It was the one random day that I felt better. :) I felt ovulation pain 2 hours afterward, so I assume I ovulated pretty close to when we did it. And we now have a little girl who's almost 2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sex-once-and-it-was-close-to-ovulation-means-boy#post-2740398 Thu, 25 May 2017 18:33:43 +0000 pachamama 2740398@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not sure about those methods but there is a 50% chance you're having a boy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sex-once-and-it-was-close-to-ovulation-means-boy#post-2740240 Thu, 25 May 2017 15:05:22 +0000 Mrs.Pinecone316 2740240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think these theory guesses are like any wives tale. I had a girl with IVF for my first and my second I had sex once like 3 days before ovulation and I'm pregnant with another girl. I did think it was a girl based off that theory though since it wasn't right at ovulation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sex-once-and-it-was-close-to-ovulation-means-boy#post-2740198 Thu, 25 May 2017 14:28:02 +0000 LCTBQE 2740198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@liz: there are a LOT of threads about shettles on hb, with about half of people saying it worked and half saying it didn't work: so I'll go out on a limb and sa that means it doesn't work, it's a bullshit theory that's more "for fun", and it's still a 50/50 (actually 51/49?) shot that you have no control over. Enjoy and congratulations on your boo :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sex-once-and-it-was-close-to-ovulation-means-boy#post-2740147 Thu, 25 May 2017 13:40:18 +0000 avivoca 2740147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never tried Ramzi because I didn't get copies of my early ultrasounds (both were in the ER). BUT we DTD both days I would have had positive ovulation tests last and we had a girl. She's 7.5 months now.</p> <p>That being said, it's really a 50/50 shot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sex-once-and-it-was-close-to-ovulation-means-boy#post-2740041 Thu, 25 May 2017 11:40:11 +0000 skipra 2740041@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ramzi was wrong for 2/3 of my kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sex-once-and-it-was-close-to-ovulation-means-boy#post-2740011 Thu, 25 May 2017 10:50:12 +0000 bees_knees 2740011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With our first, we DTD 3/4 days before O only--boy.<br /> With our second, we DTD only on the day before O--also a boy :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sex-once-and-it-was-close-to-ovulation-means-boy#post-2739934 Thu, 25 May 2017 09:23:58 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2739934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@liz: I really don't believe that stuff works. I *think* with both kids we were having sex every day during the fertile period and had one of each. Don't know what our third is yet and don't know when I ovulated anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sex-once-and-it-was-close-to-ovulation-means-boy#post-2739899 Thu, 25 May 2017 08:33:44 +0000 snowjewelz 2739899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With my first I did it the day my OPK showed positive and I had a girl. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sex-once-and-it-was-close-to-ovulation-means-boy#post-2739897 Thu, 25 May 2017 08:32:11 +0000 liz 2739897@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs D: OMG LOL, see ??

The month we conceived our second, we had sex exactly one time, on or around ovulation, and that sort-of-surprise baby is a girl. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sex-once-and-it-was-close-to-ovulation-means-boy#post-2739814 Thu, 25 May 2017 06:46:16 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2739814@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had sex the day of my positive ovulation test and it's a girl. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sex-once-and-it-was-close-to-ovulation-means-boy#post-2739811 Thu, 25 May 2017 06:27:35 +0000 LBee 2739811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Welcome to Hellobee! </p> <p>I believe Shettles has been disproven. If you think about it, the existence of boy / girl twins (non-IVF) sort of disproves it in general. </p> <p>Either way, I had sex every day in a 7 day window before and 1 day after ovulation. Pretty much did the exact same pattern for both kids and have a boy and a girl on the way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sex-once-and-it-was-close-to-ovulation-means-boy#post-2739809 Thu, 25 May 2017 06:14:30 +0000 liz 2739809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been following the Shettles method for a couple of months now, but one night got carried away with DH, ignored it all, and had sex on the same day as my positive ovulation test :meh: </p> <p>I was just wondering how many people still conceived a girl even though they had sex on ovulation day ? I had my first ultrasound last week and everything went well, I was supposed to be 7 weeks but my doctor said baby look more like 6 weeks and 5 days so maybe means I ovulated 2 days later than I thought ? HB was good 160.</p> <p>Searching on internet I came across to Ramzi theory, and found another page called Gender Expert Team, I summited my first ultrasound picture and they guess A BOY. according to this method is 97 % accurate. I have a feeling is going to be a boy according to my timing and based that " my placenta" is implanted on the right side. Has anybody used Ovulations test and just had sex when positive and still have Daughter ? Have Ramzi theory was wrong for you ?
