Anyone try the shettles method and have any luck?

in Toddlers: 12 - 24 Months

I know it's silly, but I'd love a little girl next time and I was wondering if there was any realism behind this said method.

 Don't get me wrong, i'd be happy to have another little boy...but i'm the type to keep trying until I get a girl haha.

Thanks! :)

    i never heard of it until here and haven't tried it, but dh's boss told him about it and now he's all ampped to try for a boy, lol. 

    we *might* try this for fun...you know the same way you pee on the ingender tests or use the Chinese gender chart to determine sex.

    I did it with boths kids successfully.  I have one of each sex.  But I also did the entire program, not just the timing sex with ovulation part that everyone thinks of as shettles.

    It worked for DD [sex like 4 days before ovulation] and maybe this time? we had sex 3 or 4 days before ovulation again and I have a feeling it's a girl.

    we used shettles for a boy with max.  it worked.

    ETA: i'd also recommend getting Taking Charge of Your Fertility.

    Our first month TTC we used the method as much as we could tell. I had only used OPKs and we had sex the day after a positive OPK test w/o protection. I was hoping we managed to catch O the day of but we'll really never know, even though we are indeed having a boy.

    This pregnancy also started out as twins so who knows if Twin B was a girl or another boy......

    I can let you know next Thursday.  We had sex 3 days before ovulation so then we "should" be having a girl.  I'm kind of excited to know if it worked for us or not!

    I tried the Shettles Method of timed intercourse for a boy and as you can see from my ticker, it did not work. 

    We had sex the day after my first + OPK and the following day (I also got a +OPK that day).  According to Fertility friend, I O'ed the second day.
