"These are scams in the highest tradition of Americana going back to the time of PT Barnum," says fertility specialist Dr. Ralph Kazer.

 "..there is no good scientific evidence that either of these kits works, says Frederick Licciardi, MD, a reproductive endocrinologist at New York University School of Medicine."  

What would he think of theories bounced around here - Since he says its 50/50. ;)  Think he might think we're all scamming ourselves as well?

The big difference between IG and pay for sights is IG has everything for free.  On ingender you aren't waisting 100's of dollars for theories that are already free. 

I wasn't meaning to compare 'other' sites to IG...just wondering if this doc gives any credence to ANY low tech means of gender swaying, kwim?  I understood that he felt that gender was about 50/50 and that is why these sites were scams, kwim?  Thinking he might think we're all a bit nutty. lol.

Sham... 

I bought one of those kits where you pee in a container with powder. kind of like a drano test I suppose..I guess I can't say which company.  The kit only costs about 35 bucks, so I figured what the heck.  I did the test at 11 weeks (it recommends doing anytime from 10 weeks on).  I followed the directions exactly, and the result was dark green, which said I was to have a BOY.  I have a 16 year old daughter, and am re-married and due Feb. 1 '09.  I was really excited to see it could be a boy, and my pregnancy is SO completely different than it was with my daughter, so I thought it might be a boy because of that also.  I also have been to just about every website for gender prediction charts, calendars, etc. and they all said BOY.  I also took primrose oil tablets a few months before I conceived and did all the recommended things to conceive a BOY.

I was surprised at my 21 week ultrasound last week to discover there is the 80% chance (the tech said) that it is actually a GIRL again.

The baby looked healthy which is, of course, the most important thing....however I am just a little frustrated that I have wasted so much time, money and energy and heard nothing but BOY up to last week.   I was hoping to have one of each, as this pregnancy was hard on me (morning sickness, emotions, etc), and although this will be a first child for my husband, I really don't think I want to go through it again..

My point being...buyer beware- don't let the gimmicks fool you!
