LH tests and Shettles Method and Conceiving a Girl - any advice?

[IslayBrigid]

Hi. My partner and I have decided to TTC in December and we are very excited. I'm considering trying out the Shettles Method to sway towards having a girl. I would love a little boy as well, but I've always imagined myself with a girl, and I thought I'd just give it a go and no harm done if it doesn't work. At the end of the day, a healthy baby, pregnancy and mum is most important!

I've been charting my temp all year as we have been using it for contraception so I know my cycle well. However my ovulation day does fluctuate between cycle days 13-17 - usually it's about day 16/17.

I'm keen to look at EWCM and do the LH tests too just to pinpoint in. My idea is to stop having sex once I get a positive LH or heavy EWCM as this usually means I'll ovulate next day, based on previous experience. So if I do this, I will probably have had sex 2-3 days before I ovulate which fits with the Shettles Method for a girl.

I'm just wondering if anyone else has done it this way? Any luck? What did you do? How did you use the LH tests?

Also curious - is it good to have sex every day or just every second day to not deplete the semen...?

Thank you so much for your help!

I didn't do shettles but did do the Chinese moon chart and it worked for me - when I checked all friends/family it was also correct for them too

There is also info on line about changing your diet to change the ph balance within your uterus which can apparently sway things

Hello no has anyone had frozen embryos transferred and had any luck?? We are hoping to use some ours next spring? I wondered if anyone had any positive stories that could inspire me and make me feel more positive is such a lot of anxiety going through IVF and stress. That would be crazy not to try and hope for the best??
