Taking Charge of Your Fertility
let me preface this post by saying we aren't TTC yet. but I bought the book recently just to be aware of my own cycle...when i'm fertile, when i'm not, etc. etc.
If anyone else has this book, did you think it was crazy that you can plan the gender of your baby by the timing of when you have sex??? I have NEVER heard of this one before and I must say I'm skeptical. thoughts?
Re: Taking Charge of Your Fertility
CRAZY!!! I just bought it today! And yes I was quite aware of the gender thing. There are several ways to "increase your chances" of having a boy or a girl. There are foods that you can eat to increase/decrease your pH also. The biggest thing is that the sperm that produce males and the sperm that produce females do not live the same number of days which is why if you are trying for a boy, it is more important that you pay attention to the timing of things. Positions can help as well! There are so many different things you can do! When you are ready just GOOGLE it! There are SO many websites out there offering tips and advice!!!
I can't wait to start the book! I've heard nothing but great things about it.
You've heard what I've done, not what I've been through.
If you were in my shoes, you'd fall the first step."
I was thinking the same thing... it doesn't really make sense to me.
I don't believe it, God chooses the gender of your baby.
Glad I'm not the only one who hadn't heard of this before!!
Even though I'm skeptical, when we decide to TTC, i'm totally trying these gender tricks!
Let us know if it works.

I am a health policy expert in an assisted human reproduction office.
I guarantee you that these claims are crap. The only way to be sure to get a boy or girl is through sex selection prior to implanting an embryo. And that's expensive, although some do it for cultural (or other) reasons. It is illegal in Canada, but legal in the United States (which basically has no organized regulations in the area of assisted reproduction).
Same here
THIS!! HH and I have decided we are not going to even try to find out the sex until baby comes out!!
Oh I couldn't do that!!!! HAHA! Too many cute things to buy! HA!!!
