Looks like it's all over the place, so I'm not taking much stock in the TCoYF/Shettles method.

Our first is a girl and it's too early to know the sex of this baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/just-for-fun-1#post-1338186 Sat, 11 Jan 2014 17:39:09 +0000 ChiCalGoBee 1338186@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So interesting to hear everyone's experience! Thank you for sharing! @mae the book basically talks about Shettles, which says that Y sperm swim faster but live less time than X sperm, and X sperm aren't as fast but linger longer. The theory is that boys usually come from DTD on O day or O within 24 hours, and girls come from DTD further out? Again, I'm no expert, just sharing what I understood from the book! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/just-for-fun-1#post-1338161 Sat, 11 Jan 2014 17:24:17 +0000 lawbee11 1338161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We DTD on O-2 and O. But on O day we DTD really late at night. When I realized I O'ed that day I was really excited because I thought our chances for a girl might be high and we had a girl :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/just-for-fun-1#post-1338153 Sat, 11 Jan 2014 17:20:56 +0000 mlm2934 1338153@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish I knew what we are having so I could vote, I'll let ya know in about a month :) but do think conceived within 24hrs </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/just-for-fun-1#post-1338146 Sat, 11 Jan 2014 17:18:00 +0000 Bao 1338146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I could only vote once so voted conceived 2-4 days before and had a girl. I'm having a girl this time as well, same thing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/just-for-fun-1#post-1338115 Sat, 11 Jan 2014 16:57:45 +0000 Mae 1338115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know if she is "supposed" to be a girl or boy, but the only possibility for making her was O-1, and she is a girl. Is that in line with what they predict? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/just-for-fun-1#post-1338111 Sat, 11 Jan 2014 16:56:01 +0000 lilteacherbee 1338111@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmm I dunno how it worked for us. We DTD on O day and O-2 and we have a boy. Guess it could have gone either way! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/just-for-fun-1#post-1338106 Sat, 11 Jan 2014 16:54:12 +0000 autumnlove 1338106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't never read that chapter...going find my copy now! :-p </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/just-for-fun-1#post-1338103 Sat, 11 Jan 2014 16:53:13 +0000 ChiCalGoBee 1338103@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just finished TCoYF, and read through the chapter on "picking" a baby's sex. Clearly there are 50-50 odds and ALL that matters is a healthy baby*, but I wondered what you ladies had found to be true/false for yourselves? Feel free to comment below, too.</p> <p>*Again, I'm not trying to ruffle feathers and know that a healthy pregnancy is all that matters! This is just for fun! :wink: </p>
