If you know your conception and ovulation date

sarahns80

When you concieved, how many days before ovulation did you concieve and what did you have? Just wondering how acurate the Shettles method is which says if you have intercourse on your ovulation date or the day before it is more likely to be a boy and if you have intercourse 3-5 days before ovulation it is more likely to be a girl.

Shettles did hold true for us.

I'm still curious how it explains boy/girl multiples though.

we conceived the day I ovulated and we had a girl.

We charted ( didn't follow the shettles method) but had sex the day prior to ovulation/ day of/ day after and had a boy.

With DD we had sex 2 days before O.  She was a girl.

For this one we had sex the day before O and the day of O.  Another girl.

We had sex the day before, the day of and the day after O.  We are having a girl.  So Shettles did not work for us.  (and fyi- we were trying for a boy)

I have no idea with DD#1 since she was a surprise but we were charting with DD#2 and it looks like we conceived her the day I ovulated.
