Has anyone had success using the Shettles Method? I currently have a boy and even though I’d be happy with a healthy baby of any gender I think it would be fun to try for a girl!

    There's some other method (don't remember the name) that literally tells you to do the exact opposite of the Shettles method for the same results. Therefore these methods don't mean sh*t.
