The Shettle Method for Baby Gender Selection

The Shettles Method is based on the theory that:
- male (Y) sperm is more fragile that the female (X) sperm
- male (Y) sperm is more faster that the female (X) sperm
- acidic environment harms male (Y) sperm

To get baby boy:
- make love as close as the ovulation so that Y-sperm arrive first and achieve conception
- deeper penetration in order to deposit sperm at the least acidic area which is near to the uterus opening. Also recommended is rear entry.
- women need to achieve orgasm as they make vaginal environment more alkaline

To get baby girl:
- make love 2 ½ to 3 days before ovulation as X-sperm is slower to arrive at the target
- to abstain until 12 hours prior to ovulation to boost the sperm count which is supposedly to better favors male sperms
- immediately after the menstrual period ends, to make love frequently until 48 hours before ovulation
- shallow penetration with sperm deposited closer to the entrance as the area is more acidic and therefore inhibits the weaker Y sperm
- women to avoid having orgasm
- missionary position is advised or any shallow penetration to deposit sperm further from cervix entrance

The Jonas Method for Baby Gender

This method basically calculates the baby’s gender, risk factor (birth defects and metal retardation) and mum’s possibility of getting pregnant by the date and time of the mother’s birth date.

The method is founded on three principles:
1. Women’s fertility depends on recurrence of the sun and moon’s angle occurring at their own birth.
2. Baby gender is determined by the position of the moon at conception.
3. The viability of the fetus is affected by certain configuration of the nearer celestial bodies.

I’ve used the Jonas calculator and from my birth date and time – 1st June 1975 @ 10.00 am.. to get a baby girl, I should conceived 24 hours before 23 Aug 2008 (Risk factor 2.. yikes) 21 Oct 2008 (0 risk factor.. yes!) 18 Dec 2008 (Risk factor 3.. double yikes)

My Baby Gender Preference


For me, a boy or baby girl does not matter either way as long as they are healthy and happy. Of course, I only have one child now so I have two more chance to get it right. But why not? If I have a boy and a girl, the next babies would be bonuses whatever their gender may be.
For my case studies I have my sis-in-laws. One has 2 boys and another has three girls. The girls mum of course really wants a baby boy and is trying for another baby. I really wish she got her baby boy soon. So… no harm in trying these gender methods, I’d say.

The Choice Method for Baby Gender

Previously known as the Selnas Method, it uses the Polarity Cycle as discovered by a Cellular Biologist from France, Patrick Schoun.

The polarity cycle have some similarity as the menstrual cycle.

The theory stated: When the charges on ovum membrane are neutral, sperm carrying X or Y chromosome is able to penetrate the ovum, giving 50-50% chance of getting a boy or a girl.

For baby boys: negatively charged egg attracts Y sperms (XY)
For baby girls: positively charged egg attracts X sperms (XX)

* note: mum's ovum is X. dad's sperm is eithr X or Y

The polarity cycle is due to all gender are effected by “ionic factor” producing specific charges to ovum membrane and sperm. The factors include mum’s age, blood type and menstrual cycle will be forwarded to a laboratory in France for analysis and parents will be given the Choice Pregnancy Chart for dates or period optimal in getting a baby boy or girl.

There are 70 days / year for each polarity i.e. 70 days optimal dates for baby girls and 70 days for baby boys. The other 200 days are 50 – 50% chance of getting either a baby boy or baby girl. From their clinical test, the method resulted in 98.7% success rate.

Dry stuffs.. For me, this method is more suitable for those who are more serious on getting the specific type of baby gender. More cost involved but the success rate is really amazing!

Malay Baby Gender Tips


Firstly, I really love this picture of Kimi when he's a year plus of age.. chubby chubby! Just like me!
OK.. lets get back on track!
As we know, the males determines baby gender as they are the carrier for X and Y chromosome. Ladies only carry the X chromosome. So XX = girl and XY = boy. Therefore ladies, you can put the blame solely on the hubby on gender selection ha ha..
Y chromosome is supposedly more active and faster but expired quickly that X that is slower but live longer. Y is more durable in alkaline condition but X thrives in acidic condition.
So....
To get baby boys:
1) Acidic food such as citrus fruits, pineapples, mangoes, vinegar to be avoided 2 months before conceiving. Seafood, calcium and magnesium are encouraged.
2) Make love on or just after ovulation but not too often.
3) Providing alkaline environment by douching (sodium bicarbonate liquid – can be purchased from pharmacies) 2 hours before intercourse.

To get baby girls:
1) Consume acidic food such as citrus fruits, pineapples, mangoes, vinegar and gas drinks. Avoid seafood.
2) Make love before ovulation and only after 5 days of ovulation. And do it frequently.
3) Providing acidic environment by douching (very dilute lactycyd) 2 hours before intercourse.
* I do not prefer the douching by the way, but each of their own way, I supposed.

To get twins:

Under normal circumstances, apparently the probability of getting twins is 1/80 pregnancies. For those on clomiphene (a fertility hormone pill) the probability is between 5 – 10%. Those on fertility injection or IVF, the chances are 20-30%.

Chinese Baby Gender Prediction Table

The Chinese with their thousand of year’s civilization should have something up their sleeves on predicting baby gender. Especially when they have a one child policy some years back, parents have preference for certain gender – mostly boys as of their culture boys are more valuable then girls. So the more humane ways on getting boys is gender prediction table.

For ladies aged 18 - 31 years old:

For ladies aged 32 - 45 years old:

For the Chinese, the age is calculated from our conception, for example, myself – I was born on June 1st, 1975, in June 2008, I will be 33 years old.

Therefore, to use this calendar, I must add on 9 months (or a year for my formation months in my mum’s womb) making me 34 years old.

So…. To get a girl, I should look at the pink squares at column no. 34, to get a girl, ideally I should conceived on February, April, May, July, August, September and October…

Think I’ll try in July, 4 months for me to adjust. I have a fondness for this method as one of my Chinese girlfriend use the table for her second baby. Come to think of it most of the Chinese couple do have pair of kids - a boy and a girl. Certainly food for thoughts!
