The listing, Boy Or Girl? Paperback has ended.
I was recommended this book by a nurse friend of mine who tried Dr. Shettles method three times without success. Dr. Whelan explains why her method is the one appropriate for couples who are trying to conceive naturally. Methods written about in other books (namely by Dr. Shettles) were created for couples that conceived by artificial methods.
Dr. Whelan goes on to explain that no method is 100% gauranteed, but gives the percentages of your chances to conceive a child of the sex that you desire.
Her method is not difficult to follow, if you are familiar with your body and monthly cycle. I never did buy a fertility thermometer or any other tool.
She also goes into the ethics surrounding this issue, and encourages the reader to consider why it is that they desire a child of one sex over the other.
I highly recommend this book be read by ANYONE considering using ANY METHOD of sex selection, just so that you know both sides of this scientific story. My husband and I followed Dr. Whelan's advice, and I am excited to have conceived a son, and then a daughter which is what we desired to do!
Good Luck, have fun regardless of what method you decide to try, and don't forget what a precious child you will receive at the end of the journey- even if it isn't the sex you were hoping for!
