Prince or Princes book?

Hi All,

I hope this is the right place to share my swaying experience. I've never heard of swaying for a gender before and as I was debating to try for a 3rd and last child, I looked at many options (natural vs un-natural) by google my search. I heard and read of different swaying methods and it all sounds promising. I didn't know where to begin. However, as I researched deeper, I discovered that Alicia Pennington book gave me the most promising attempt to get the gender of my choice.  I downloaded the book for $40 online and followed each of her steps in trying to conceive a boy. Seriously, I am not big on figuring out the terms, follow all the details, but this was so easy to follow/read (and humorous too). I believe I am pregnant with a boy (if the ultrasound picture looks correct) now and pray for a smooth pregnancy until I deliver in October.

 Anyway, I'm not here to advertise for her, but just wanted to share with you my experience.  I've thought about IVF with gender preference process (did many interview screenings), but the price tag was too steep for me and the success rate is not 100%; therefore I came to term with this book.  In the process of trying for our 3rd one, I told myself I would be ok if I have another girl (success rate is 83% according to Alicia).  I know many of you are seeking the same thing, like I did and I wish you nothing the best.  If you're stuck, maybe you should give this book a chance. Its not published anywhere, only online.

thanks for sharing your experience, it really is altruistic, if somebody shares something after when one doesnt need it anymore for themself.

Can you please expleain shortly, what is it based on this book (which factors and swaying techniques), i am especially interested for a girl....because there are also other books similar....what was there so special mentioned or written that it is not for example on IG?

From the excerpts I read it's a combination of shettles theory (male sperm are faster but live shorter, female are slow but hearty) and the ph diet. Se mentions and refers several times to males not living longer or female being faster and that's simply not true. She does state the ph diet accurately though but the information about sperm speed and longevity is not accurate.

I am new at different methods/theory.  I did a quick summary everything I read on the internet and I just find the reading to be confusing or the detail is little hard to follow through.  My first two kids, I didn't sway (honestly I've never heard of it before and found out about it before we tried for our 3rd). I am that type of person that if there is too much detail thrown at me, I might be confused and do it all wrong.  I thought Price or Princess was really easy to follow through. I had to change my diet 3 months prior to trying.  She talks about the positioning, timing and diet, which I am confident matches to the other methods. For me I didn't have time to read her book, so i bought the audio version and listened to it at work for weeks and the process just slowly sunk in my head.

I think I've read in many articles and websites that male sperm live shorter than female and male swims faster too. 

Again, I don't know if I'm just lucky that i finally conceived the gender of my choice or her method really worked.  I just want to share what worked for me.  Nothing is guarantee, not even IVF, right?

Yes she I'd have the diet, ph and position very accurate, which I believe is what gr you your DG (congrats btw!!!) I just meant about the sperm longevity and speed. All the articles are based on shettles method. It since his death sooo much research has gone into proving that wrong, there's an article here on IG that shows with each sample given, from FR, abstinance, normal release there was an equal number of male and female and they swim the same speed which is why timing is the least important factor. Im very glad the book made thigs more simple for you there is so much info it can be so overwhelming!! I agree that diet and ph seem to have the biggest effect!

i know shettles theory has been shown wrong in SOME WAYS, like longer living and speed of the sperm...but when i swayed for my 3rd, i havent known about nothing just shettles, only at the end of my swaying attempts, i found this page, and saw other factors....but it is interesting that it is already in Shettles book mentioned the "potential" of discovering ph, so he acctually has given the way to it, and he did notice that it is an effect, the diet...as it is also mentioned in his last book that i have, one special page about ph, and that this should be in future combined with timing to achieve better results....so i understood......but i still dont understand why alll this about the sperm longevity and speed is diminished, if he described in his book that this is TRUE....from my own experience it didnt work, so i dont believe only in Shettles and i never will, but how can his researches based on evidence showed the difference in speed and longevity of sperm?

His work is based on theories. In a certain number of his patients it worked for, obviously not all of them. Just because he wrote a book and some people had success does not make it true. Dont get me wrong, he was probably on to some breakthroughs, but as far as speed and longevity it just isn't the case. In recent years (remember his work is over 30 years old), studies were done on samples given by men in different circumstances and each sample proved to have the same amount of males and females per batch and also showed CONSISTENTLY (big key word there) that an equal number of male and female sperm had survived at the end of an elotted time period. Now there is the "super X" theory, and the direction of swimmers but this can be effected by a number of factors. I too dont hold true to Shettles and wouldn't go for his method, which is why timing is the least important factor. Hope that helps!
