Shettles Method of Gender Selection

noreply@blogger.com (Oracle Fertility) — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 19:19:00 +0000

The Shettles Method Of Gender Selection

Shettles?

Over the last twenty-five years, thousands of couples have turned to the non-invasive Shettles method for choosing the sex of their babies. And thousands have been blessed with the boy or girl they hoped for. In fact, the properly applied Shettles method gives couples at least a 75 percent success rate. Some researchers have reported success rates up to 90 percent!

The Shettles' Theory Explained In A Nutshell

It is the sperm that fertilizes the egg that will determine the sex of your baby.
No one can deny that there are two types of sperm:
X (which comes from the mother) and Y (which comes from the father.)
If the X sperm reaches and fertilizes the egg first, the couple will have a baby girl.
If the Y sperm gets to and fertilizes the egg first, then the couple would conceive a baby boy.

The basis of Shettles' theory is that the X and Y sperm have inherent differences.
The girl sperm (X) are said to be slower, but much stronger, and able to survive in a hostile vaginal environment for up to four days without weakening and dying off.
The boy (Y) sperm on the other hand are said to be very fast moving, but to balance out nature, they are also much weaker - dying off pretty rapidly in the vaginal tract.

According to Shettles, with a bit of planning and calculation, you can time intercourse, choose a sexual position that favours conception of your preferred sex and influence the reproductive environment to increase the likelihood of conceiving your preferred sex.

These are the suggestions from Dr. Shettles:.

To Conceive a Boy:

If the boy sperm are faster but have a shorter life span, then the Shettles objective is to time lovemaking in nearest proximity to ovulation - right before ovulation takes place or the day you ovulate.
The concept here is that Y-chromosome sperm will swim quicker than the X-chromosome and more of the Ys will reach the egg sooner. Therefore, the chances of having a boy are increased.
Remember, the egg can survive for only 24 hours following ovulation. Only one sperm can fertilize the egg (out of the millions who start the journey), so timing intercourse close to ovulation would favor quicker Y-chromosome sperm, even if their lifespan is short.
Shettles advises that to increase the odds of having a boy, do not have intercourse during your "transitional" fertile days four to five days before you ovulate. Rather, time lovemaking directly prior to and during ovulation.
The Shettles Method also suggests deep penetration in order to get the sperm closer to the cervical canal, closer to the egg, and more likely closer to the abundant cervical mucus that should be present during your most fertile days.
As for sexual position, Shettles recommends rear entry or "doggy style" for deepest penetration.
According to Shettles, women should try to have an orgasm at the same time as the man; purportedly, orgasms increase endocervical secretion and increase the alkaline level of the vagina.
Men should avoid wearing tight cloths and hot showers, etc, prior to intercourse as heat will more likely weed out the Y-sperm than the X-sperm.

These factors should:
1) decrease the travel distance of sperm
2) provide a more alkaline pH environment in the vagina (due to presence of cervical mucus)
3) get male sperm to the egg quicker
4) promote environments conducive to male sperm survival.

To Conceive a Girl:
Instead of timing intercourse directly prior/during ovulation, make love during the transitional days and two to three days before you ovulate.
Try to avoid sex when your cervical mucus is most fertile (when you have egg-white cervical fluids).
Shettles suggests that women avoid having an orgasm and recommends shallow penetration to make it more difficult for the male sperm to make the big journey. Hence, missionary position is advised, or any shallow-penetration strategy that deposits sperm further from the entrance to the cervix.
The principle here is that these integrated methods will favor the slower, more resilient sperm. Female X-chromosome sperm can endure a more acidic environment, live longer, and swim further than their male counterparts.

The Conclusion?

Dr. Shettles did numerous studies himself and not surprinsingly they were always positive. Though the majority of scientists have not been able to replicate his supposed success in sex selection. One complaint that many families have about the method is that the guidelines are strict and difficult to follow, particularly the abstinence of sexual intercourse and orgasm at various points.

