Baby Gender Selection Using The Shettles Method

The late Dr. Landrum Shettles a renowned expert on baby gender prediction methods developed, after years of research, a gender selection method that he felt was “best supported by scientific evidence”.
He authored a best selling book explaining his three step baby gender selection methods called “How To Choose The Sex Of Your Baby”. You can find a link to the book at my site below. Dr. Shettles claimed a 75%-90% success rate using his methods. You’ll find ebooks offered also that use the Shettles method as well as other baby gender prediction techniques, that have given many thousands of couples an even higher success rate of up to 98% in choosing the sex of their babies.
The Shettles method takes advantage of the fact that it’s the man’s sperm that ultimately determines the sex of your baby. Why? Because the womans egg only carries one set of chromosomes (xx) or all girl! While the man’s sperm comes in either the (xy) configuration which results in a girl baby, or the (yy) which results in a boy baby. Also Dr. Shettles realized that the girl sperm was physically larger, slower, and much stronger (or longer lived) than the boy sperm which conversely is the smaller, faster, and more fragile (dies off quicker) of the two.
The good doctor also determined that the timing of conceptual sex, as well as the depth of penetration (especially at the time of ejaculation) had a profound effect on the sex of the baby. In order to time conceptual intercourse precisely the mother-to-be will have to learn to track her day of ovulation precisely as well.
If wanting a baby boy abstain from sex until 24 hrs before you ovulate, than have sex as much as you want (more is better here!) until about 48 hrs after ovulation. Also using positions that allow deep penetration (doggie style) will deposit the sperm as close as possible to the fresh waiting egg, and allow the fast swimming boy sperm their best chance to win the race and give you that special little baby boy you want.
Want a baby girl? Well, to give yourself the best chance of success abstain from sex for two days before ovulation until two days after ovulation. Also when having sex to try and conceive practice only shallow (especially during ejaculation) penetration. Why is this? Because, by using only shallow penetration you will (hopefully) be giving the girl sperm a time and distance advantage over the boy sperm, resulting in the baby girl you desire.
Shettles also realized that the mother-to-be’s bodily ph also plays a role in baby gender prediction. A lower ph (higher acidity) favors the girl sperm, while a higher ph (more on the alkaline side) favors the boy sperm.
Don’t leave anything to chance (if you are serious about choosing the gender of your baby.) You’ll need a guide to take you through the entire process step by step. You’ll find these guides at my website, so pick one up and raise your chance of success from a mere 50/50 to well over 90%!

Great article – very informative.
I hadn’t realized that the Shettles-Method was so involved – especially regarding PH levels. I guess you learn something everyday.
Do you know if the Shettles-Method is completely (100%) natural?
Thanks.
