But my daughter was conceived on O day so she "should" have been a boy according to the theory. There's no way to guarantee having a specific gender other than doing IVF with pre genetic testing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shettles-method-1#post-2457671 Thu, 11 Feb 2016 06:53:55 +0000 ValentineMommy 2457671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LCTBQE: Congrats!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shettles-method-1#post-2457609 Thu, 11 Feb 2016 01:00:08 +0000 QBbride 2457609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LCTBQE: congrats! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shettles-method-1#post-2457600 Thu, 11 Feb 2016 00:32:15 +0000 Mrs Panda 2457600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LCTBQE: congrats!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shettles-method-1#post-2457549 Wed, 10 Feb 2016 23:16:54 +0000 LCTBQE 2457549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pwnstar: @MissGemini: @gingerbebe: @MrsKoala: @skipper2010: @Hoots: @MoonMoon: @clover: @dc yoga bee: @QBbride: @Mrs Panda: @T.H.O.U.: all right ladies, I am thrilled to have gotten the news today that we are having a BOY (!!!) who was unquestionably conceived 0-5. calling bullshit on the Shettles Method, I think it's totally a toss-up :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shettles-method-1#post-2452741 Sun, 07 Feb 2016 13:26:03 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2452741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do think anything in O-3 to O+3 could be a 50/50 toss up. But I do wonder if there is more accuracy the further from O you go in either direction. My daughter was way before O and a girl, this baby was also way before O but we don't know yet. I'm unsure of when my son was conceived but it was probably in the normal fertile window. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shettles-method-1#post-2452423 Sun, 07 Feb 2016 00:33:45 +0000 Mrs Panda 2452423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did try to time for girls both times loosely using the method, and got girls both times. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shettles-method-1#post-2452393 Sat, 06 Feb 2016 23:01:31 +0000 QBbride 2452393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never tried for one sex or the other but my DD was conceived on what was 0-4 (according to my dating u/s) so i thought she'd be a girl! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shettles-method-1#post-2452352 Sat, 06 Feb 2016 22:08:49 +0000 dc yoga bee 2452352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We weren't trying to sway, and had sex right at ovulation, so DD should be a DS, and she's all girl! If you're really interested, there's theories about woman's ph being more hospitable to male or female sperm that supposedly has more teeth to it then shettles. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shettles-method-1#post-2452238 Sat, 06 Feb 2016 19:34:17 +0000 LCTBQE 2452238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm pregnant right now and this fetus was conceived 5 (!) days before ovulation. I was pretty curious about the Shettles method, too, but from the answers above and this post that I found a while back, it sounds like bullshit? I actually googled "hellobee shettles" and there are a bunch of posts on the topic that all make it looks wildly inconsistent; i.e. not more reliable than 50% chance. I'm hoping to find out my gender this week, so we shall see :)</p> <p><a href="http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-thr-shettles-method-accurate-for-you" rel="nofollow">http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-thr-shettles-method-accurate-for-you</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shettles-method-1#post-2452201 Sat, 06 Feb 2016 18:37:50 +0000 clover 2452201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>According to Shettles both my kids should be boys. We actually followed the recommendations when we conceived DS but I had read enough not to believe in it when we conceived DD. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shettles-method-1#post-2452195 Sat, 06 Feb 2016 18:08:19 +0000 PrincessBaby 2452195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were trying for a boy and according to Shettles, our 2nd DD should be a boy. But it feels stupid to type that bc she is so amazing that I don't even care that I'll never have a son. I love having my two girls. We are not planning on a 3rd but if for some reason that happened, I wouldn't try to "sway" one way or the other bc it doesn't matter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shettles-method-1#post-2452165 Sat, 06 Feb 2016 17:17:20 +0000 MoonMoon 2452165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We weren't trying for one or the other, but based on ovulation timing, if I understand correctly, my son should be a girl! He's clearly not! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shettles-method-1#post-2452106 Sat, 06 Feb 2016 15:49:05 +0000 Hoots 2452106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DD should be DS according to both the Shettles method and the Chinese gender calendar. :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shettles-method-1#post-2452102 Sat, 06 Feb 2016 15:39:40 +0000 skipper2010 2452102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Worked for me. My boy was conceived on O day when EWCM was in abundance, and my girl was conceived 3 days before O. I know its 50/50, but from what I've seen in my circle there seems to be some truth to it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shettles-method-1#post-2452052 Sat, 06 Feb 2016 13:54:41 +0000 MrsKoala 2452052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Based on Shettles, my son should be my daughter. I really don't think it's a theory that you can put much stock into. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shettles-method-1#post-2452012 Sat, 06 Feb 2016 12:02:45 +0000 gingerbebe 2452012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Based on what little I know about Shettles (we never tried for a specific gender) both my pregnancies should have been girls by a mile but I have one son and am pregnant with another boy. Apparently each of those sperm wanted to live forever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shettles-method-1#post-2452010 Sat, 06 Feb 2016 11:59:26 +0000 pwnstar 2452010@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We weren't using Shettles to get one sex or the other, but based on Shettles timing, this baby should be a girl. But it's a boy! (LO1 is a girl) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shettles-method-1#post-2452009 Sat, 06 Feb 2016 11:56:26 +0000 MissGemini 2452009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi everyone, I'm new on here! I've got a 10 month old boy and we are just about to start trying for our second. I've been reading up on the Shettles Method for conceiving a girl but I'm SO skeptical. Has anyone on here been successful (or not) with this method? I'm just LONGING for a girl so very badly! </p>
