baby Boy or baby Girl- Choose the sex of your Child, December 31, 2004
This review is from: How To Make a Baby Girl or Baby Boy: Choose the Sex of Your Child In Plain and Simple Language (Hardcover)
I recommend this book to anyone. It follws dr. shettle's beliefs and methods. It says that boy sprem are fast, short lived and fragile where girl sperm are bigger,hardier and longer lived. If you want a girl, have sex 3 days before ovulation so the sperm will be waiting when the egg is released. on the contrary, if you want a boy, have sex on your peak ovulation day. This book literally takes 10 minutes to read and it gets right down to the important facts and steps without having to weed through lots of information. It cuts right to the chase. we are going to try this next month, so hopefully it will work. It is also not expensive at all.

Cute for the not-so-serious, July 20, 2005
This review is from: How To Make a Baby Girl or Baby Boy: Choose the Sex of Your Child In Plain and Simple Language (Hardcover)
I ordered this book along with the gold standard "How to Choose the Sex of Your Baby," and can hardly think of making a comparison between the two. My husband and I have a son and very much want a daughter. We are responsible people who realistically can only afford to have two children in this day and age and, given the opportunity, would like to try for a girl. (We would also consider ourselves blessed to have another child of either sex, as we do for the son we have.)
This book was great for a laugh, but for someone who is serious about trying for a baby of a specific gender, don't waste your money. My husband read it in the ten minutes (or less) it took and declared it a waste - both of information and money. It contains less information than you can find out with a quick internet search - and with the "diagrams" it reminds me more of something I would use to tell me 19 month old how to choose the sex of his baby - ha ha ha.
Buy this one for a laugh and the real Shettles method book if you are really trying!

The simple instructions and line drawings leave no room for confusion is this useful guide, August 7, 2005
This review is from: How To Make a Baby Girl or Baby Boy: Choose the Sex of Your Child In Plain and Simple Language (Hardcover)
Knowledge of medical obstetrics has advanced to the point where prospective parents can improve the odds of conceiving the desired gender of baby by following natural methods, as explained in How To Make A Baby Girl Or Baby Boy, the collaborative work of Doctor Mark More and his wife, pediatric nurse Lisa More. When followed properly, the methods are estimated to give 80/20 odds of the desired gender, rather than the usual 50/50. The key to the methods lies in the differences between X-sperm and Y-sperm; X-sperm live longer but Y-sperm are faster, so methods for female conception involved sexual congress a few days before ovulation (giving the Y-sperm time to die off) and making the woman's interior more hostile to sperm, while the methods for male conception are the opposite. The techniques in How To Make A Baby Girl Or Baby Boy do not cost money, or require a doctor's supervision beyond the expenses or necessary medical supervision of any pregnancy. A disclaimer warns that the methods are not guarantees, and further, not all the techniques are recommended for couples who are having a difficult time conceiving; some may even hinder fertility to a degree. The simple instructions and line drawings leave no room for confusion is this useful guide.
