Dr. Shettles died in 2003, and x and y sperm swim the same speed and live the same amount of time

 Correct me if I'm wrong - what Shettles perhaps found was that because x swim in a zig zag it takes them longer to get from A to B (compared to the straight swimming Y's) he just didn't realise it had nothing to do with speed.  So when swaying for girls you need to do all you can to imobalize or at least hinder those Y's?

ESSL1204:

x swim in a zig za

they do not.  they swim in circiles in not flow and they swim in zig zags in flow 

ESSL1204:

I dont think he reliazed there needed to be flow to make spem swim differerent. 

Also he didnt realize how minerals can effect sperm speed.  potassium pulls y sperm along at a much faster rait do to the fact that potassium forms chains and grabs y sperm

Ah-ha - I think I missread something somewhere along the line, I thought those x's did zig zag but now I remember reading about the circles too - so confusing at times.

'in flow'...sorry if I'm being stupid, does this mean in CM?

no its more complicated than just cm.  The body has flows of cm and other fluids

I'm sorry, just a bit confused now...do x sperm swim in circles or zig zag?  I'm assuming circles, but I just don't know what you mean by "in flow"

thanks :)

when looking in a scope you are looking for circles.  zigzags are in cm movement.. its how they swim in a 'river'

ooooh ok, gotcha...so I'll just focus on the slow big circles that the x sperm make...since under the scope they won't be swimming like in a river :)  thanks!

Can I ask...... do you know why X's swim in circles/zigzags and Y's swim in straight lines? I know X's DNA is heavier but why does this make them swim in a circle? Or is it just one of those things that have been observed but not understood?

Thanks.

because of the studies posted in the gold swaying forum

Righty! I will go and have a look.

Oh my gosh!  I decided to read through this post today.  I have to say, the more reading I do the more confusing and the more hopeless (and helpless) I feel.  I so have to convince my hubby to let me get the gold membership because maybe there is more info there that is less confusing. 

I was already thinking I am pretty sure I have two Shettles opposites, but don't quite get O+12 (I understand how, just not how to pinpoint my O, especially since I tend to ovulate twice)...Everyday I'm closer and closer to adjusting my diet and then leaving the rest up to God.  I do love that all you women are here though!!!

I have 2 Shettles babies who went the right way. Maybe he was wrong, but I would prefer to see studies and such rather than just a sweeping blanket statement.

go to google schooler and look it up!  there are 100's of studies showing x and y sperm swim the same speed and live the same amount of time.  One this is For SURE!  This is FACT!

Can you please provide me with links? I googled schooler and did not come up with anything. I also googled schooler and gender selection and came up with nothing. This is very important to me as I ovulate next week. Thank you so much!!!
