Hi! We are looking to expand our family once again! We have three WONDERFUL little guys...3, 2, and 6 months. We would be thrilled with either a boy or girl for #4, but thought we would try some of the methods used to concieve a girl. I have read the Shettle's Method about ovulation tracking and timing. Though, would love to hear about anyone's experience with trying to select gender, and I am especially interested in hearing about how the foods that you eat can help play a role in all of this. I guess it's worth a try! Thanks.

What can I do next?

Hi,
I have three boys and I just had a little girl. After having three boys I still cannot believe that I have a daughter. I didn't think that it was possible! I researched all of the methods on line and kind of used a variety of different methods. I used Shettles method and I also used an ovulation kit so that I would know exactly when I was ovulating. As soon as the kit came up positive I stopped having sex. As crazy as it sounds I also swear by the chinese gender chart. Looking back it was correct on all three of my boys and it ended up being correct with my girl! Just be careful which one you use because some of them are not converted into lunar years. There is a really good one on thelaboroflove.com ... I wish you luck! Whether it turns up a girl or a boy, it's fun to try!

Hi C.,

There are so many so called scientific methods, and studies out there today, it gets so confusing. My husband and I read a book before we had our first called "Your Fertility Signals" by Merryl Winstein. We read that the first 4 days after your period are your most fertile days. The first 2 days are more chance for a girl, and the last 2 are more chance for a boy. Of course, God always gives us what we need, but, nonetheless, good luck! (And have fun trying) ;)

C.---sounds silly, but try the Chinese birth chart, We all (my family) found it after we had kids---but when we checked it---it came out right. If you go by your age (when you want to concieve) and what sex you are trying for, it will tell you what months are good for you.
Good luck--------------Kim

I have a girl gender select kit from Gen Select. I got pregnant before I had a chance to use it! I bought it for $200.00 and will sell it for $150.00........

I tired Shettle's Method and only did readings online as I did not have time for a full book read.
It seem to work for us. Baby #2 was a girl. I do not feel I ate anything different than with my first and actually had some of the same cravings. I do recall having a meet adversion - sometimes to beef and always with having to prepare raw meat - with my pregnancy.
I had regular 28 day cycles so I could plan accurately. I had planned to try using an ovulation monitor but I did not get to that.
Good luck!

We followed the guidelines form the Chinese.... for a girl, the woman needs to eat more red meat and the husband needs to stay away completely, and during sex the woman needs to come first... I know it sounds weird, but give it a try, the man needs to eat mstly chicken and fish,and veggies..... for a boy, reverse it, man eats all red meat, the woman stays away ... it worked for us! good luck....

This is far from scientific, but my friends and I had fun with this (when a few of us we pregnant at the same time.) We were already pregnant while looking at it- but this chart was right-on for predicting the gender of each of our children! It is based on an ancient Chinese calendar for predicting gender based on maternal age and month of conception. Definitely interesting!
