shettles method
Hello! Has anyone tried the shettles method when trying for a certain gender? I was curious about the method for a girl, having sex several days before ovulation. Wouldn't this also make it less likely to get pregnant each month if you're avoiding the time near ovulation?
I'm personally not trying this, however my hubby and i did most of our baby dancing several days before ovulation, due to work and timing :( just wondering if i still have a decent chance. i did take a nap after our dance 3 days before ovulation. thoughts? i appreciate all opinions :)

I personally tried the settlers method for a boy. I actually conceived the first cycle trying which was dtd 12 hours after + opk unfortunately my pregnancy ended in a miscarriage at 12 weeks after the heart beat stopped . I do know in fact that it was a boy from analysis after. This was my 3rd miscarriage in 6 years with pregnancy number 2 and 4 delivering healthy babies. I am currently 9.6 weeks with pregnancy # 6 . Child # 5 pregnancy # 2 was triplets. We have 4 girls but opted not to try gender selection again as it can take a very long time ttc when doing that. It may take longer ttc a girl due to dtd so far before ovulation. If you have the time great but if you want to conceive asap or if you have difficulty with ttc I would just maximize all your fertile days. After 2 years of fertility treatments for pregnancy #2 I did not have a problem becoming pregnant I got pregnant any time we tried I just had a lot of miscarriages. Every other pregnancy has been a mc for me. Good luck with your ttc journey .
