DD was conceived on what was O-4 according to my dating u/s. Same story as you, that's the only time we had sex in my fertile window. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-talk-shettles#post-2505538 Thu, 24 Mar 2016 12:40:30 +0000 Truth Bombs 2505538@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was totally true for my son. I thought I was 48 hours past O so we didn't use protection (we weren't TTC but a pregnancy would have been [and was] happily welcomed), and I ended up pregnant with a boy. With my daughter we had sex every other day before and around O so who know which day did the trick. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-talk-shettles#post-2505535 Thu, 24 Mar 2016 12:36:35 +0000 dc yoga bee 2505535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Shettles says my daughter should've been a boy as well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-talk-shettles#post-2505533 Thu, 24 Mar 2016 12:36:09 +0000 LindsayLou 2505533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Shettles says our daughter should have been a boy, so I don't put much stock in it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-talk-shettles#post-2505530 Thu, 24 Mar 2016 12:34:14 +0000 ModernDayJibarita 2505530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>True for us. DTD O-1 and O day and we are having a boy :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-talk-shettles#post-2505523 Thu, 24 Mar 2016 12:28:21 +0000 catomd00 2505523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pretty much same story as you with our first - she's a girl. DD2 we DTD every day for 2 weeks straight until I was sure I had ovulated. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-talk-shettles#post-2505508 Thu, 24 Mar 2016 12:18:06 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2505508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son I think was conceived like right around when I ovulated. This one I got a positive OPK and we had sex that day and not again because we went away to visit family. So not sure what day I actually ovulated (hadn't really uses opks before, wasn't temping, etc). So maybe I was o-1 or 2?! It's a girl this time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-talk-shettles#post-2505472 Thu, 24 Mar 2016 12:05:35 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2505472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ShootingStar: Agree, although I think timed (maybe O-3 through O+2) probably have a good 50/50 chance. But anything outside that window may tend to have higher rates of boys/girls. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-talk-shettles#post-2505455 Thu, 24 Mar 2016 12:00:12 +0000 ShootingStar 2505455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think there is some truth in Shettles. I think more babies conceived with timed intercourse or IUI end up being boys. But I also think the composition of some mens' swimmers may tend to have more of one sex than the other. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-talk-shettles#post-2505429 Thu, 24 Mar 2016 11:36:00 +0000 coopsmama 2505429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Shettles was right for both of ours. We will see about this one tomorrow. (Should be a girl if so.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-talk-shettles#post-2505420 Thu, 24 Mar 2016 11:31:51 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2505420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both of my girls were like O-5 so I can believe it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-talk-shettles#post-2505321 Thu, 24 Mar 2016 10:46:09 +0000 winniebee 2505321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsKoala: I don't think I believe it either...we weren't trying for one or another....we just had sex once and then I got the stomach bug, so that was it for that cycle :shocked: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-talk-shettles#post-2505318 Thu, 24 Mar 2016 10:44:52 +0000 Adira 2505318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's BS, but it was true for both my boys. :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-talk-shettles#post-2505303 Thu, 24 Mar 2016 10:39:22 +0000 MrsKoala 2505303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In my mind, it's total BS. LO was also O-4 and according to Shettles, he'd be a girl. I don't put any stock in any method you try that influences what sex you get over another. I think they're all bunk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-talk-shettles#post-2505295 Thu, 24 Mar 2016 10:37:11 +0000 lovehoneybee 2505295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS was conceived O-2, and DD was conceived on O. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-talk-shettles#post-2505290 Thu, 24 Mar 2016 10:34:19 +0000 snowjewelz 2505290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not true for us. I'm pretty sure DD was conceived on O or right before/after! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-talk-shettles#post-2505287 Thu, 24 Mar 2016 10:31:38 +0000 pwnstar 2505287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Although we weren't trying for a particular sex, based on Shettles, this baby should be a girl, but it's definitely a boy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-talk-shettles#post-2505285 Thu, 24 Mar 2016 10:29:42 +0000 winniebee 2505285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We accidentally used the Shettles method getting pregnant for this baby. We had sex once, just once, in my fertile window, and according to dating ultrasound, that was 4 days before O. So, Shettles would say it's a girl. I already have 2 boys and am expecting that the third will be a boy, too. They were both conceived O-1 or O-2, so would be correct if Shettles actually works. </p> <p>So, share your Shettles stories. Do you think Shettles is total BS? Was it right for you? </p>
