Husband wants to try shettles for a Boy! I disagree. Whats the best "Boy Method"?

[3RussianPrincesses]

My DH and I have 3 girls conceived by having sex every day my period ended for about 2.5-3 weeks. No special diet was followed.
We also go pregnant the first "try" with each of our girls.
My husband now really really wants a boy and is convinced that since the Shettles boy method worked with his Best Friend, that it will work with us.
All the nurses, midwives etc tell me it's just 50/50. I just want another healthy baby. After 4 we are done! No more babies! I would like to give it my best effort so DH can have his Son.
I belonged to other groups that swear that the shettles method works. Others swear that the Chinese Gender Chart was the way to go (Was wrong with us). The shettles method worked for us but we were not trying for a certain gender, however according to shettles, we did what it took to make girls.
I live a whole foods plant based diet now and do not eat any Dairy/eggs or Meat. DH Does!
We are also an alcohol free family and will never drink alcohol. (Well unless someone offers us a million dollars to try, then maybe lol)
I do not drink caffeine but DH drinks red bull like water. We are hoping to try our next cycle and I will be using OPKs to track it. I look forward to any and the boy advice you have.

Hi! Welcome to swaying. Shettles has been debunked many times. Probably two of the biggest reasons you had girls was DH was doing frequent release every day for 2-3 weeks (he just had no sperm left by the time you O'ed). A boy sway is doing the deed every 2-4 days after your period to keep his supply fresh but not exhaust it. The other reason for your girls would be you're not getting enough animal based fats. A boy sway focuses heavily on animal based fats over plant based. Red meat is highly encouraged but if you are a vegetarian than lots of eggs. I'm a meat eater and it's still recommended to have two eggs per day. Lots of snacking and eating throughout the day. Always breakfast, lunch and dinner with 2-5 snacks per day. Also put on a little bit of weight - a more nourished environment favours boys while a "harsh" environment sways girls.
Feel free to ask any other questions. Get on supplements too - vitamin D, folate, a good prenatal, a probiotic. The HE diet does become expensive but there seems to be really good results here.

Hi again! I think I hit up most of these in your other posts but I'll get the things I think I didn't:

Doctors and midwives will always say it's just luck but if it was, we wouldn't be getting good results on this site!

I think I posted the trouble with timing essay in your other post but in case I didn't it is here: http://genderdreaming.com/forum/gend...le-timing.html Most of us on here have 2-3-4 or more Shettles opposites. I have 4 (the other was a sneak attack, don't know when I got him) The only time I ever got a girl was when I (accidentally) did Shettles for a boy LOL. I did describe what to do instead in your other post

Chinese Gender Chart DOES NOT WORK. If the Chinese had any ancient wisdom that helped them select gender, there would not be orphanages full of unwanted baby girls. the CGC always get half my kiddos right, half wrong, and that seems to be true no matter how many times we talk about it on the various sites, everyone gets about 50-50 overall.

No need to have alcohol to TTC a boy, we actually use alcohol as a pink sway! I got my 4 boys never touching it when TTC.

Red Bull needs to go if possible, or at least have him cut back.

Good luck and blue dust!

Hey thanks. I would be lying if I didn't wish for another girl. I feel more at home with girls. I will have DH read all of this. I didn't become a whole food plant based diet eater till recently. My little one had deadly food allergies so following a plant based lifestyle was my safe way of eating. Plus I feel good too!
If I could get my DH off caffeine that would be amazing! He read that you caffine gives boys "jolts" of energy.
I let him decide what he wants. He's trying to "save his sperm" and then drink Red Bull before BD. I am like whatever man.

What is the break down of the He diet?
I'm taking folate now. Plus vitamin B-12.
At this time in my life I have a high sex drive and I'm so frustrated that DH is "saving" his sperm.
Do you ladies have a dummies guide that I could show my DH? Like if you want a son do this!
If you google "How to make a boy" only to shettle method comes up.

HE Diet here: http://genderdreaming.com/forum/tryi...l-version.html

Yes, I know the story goes that caffeine gives Y sperm "energy" but it isn't true. The idea that Y sperm swim fast and die young has been totally debunked and so even IF caff. does make sperm swim fast it is no guarantee that it would make a Y win the race anyway - because X and Y swim the same speed!!

WE can't really do swaying for dummies because different couples have different needs, can't pin it down to one thing that always works for everyone.

BUT just in brief: HE Diet 6 weeks or longer, giving up coffee in favor of tea, weight training for you, multivitamins and probiotics for both of you, DH not smoking or jogging/biking, having DH do regular release every 2-4 days (he should not "save it up any longer than that as abstain for long periods may also sway pink) and having at least 2-3 attempts in your fertile window helps sway blue.

Does his release need to be protected or unprotected?

[atomic sagebrush]

If you want to do Shettles, protected.

If not, you can do unprotected
