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.

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!

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.

This was a very simple read, almost too simple. I was looking for a more in-depth read and this wasn't it. The info I read in this book may be helpful to those who are learning this stuff for the first time but for those of you looking to expand on information you already have, I would pass on this book. It is very sophomoric in writing and in illustration too.

This book is very simplistic. I would not recommend it to anyone! You should try the Choosing the Sex of your Baby by Shettles instead.

This book is extremely basic and a five mintue read, literally. If you are just begining to research this subject, and are looking for the most basic information, this book is for you. But if you are looking for more specific information, or to build on a basic knowledge, I would not recommend it.

If you really want to learn about ovulation charting and shooting for a certain gender this book is too simplistic. Buy "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" and truly educate yourself on your cycles. I was so dissappointed in this book that this is the first review I have ever written.

What I loved so much about this book was how short it was! Honestly, I am not a fan of reading hundreds of pages of something I really want to know about quickly. I have heard only good things being said about this book, and highly suggest it to anyone looking to conceive.

Very quick read! I read it all in ten mins Theres 31 pages and the text is big. We are going to try to use this method The Shettles Method. I have done other research on this Method. Which most you can find Googling Shettles Method. Overall i enjoyed this book It got right down to the point. But if your really serious about Choosing the gender I suggest you do some more research!
