Interesting read but didn't work for us!,
By A Customer
This review is from: How to Choose the Sex of Your Baby (Paperback)
This book is a fascinating read to learn about e.g., the characteristics of male and female sperm and how you COULD PERHAPS try and influence the gender of your baby in many ways.We were hoping for a boy (which is claimed to be much easier to target than a girl if you follow instructions) and followed the advice set out in this book very carefully with temperature readings (BEFORE getting out of bed in the morning!), etc. but still ended up with a very lovely and active baby girl (perhaps she came from a very fast female sperm who just made it there before the boys) whom we absolutely adore! We are not holding out much hope for these methods for our next child, but perhaps I will consult the book again - why not? it may work second time around! But don't hang all your hopes on it.

Thank Goodness For Dr. Shettles!,
By A Customer
This review is from: How to Choose the Sex of Your Baby (Paperback)
After 3 boys and wanting 4 children...we thought it would do no harm to try for a girl. Dr. Shettles book is most informative, explains in laymans terms and makes a whole lot of sense. So we tried....and Voila!! We welcomed our darling daughter into the world in July 1997! We had been told we had an 8% chance of a daughter after 3 sons....but the method makes so much sense I was sure I was carrying a girl. Good Luck and this is a MUST BUY book for those who really want to try for a certain sex....as long as you will be happy to have a healthy child above all.

Use with Caution!!,
By Cath (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: How to Choose the Sex of Your Baby (Paperback)
We tried this method twice to try for a daughter. I had been charting for years so I knew my cycle well. We followed his advice to the letter and are the proud parents of 2 sons! I would advise people to do their research. I have found other methods that say to do the opposite of Dr. Shettles. So if you want to try just for fun go for it but know that you may not get what you want.
