Ramzi Theory and Placenta Previa - Food for Thought

For mobile bumping: Ramzi Theory and Placenta Previa - Food for Thought

So this thought occured to me:

Remember way back when we all just found out and some us had those early USs and we were all posting them and scrutinizing them against the Ramzi Theory of implantation on right or left and possibility of boy/girl based on location of embryo, sac, and placenta?  Well what about Placenta Previa?  When I had my 5 and 6 week USs, the nurse commented that the embryo had implanted high in the top of my uterus just where they like to see it.  But I've had Placenta previa ever since then.  You'd think, if they confirmed the embryo was implanted high, there would have been no chance for Placenta Previa.  And if I have Placenta Previa, some sites suggest this means the embryo implanted late because it had more time to move far down the uterus before securing a spot.  And some doctors think that male embryos implant on the early side (4-7 dpo) and female embryos implant on the later side of that window (8-12 dpo) so do people with Placenta previa more often than not have baby girls???  I am team green but I have been assuming boy because my hubby's family is all boys, and due to timing.  The fertility clinic made us do the insemination the same day I was ovulating and per the Shettle's method, that means boy.  Just wondering what Ramzi has to say about a low implantation of the embryo/fetus and gender pediction.  Because now I'm really confused.  But - I get another US in 3 weeks so that's nice!  No point to this post, just randomness for a Friday afternoon!

Mine is low this pregnancy and I'm having a boy. Not low the first time with a girl.

I had a partial previa with DS. None with this pregnancy. And FWIW, I got my BFP at 9 dpo which doesn't fit the "theory".

Dd1. Previa, very low baby
Dd2. Previa, not so low baby
Dd3. Anterior, no previa, very low baby

I have partial placenta previa 2cm and I'm having a boy. I don't seem to be carrying low but I'm short so I think it's because of the lack of available torso space.

Complete previa, boy, and carrying quite high!

Partial previa this time and it's another girl.  No previa with DD1.

Per Ramzi and Shettles I would be having a girl. We are expecting a wonderful little boy in September. I wouldn't put too much stock in it.
