Shettles Method Revealed: Have you been wondering if it’s possible to influence the sex of your baby at the time of conception? This is something that couples around the world have wondered about for a very long time. There are a lot of different theories and methodologies that claim to be effective at helping couples select the sex of their child. One methodology that stands out and that has generated a great deal of interest over the years is the so-called Shettles Method.

Developed in the 1960′s by a man named Landrum Shettles, the self-named methodology was popularized in a book Shettles co-authored called “How to Choose The Sex Of Your Baby.”

The basic premise behind the Shettles Method is that a couple can influence the gender of their child during conception by focusing on three basic factors:

1) The Timing of Intercourse

To encourage the conception of a boy, the Shettles Method recommends that insemination occur when female ovulation occurs. This provides an environment that allows male sperm to potentially reach the egg first and achieve conception. Those who want a girl are advised to have sexual intercourse approximately 2 to 3 days before ovulation takes place.

2) Sexual Positions

Generally speaking, deep vaginal penetration is recommended if you want a boy because the male sperm will be deposited closer to the cervix — thereby avoiding the harshly acidic environment within the vagina. Conversely, shallow penetration and ejaculation creates an environment that’s more favorable to conceiving a girl.

3) Female Orgasms

An alkaline environment within the vagina is encouraged whenever a woman has an orgasm. Therefore, according to the Shettles Method, female orgasms create an environment that is more conducive to conceiving a boy because there is less vaginal acidity.

The Shettles Method however, has seen to have competitor which boasts a higher success rate. Ashley Spencer’s book has made its way into many doctors’ favorite, and it is better than Shettles Method.

So we got to work doing as much research as we could about natural ways to conceive a baby boy. What we discovered really amazed us. For example, did you know that the timing of sexual intercourse as well as the sexual position you choose can have an impact on the likelihood of conceiving a boy? It can! So can the diet you choose around the time of conception.

In a nutshell, you’re going to want to have sexual intercourse when female ovulation occurs. You’re also going to want to try to achieve deep penetration and ejaculation. This helps the male sperm reach the egg faster without being subjected to as much of the harsh acidic environment that exists within the vagina.

My friends and I are all looking forward to trying these natural ways to help us conceive a baby boy. You should try them too if you’re interested in having a son.

Doctors say that it is quite possible, but is outside the realm of the field of regular medical science. So the methods that people talk about when it comes to making a boy or a girl are not because of medication or surgeries. Instead, they are normal simple methods of common sense – most of which were handed down the ages.

Talking about the ages, it was quite possible a few decades ago for midwives to predict whether the baby would be a boy or a girl – and they would most be correct more often than not. The real reason behind it was their wisdom and experience in matters related to marriage and childbirth, but with time – and with technology – that wisdom got lost in the busyness each of us has fallen into. Over the last few years, some of that learning has made a come back and that is how people today can claim to conceive a boy with a bit of planning and a few little things taken care of.

What is so brilliant is that all of this is possible without any change in the regular way we live our life! Ranging from the diet that goes into our body to the positional changes while having sex, there are various things which have been known to make a difference on the outcome. Just be sure that you trust a system that has been proven over the years. It is exactly how so many couples manage to conceive a boy.

However, the medical community is not entirely convinced, but that does not deter the millions of people who vouch by the methods and try them out without fail. Over the generations, wise old people have identified various ways in which boys and girls can be conceived without any additional medication or other external influences on the birthing process.

Gender Selection and Conception

Gender selection involves a few very simple tips that have come down the generations – ranging from the position of having sex to the day on which the conception needs to happen in order to increase the chances of a particular gender. Now, note that we said ‘increase the chances’ and not assure about a gender. It is always an increase in the probability of gender selection, as the complete process of having a boy or girl will depend on a wide range of factors – and most of them are not in our control. The things which are in our control have already been identified and those are what people can work on.

Like with everything else, in gender selection also there are a lot of people who claim to get miraculous benefits out of some quack process, and you would do well to stay well away from them all. A simple way of identifying those will be to see if they ask you to take some medication or any other organic stuff to enhance the gender selection process – they normally don’t work! Also, when you are asked to make massive changes in your lifestyle, understand that they might be wrong.

Gender selection processes are best asserted by your doctor and unless you get an approval, don’t use anything radical.
