Now Revised and Updated to Include the Latest Scientific Information and Even More Success Stories

For almost forty years, How to Choose the Sex of Your Baby has been the standard reference for couples trying to increase their chances of having the son or daughter they hope for. In this new edition of their classic book, Dr. Shettles and David Rorvik provide authoritative scientific studies and compelling anecdotal evidence demonstrating that the Shettles method continues to produce results unmatched by any other method. Dozens of testimonials confirm its ease of use and rate of success.

How to Choose the Sex of Your Baby
explains the simple, at-home, noninvasive Shettles method and presents detailed steps to take to conceive a child of a specific gender. The properly applied Shettles method gives couples a 75 percent or better chance of having a child of the desired sex. Some researchers have reported success rates of up to 90 percent!

   Summary: PRETTY INTERESTING
just started researching the topic and came across the shettles method. Just had to post this because i found this PRETTY FUNNY. i read that shettles technique is 85% accurate. Well if you look at the total reviews, the amount of 1 and 2 star reviews (people that the method did not work out for) added up to 16.7%. meaning that for @ 83.3% people this method worked. I just had to post this as i think it to be EERILY close to the predicted 85% success rate. when the time comes i will definitely use this method.

   Summary: Tried for a girl using Shettles, got a boy
I gave this two stars because some of information in the book is useful and may help in gender swaying. However, most modern research has disproven some of his core statements, such as that X and Y sperm move at different speeds (for example, new research suggests that there may be super X-swimmers, along with regular X-swimmers, which are faster than Y sperm even). Therefore, I think his emphasis on timing is not a safe way to sway, especially if you are trying to conceive a girl. X-sperm thrive in an acidic environment but the pH of the cervical mucous rises as ovulation approaches. So, if you have a 2-4 day cut-off and any Ys happen to survive (which they do, believe me!) they will be favoured by the alkaline egg-white cervical mucous that comes with ovulation, resulting in a boy. For this reason, unless you have a very low pH right up to conception and very little fertile cervical mucous, a cut-off does not guarantee a girl. Even with added supplements and diet this is not foolproof.

My personal experience: We had a 2-3 day cutoff, followed a girl diet and did everything else recommended for conceiving a girl. We had a boy.

I would not try to sway with Shettles again. If you do, be very sure that you will be happy with a child of the opposite gender. Shettles opposites occur far more often than you may think!

   Summary: Worked for us!
This worked for us! If you want a girl: missionary position, no female orgasm, early day in cycle (day 9). Good luck!

   Summary: It won't hurt to try!
I bought this book before I had either of my children. I read it & my husband & I followed the instructions. After a while we became anxious & just want a baby, period! We had our daughter 1st. The second time around we were a little less "hurried" so we really stuck with it. I knew the very time I got pregnant. I was plainly ovulating & everything just "fell together" perfectly. We had our son.

I'm not saying that this book is the reason why it all worked out, but maybe it helped. What is it going to hurt to try this method? The worst thing that can happen is you will have a beautiful baby girl or boy. If you don't get what you want, I will be glad to take it off your hands!

   Summary: Interesting, but maybe not exactly what you're looking for...
This book takes an in depth look at the whole history of sex selection, and it also presents/refutes several modern methods of choosing your child's gender (including the Dr. Shettles method, of course). I found this to be a really interesting read, but I feel like Toni Weschler's Taking Charge of Your Fertility, 10th Anniversary Edition: The Definitive Guide to Natural Birth Control, Pregnancy Achievement, and Reproductive Health is much more useful. If you are looking for an interesting study on gender selection methods, or if you are reading this after reading Dr. Weschler's book, you might enjoy this book or find it useful. However, if you are looking for the best way to increase your chances of having one gender over another, I say please read Taking Charge of Your Fertility first.
