Choosing baby's gender?

Hello
Just a question if any of these theories are correct or if they have worked for people; the Shettles method and the Whelan method.

Can you influence one gender more than the other or is it all poppycock lol.

All poppycock.

I think there's got to be something in the reasoning for these methods, which is why there is a slightly higher chance of having a girl through ICSI where they choose the strongest sperm.
However the chances of you actually being able to have any control over natural selection within the body is zero. I'm afraid I always cringe with these kind of questions as surely it's just a miracle to have a healthy baby at all, regardless of the sex?

Agree with Showy and Carryon, only IVF with pre-implantation diagnostics will give you the gender of choice.

You can't.

And even if you could influence the sex of a baby, you wouldn't necessarily guarantee its gender. Only sex is determined by biology.

Good luck.
