Method and got more of an overview of the various sex-selection methods, most of which were clinical. While I laugh at myself for thinking that we can determine our babies gender with diet, cycle tracking, and various other methods, I also think it can't hurt. At the same time, we weren't at all interested in clinical methods because of the cost, time, and because more than anything, we want a healthy baby... it would just be nice to have at least one girl in the house other than me! So! If you're looking for something to help you understand the available methods of sex-selection, this book is great. However, if you're looking for something that will help you increase your chances of one gender over another, I'd try a different book.