In the end you have to remember that there are only a few ways to nearly guarantee the sex of your baby and they involve a lot of scientific tinkering with your body and the whole conception process. There is not any easy method of sex selection that can be done at home. Most couples I have interviewed who choose to do at home methods say they went into this with the mindset that they were tipping the scales in their favor in one direction or the other. Some were very disappointed, while others were thrilled.

Thank you for sharing your story with us... I am sure it will give many women hope...

“Ok well it all started when i was 15 years old. I continued to get cyst's (sorry bout spelling) on my ovaries & on 4 occasions had to have surgery to get them removed. Also many times admitted for other treatment as was in so much pain so often. After further medical investigating i was diagnosed with PCOD & endometiosis & my grandparents who where my legal guardians & myself where told that due to these conditions & scaring it would never be possible for me to have children.

The dr's also told my grandparents that they wanted to do a full hysterectomy, but needed them to sign consent as i was still a minor. I remember my grandmother in tears as they came in & told me. I voiced that i didn't want anymore op's & wanted to wait & see what happened when i got older. I was hopeful for a cure or treatment. So my grandparents told dr's they did not consent to it & that the decision should be made by me when i was older.

So after that i always had it in my head id never have my own children, physically impossible they reckoned. I loved kids so much & all kid use to cling to & love me. I always spent as much time as possible with others lil ones. Then I started working in child care.

When i was 22 i was getting really sick all the time as in vomiting everyday. Got to the point i cried to my partner at time that i was going to move into toilet cause i was there being sick all the time anyway. After weeks of this i started to get strange feelings in my stomach sometimes painful other times i then couldn't describe feeling as id felt nothing like it before. I went to Dr in the end having lost a considerable amount of weight & symptoms continuing. Dr thought it had to be something toil do with my ovaries but wanted ultrasound of them to be sure. He just gave me form & sent me to get test done, he didn't do pregnancy test as i couldn't have any kids to his knowledge.

I remember so well laying on the table getting test done talking to lady, when she said oh your must feel very Very blessed. Both of them are fine. I looked to her puzzled, i thought to myself that was a very strange way to talk about my ovaries. I asked both of what? She looked at me quiet shocked & said i was pregnant with twins & congratulated me.

I was silent & still with disbelief. I had all sorts going through my head, how could i be pregnant at all?? Let alone with twins. I started to cry both out of happiness and disbelief. When i came out from test i didn't know how to tell my partner & was still shocked myself. He said after that he had never seen me as pale as when i walked out, that he thought id been told i only have a short time to live. My pregnancy was classed as a high risk pregnancy & i attended hospital appointments twice a week to start then some times more often as i got heavier pregnant.

I was already 4 1/2 months when i first found out. At nearly 31 weeks i was in a car acciedent. I was in back seat of vehicle & driver had a seizure while Driving & drove into a parked car. I got out of vehicle & my long white skirt was covered in blood. I felt no pain as i was in shock. People that had come out of houses after hearing crash where trying to get me to sit down & saying they had called an ambulance. In my state of shock all i wanted was to go home to my then partner. As we where still on the same street i walked home. I will never forget his face when he looked up at me as i came through the door. He said we got to get u to the hospital now! I cried & didn't want to go i Thought my miracle babies where dead. I was devastated. My partner got me to the hospital they hooked me up to a strap that they could hear babies heart beats through. Within 20 minutes of being at hospital i was in theatre & my two beautiful babies where brought into the world. They spent 3 1/2 weeks in special care nursery then they got to come home. All my dreams had come true.

I was told after having them that was it again i wouldn't have any more. I was still happy & felt blessed. My twins are 8 nearly 9 now. Since then i have had one miscarriage & 2 still born children. But on Australia day 2009 my beautiful little boy came into the world."

Personal Experience with trying to conceive

noreply@blogger.com (Oracle Fertility) — Sun, 27 Nov 2011 22:14:00 +0000

We have been blessed with another story from a couple experiencing troubles trying to conceive. Please take a look at her personal blog site to read more.

"When My Husband James and I first got married, we had decided to hold off on having children. We knew I wouldn't be able to work due to Social Anxiety Disorder, so it was up to him to be the bread winner.

