DR JONAS METHOD - GENDER SELECTION - BOY OR GIRL
Hello Sosapop
yes, I have looked into it - it is based on moon phases, and depends on what moon phase you are at when you ovulate (boy sign, or girl sign). Alot of people believe in it, and lots don't. I really dont know whether its effective or not? But i fell pregnant this month by chance my Lunar ovulation and mid-cycle ovulation coincided (you are meant to be very fertile at this time). Who knows whether theres anything in it or not........ There is a website called Astro.com and they have free charts online that you can find out boy/girl lunar times and its free. I'm interested too to see if anyone else know anything about this.
Yes, I have heard of it and looked into it thoroughly and there is nothing to it whatsoever. Not based on science, in fact is not even compatible with basic biology, and Dr. Jonas is considered a quack by reputable doctors and scientists.

"It really explains how we get fraternal twins with different conception days," Pierson said. "Clinically, we see this all the time. We see women come in with twins and when we do an ultrasound we see one is at one 10 weeks development and another at seven."
That last paragraph is crazy, wOw!
Thanks! Been reading all sorts of things relating to this Dr. Jonas and Lunar/Astro sites, nothing too positive about Jonas! Plus I don't think I need anything else to confuse me. If I try in August all I know is that I need to shoot for ovulating on the 17th for a new moon.
I've read the Pierson study and spoken with Dr. Potter about it, and the fact is that even ~if~ (contrary to all other studies and biological research) women are able to keep releasing eggs at various times in the cycle, the eggs can only implant for a very limited window of time. Otherwise, natural family planning would not work and yet it works better than 90% of the time (and when it doesn't, it's usually because of human error.) It simply cannot be true that we are all popping out eggs on all these different days because otherwise, NFP would not work.Quote:

There have been a few very rare cases of twins that ~may~ have been conceived days apart, but it's so rare that they don't even have statistics on it and it's likely that in these cases, something was awry with the woman's body and hormones that allowed it to happen. It's certainly not something that any of us should rely upon. When an egg is released your body releases hormones that stop the development of other eggs and prevent them from being released.
