Pregnancy Gender Selection – a Chinese Child Birth Conception Chart
With a one-child policy in effect for two generations, the Chinese have it tough when it comes to raising a family. Gender selection at conception and pregnancy stages has always been an important consideration to the Chinese family as it is only the Son, and not the Daughter, that will eventually carries the family name. When it comes to selecting a child’s gender at birth, the Ancient Chinese provides a detailed and pretty impressive Pregnancy Gender Selection Chart.
Has anyone used The Shettles Method to conceive the gender you want?
Honestly my husband and I will be happy no matter what we have, I would be thrilled to have a little boy though. Then we’d have 1 girl and 1 boy. Anyhow, we are not TTC yet, but I am going to begin charting my BBT, CM, luteal phase, menstrual cycles, etc. so that I have an exact idea of when I ovulate.
So I am just curious whether anyone has used The Shettles Method before and been successful?
lol The Shettles Method:
According to the theory, male (Y) sperm are faster but more fragile than female (X) sperm. Further, acidic environments harm Y sperm, according to the theory, making conception of a girl more likely.
In order to have a boy insemination should occur as close as possible to the moment of ovulation so that the faster, Y-sperm arrive first and achieve conception, according to the theory. When seeking a girl insemination the couple should seek to have sex 2½ to 3 days before ovulation.
