I did not like this book because it seemed to me that the author just went to the library and got all of his information for the book. He did not do a study of his own to confirm his findings. He just believed everybody elses research instead. Also he does not state why he believes this information to be true or why it would be true. There is some information that is helpful but it is very scientific and a little hard to understand without going back over it a couple times to review it. I have also read a book by Dr.Shettles and its very easy to understand and he explains why he believes all of his findings to be true. We will use Dr.Shettles' method.

I have to agree with the other comment on this book. When I bought this book, I also bought the Shettles method book. The Shettles book is a lot clearer and uses scientific evidence, along with actual testimonials, to back up its theories. The author of this book directly contradicts what Dr. Shettles says (which doesn't make sense since Dr. Shettles can prove his theories and this guy cannot)and he offers no proof of his theories. I'm trying for a girl and even though I haven't started yet, I plan to use the Shettles method.

I disagree with the other reviewers. I used this book and followed all of the instructions (no small task!) and had a girl. Maybe it was just luck, but I recommend the book to everyone. The problem is that planning a girl takes a lot of effort - charting, temperature-taking, etc. - but I found the book clear and very easy to use.

OK It wasn't clear. I won't use this. But a word to all other readers -- I've used Shettles twice and it doesn't work! (I have 3 boys).

This book was too much to read and too long! For pete sake, we are trying to have a baby, not build a computer. I want a baby girl bad but after several tries of this book that didn't work, I'm going to find an easier way. Amazon, send my money back!

Not once in his book does he tell ONE success story. He writes about several couples who were in the TRYING stages, but didn't share whether they ended up having a boy or a girl. I'm not sure how much stock I would put into this method... but I've not used it personally, so I guess I don't have a personal testimonial one way or the other.

I don't now what all the complaining is about, especially from reviewers who didn't even bother to try it. I chose this book 10 years ago because it appeared to be the simplest and smallest book. I didn't want a bunch of heavy reading-- I just wanted to get busy and have a baby! ~ : )

I followed what the books said and had a girl. I did not find the book difficult to follow at all, and we only had to try once!

This is no surprise because the techniques also increase your chances of concieving by keeping track of when you are ovulating.

I wanted to increase the odds of having a big sister for my subsequent children, so we started trying for a girl. My resulting 10 year old daughter is the most wonderful big sister any little brother (age 6 now) could have. : )
