How to Choose the Sex of Your Baby

A Wonderful and Successful System - My wife read this book long before we attempted to have any children and I was skeptical. She explained the process, which is envolved. It was completely worth the effort to follow the formulas as described in the book. We now have four children, two older boys and two younger girls, exactly as planned. This book was 100% successful for us and our family. After reading and understanding the theories that were explained in the book, we tried it and it worked. The instructions were based on the fact that the baby's gender is primarily based upon the Ph (acid/alkalinity) of the bodies of the male and female at the time of conception. I think there were 5 to 10 different factors that could be pushed in one direction or the other to make it more likely your baby would be a boy or a girl. And for us, it worked each time.I have recommended this book many times over the years and if you want to achieve a special desire in terms of the sex of your offspring, follow the steps in this book and I wish you all the happiness you desire for yourself and your loved ones. Good Luck!

Wonderful!!!

My sister introduced me to this book when she and her husband decided to have their fourth and last child (1st three are boys)She followed the book to a tee and had a little girl.I was blessed as well with a son and three years later with a daughter after following the suggestions.This book is a useful tool to really understanding the mechanics of your reproductive system.It is not MAGIC(approx.80% success rate), But is based on scientific evidence that will greatly improve your ability to conceive the gender of your choice.It describes about how to chart your ovulation and learn WHEN you actually ovulate.You need to do this for several months before actually implementing the plan.In a nutshell,it all has to do with the TIMING of your intercourse in relation to the time you ovulate(three to four days prior to ovulation for a girl and as close to ovulation as possible for a boy).It is described in detail and the scientific data supplied.Not everyone ovulates on day 14 of a menstrual cycle.Understanding factors such as stress,illness,diet on your ovulation are explained and will help you learn to know your body.Remember, ALL CHILDREN ARE A BLESSING, GOOD LUCK!!!

It worked!

This book is based on over 30 years of research. It all boils down to timing of ovulation in respect to intercourse. If you are serious about wanting a boy or a girl, this book is very informative. BUT...YOU NEED TO READ THE ENTIRE BOOK! Not just bits and pieces or one chapter. You need to understand how sperm work (life span, hardiness, difference between boy producing sperm and girl producing sperm) and how to figure out your ovulation pattern. You have to be dedicated and do the test cycles to find out the ovulation pattern for your body before you try to conceive. But please remember the success rate is 81% for a boy, 74% for a girl. We wanted two children one of each. We were blessed with a girl! And our next baby we tried for the boy. We have a 12 week baby boy!

It worked for us!

I found this book very informative. We lost our son and daughter in a car accident in 1996. We now have two sons that we love dearly, and wanted to give it one more try for a (another) girl. We went into it with the understanding that it could easily be a boy, and that was fine with us. We tried the methods very carefully and also used the book,Taking Charge of Your Fertility, and with the total understanding of my body, we now have baby Emily who is 8 weeks old. Good luck to all, but make sure you go into it with the fact that it could go either way and girls are harder to get (timing wise).

Yes! It worked... And it could for you too!

Someone I work with told me about this book. After having two lovely girls, I was about ready to try anything for a boy. I gave the book to my wife for an Xmas present. In February, we conceived a child. Our son Michael Ralph was born two weeks ago, and he means everything to us! We are so blessed, and happy that words alone somehow can't fully explain it. It still feels weird because I guess I was just so used to having girls. Anyway, be sure to read both chapters on the girl and boy, so you know what to do, and what not to do. Most of all, you must be willing to love whatever the Lord blesses you with. I really believed in this book, and would highly recommend it. In fact it is amazing how long the book has been out (first edition 1970). Be sure to follow the method, and have fun. Good Luck to all!
