You could just wait until the anatomy scan like other people (or until birth, like us!). Or go get an early gender scan at a third-party ultrasound place. They will usually try at 16 weeks. Waiting to find out the sex will be your first lesson in patience as a parent, or so it seems.
I do not believe in this theory, but I asked my dr. which side the baby was implanted on just for fun. She said right in the middle. On that note, I do somewhat believe in the Shettles method (I should have saved this for FFFC). It basically says that boy sperm swims faster but dies faster. Girl sperm swim slower but last longer. We had sex on a Wednesday, and I ovulated on Friday, so I think we are having a girl. I do not care what we have, so I will not be disappointed if we end up with a boy.
@sugahcookie01 I thought of that! If we had sex multiple times in our fertile window, we would have no idea if it worked. You can only really tell if it works if you had sex that 1 time, which we did. Does the method work? I have no idea. I guess we will found out in about 10 weeks.
We look at the Ramzi method, but it's all in fun. Just like looking at heartbeats (says it's a boy) and the fact that I have morning sickness (says it's a girl). Something to toy around with while we wait for week 20.
On the flip side, I do insist that the mixed signals/old-wives-tales are because I'm having an alien baby from X-Files. DH is not amused.

Omg if this is true its totally a girl. We had sex early on sunday and I o'd on tuesday/wednesday. Lol I was shocked when I got the bfp on day 30 cause I never in a million years considered it.. I had to go back to my app to even see when it though I ovulated cause I had no clue lol

It worked for me last time: cowgirl, Friday BD, O on Sunday... I've found shettles true then.
I was just asking for fun. Believe me I have a ton of patience seeing as how I have 5 children 15, 10, 4, 2, and 1. Having patience is definitely not an issue lol. I just read about ramzi's theory and just wanted to see what others thought. Negative responses are not needed. Thanks.

IMO negative responses are the only ones worth considering. I'd majorly side eye anyone who took this seriously.
I had been reading on this theory also and think it's really interesting. Since his study concluded with 97% accuracy, I'd say it's much more reliable than a wives' tale! Was this an abdominal or vaginal ultrasound? I'm not sure I know how to interpret it correctly, but if it was vaginal, I think boy, and a girl if it was abdominal.
Congratulations on baby #6! We have #3 on the way! Since we have one of each already, I want to do a gender reveal party. I'm predicting boy according to Ramzi's method!
