Shettles or O+12 for choosing gender survey?!

I can't decide, so I'm throwing open the debate to see what most people believe could be the most accurate method for choosing the gender of your baby!

So, which would you go for, Shettles (before ovulation for a girl, stopping at least on day 9) or O+12 (Ovulation + 12 hours - meaning that you abstein until at least 12 hours after ovulation before dtd if you want to conceive a girl).

Both seem convincing....?

Let me know!

I have 3 delightful healthy sons, 1st was conceived on day 7 of my cycle. 3rd was day 4! Not sure about our middle one so Shettles would n't have worked for us. We didn't plan these pregnancies but when I became pg with 1 and 3 I knew exactly when they had been conceived and was sure they were likely to be girls.
I also had one mc after conceiving around day 15.
The best of luck, we love our boys and they're a real team but I'd love a girl and if I was sure of having one I'd probably go for no 4 (although clock is ticking for me) so i'll be watching this thread.
