Do you think the "Gender Selection" methods really work, i.e. Shettles?

So, like every gender related item, it's got a 50/50 shot of being accurate, so the results would probably need to be 100% in favor of the gender you were trying for, in order to prove it's effectiveness.

I am just curious what others think.

I would LOVE to have another girl, but isn't it all really luck of the draw anyway?

i think it probably helps your odds and might shift what would otherwise be 50/50 to something closer to 48/52. Kind of like counting cards. Helps your odds but doesn't guarantee anything because it's ultimately chance. Chat Icon

They are a bunch of bs. Our Chat Icon schedule would have predicted boy. Nope. We are having a girl!!!! I know so many people where those stupid methods were false. You get what god wants you to have.

Good luck!

I think it could sway the odds in one favor or the other. I guess that is why they call it swaying. I don't think it makes your odds as high as 80/20 but maybe 60/40. None of the methods are guaranteed to work, just meant to increase the odds and I think it is possible to change the probability.
