    We do not recommend those methods here. Shettles has been disproven and was never successful to begin with. O + 12 is nearly impossible to time correctly and has very low odds of conception, and is not guaranteed to result in a girl. Timing doesn't sway. We believe that how much you have sex in the 4 days leading up to and including O, along with diet & lifestyle factors (which are JUST as important), are what determine gender. Assuming you want a girl, the LE diet for at least 6 weeks prior to TTC and one attempt 1-2 days prior to O, plus at least 1 hour of cardio exercise at least 6 times a week, are the most successful tactics.

    TTC #1 - swaying pink on & off since Nov 2013 - hoping for a girl first but excited for either!

    Dec 2001 - May 2006 : 5 early abortions of healthy singletons (3 medical @5w, 2 surgical @8w, last 4 pregnancies conceived with late DH, all conceived while TTA/on birth control)
    Mar 2012: miscarried B/G twins @5w (conceived 2 cycles after remověng Paraguard copper IUD while NTNP), one twin was ovarian ectopic

    Me: 34, widowed, late O + short LP, normal-good hormone levels excepting undetectable testosterone, seeking a known sperm donor/life partner
    My sway: vegetarian LE for over 28w, skipping breakfast, fibre (ground psyllium husks) with/before/between meals, physically inactive, drama avoidance, ocassional minimal YesBaby lube as needed, alternate cycles on low dose Clomid, double shot lattes (with meals)
    Past sway tactics I've dropped (in order): Vitex, Sudafed, antihistamines, intermittent fasting, one attempt per cycle at positive OPK, one attempt in fertile period

    Shettles was debunked. XX and XY sperm swim equally fast. There are not many sites that promote this anymore (barring those trying to sell the book).

    If you want to sway Gender Dreaming style, you need to start reading. Start here:
    http://genderdreaming.com/forum/gend...ete-index.html

    If you want to take some of the leg work out of it, maybe consider getting a personalized plan from Atomic. We've been getting great results. GL!

    There is no sure fire chance that you will get a girl. Swaying just helps tip the odds in your favor, if you are like others on here, and can watch O for months before that's great. Or like me, I will not be looking for O. So Atomic suggests bding every four days, you DON'T have to narrow it to 1-2 days before O. In the "at home workout" post about a month ago, Atomic her self said this
    I think the 60 min. is more important than the 7 days a week, if you could manage 4 or 5 days instead that would still probably be ok. If it's only going to be 2-3 times a week I feel less confident in that amount.

    Oh yes, it is definitely enough, especially if well timed (right after positive OPK).

    question regarding time

    Defiantly enough! That's how I got my BFP (one attempt at positive OPK)
