Its hard to say wether it worked or wether we just got lucky. I was desperate for a DS so followed it to the t and got our boy! X

I'm not a believer in Shettles, I think it's a little outdated. There are so many people on here who it was opposite for too.

To be honest, I'm not a fan of the 'Doctors', they've given so much misinformation on important subjects like breastfeeding and circumcision, crazy!

Cloud-dragon- no the female does not determine gender. Do they "attract" certain sperm or do certain sperm live better in certain environments? Probably. Makes sense, but the man is the only one who carries both male and female chromosomes and only when combined with the x egg does gender become determined. There's no real certain way to know if swaying is true but a lot of evidence supports it, more than shettles method. But as far as actually creating a male of female child relies on the man.

After I gave birth to DS#3, I swore that if Dr. Shettles weren't already dead, well...let's just say that he would be. I followed everything he said to have a girl...and got a boy. I wouldn't trade him for absolutely ANYTHING now, but I won't lie, at the time I definitely suffered from GD.

This time around, we're following the O+12 method and doing the girl diet along with the supplements, etc. I know it's not a guarantee, but it's definitely different than what we did last time and it's actually more to tilt the scales in a girl's favor, but one thing I know for certain is that I make pretty little boys, so either way, I'm okay! I just want a sweet little baby.

And just to be sure, this time we won't find out what sex the baby is until they put him or her on my chest!

Shettles didn't work for me. We made our daughter just on the O day + boy diet (O confirmed by opk)

I do believe that timing plays a role, only because if you dtd at 0+12, your ph is naturally dropping at this point, and in turn is more appealing to the x sperm. So I think timing does play a part, when using 0+12 to concieve...

I really think timing is the least important factor- I have conceived a boy on day 5 of my cycle! and a boy two days before ovulation. There are so many shettles opposites on this site if you have a search throuogh the sway attempts too so please don't kick yourself. I also don't think the man really does determine the sex - there are millions of sperm and they can't all be one gender, it's the egg that attracts either a negatively charged Y sperm or a positively charged X sperm...unless i am misunderstandingh what I have read in FAQ, Anyone?

It's just so hard to know., Boys run in my family big time too - maybe I'm just "madeE that way that my eggs attract Y sperm or ar emost hospitable to it... But thanks for the info on Shettles.

I don't place all that much faith in the Shettles method. My ds#3 was a shettles opposite. Since I had him, I have researched gender swaying quite a lot, and from what I can see, 0+12 has a much better success rate for concieving a girl. I have read about sooo many shettles opposites aswell......

Thanks. That makes me feel a bit better. I don't know doctors still mention Shettles tho. My OB also did. Maybe they're just ignorant on the topic.

Settles worked for me. DS1,3 were right before O. (DS2 uncertain) and DD was 4-5 days before O.