For 1 year at this point, I would at times have severe pain in my upper stomach, right below my rib cage. In March of 2007 it finally sent me to the ER.I was diagnosed with Gallstones and told to see a surgeon. We didn't have insurance and I had been turned down for medicaid and other help with medical assistance and no surgeon would so much as talk to me without one of these things, so I was force to play the hand I was dealt and deal with the pain.

In June of 2007 I had another episode with my Gallbladder, lasting 2 days straight. James rushed me back to the ER where they had to perform Emergency Surgery to remove my Gallbladder because one of the stones had escaped and was blocking my common bile duct. I was in the hospital for a week and told that If I had waited one more day, I would have died.

When I was released from the hospital, James and I talked about things, it was a scare and we realized how short life was. We knew from the moment we met we both wanted children badly and we also knew that despite things being tough financially we knew that if we did have a child it WOULD be taken care of, so in July of 2007, we started TTC.

Since then we've had periods where we have stopped trying and periods where we've "Tried" but not very hard. I say this because, knowing what I know now, we didn't try very hard. The only method I used to track my ovulation is a chart that I kept my cycle dates in. I would only put when my period would start and that's it. No Temping, No OPK's, No CM checking or symptom checking.

My cycles were horribly inconsistent. I would have a 16 day cycle one time, then a 62 day cycle and then a 34 day cycle, so it was impossible to tell when I Ovulated, plus my husband and I would only have sex maybe 2 times a month.

Looking back, I'm convinced that we had it all wrong. However, it doesn't change the stigma I have from the many Negative Pregnancy tests I've had to endure over the past 4 years.Where We Are NowToday we are still TTC. We're trying very hard to get pregnant, doing everything we can to increase our chances without doctors and without expensive medications, because we just can't afford doctors or meds.My cycles have been normal for the past year (Between 28-32 days) and I couldn't thank god enough for that. I however do have untreated Hypothyroidism which I was diagnosed with in 2003.You may ask why I use "infertility" to describe our situation if I didn't believe I had done all I could to get pregnant. It's because primary infertility describes couples who have never been able to become pregnant after at least 1 year of unprotected sex. Which is exactly what we have done"

Personal story

Thank you for the stories that have been messaged to us. We hope you find hope and comfort in reading others trials and experiences with trying to conceive.

"Me and my husband have been together for 9 year (high school sweethearts) and married for almost 2. We have been trying to conceive for 1 year 3 months. We found out my husband has a low sperm count.

I recently had a hsg test done and found one of by tubes are blocked and that I may have fibroids. I go in to have if confirmed or denied on the 16th and will get my results on 17th.

It is really stressful at times because all of the people around me getting pregnant so easy even when not trying. Me and my husband have to remind ourselves to relax sometimes because we get so catch up in trying to conceive that we lose sight of each other.

I have came to realization that i'm going to take it one day at a time and put it in God's hands. Its funny because most of the BFP's that have came around have been after people have stopped trying so maybe that will be my case!!!"

This week we are posting a story from one of our facebook friends about her experience trying to conceive.

"We had been trying for a year when I found out I have lupus and was told its going to be hard to conceive. So for right now we are trying with no help but it seems we are going to need the help. We just want are little one.

With having lupus and trying to conceive I take a risk of dying once pregnant. The Dr told me if I do get pregnant there is a 50/50 chance something could go wrong. I also have bud chair syndrome which for my lupus I go in every month and check to make sure I don't have a flare.

With trying to conceive its hard here, I watch my sister have two boys and wonder if God will ever grant me with the same gift. Also were trying to do this on are own without seeing a fertility Dr. I would love to be normal so it may be easier to get pregnant but I am not. I have not had a flare with my lupus for the last 3 years which is a good thing.

I feel like it will never be our turn to have a baby. I don't know yet, I guess I am still young, so maybe it will happened soon. I guess I am willing to try anything to have our little one.

I am the only one with lupus in my family. Having lupus means my body likes to try and kill itself and that's what I am scared about. If I do fall pregnant is my body going to kill it? But my husband has stood with me with this whole journey and never left my side I could not ask for a better husband. I know lady's think that with having lupus you can't have kids. But there is hope for us women don't give up we will get our miracle.

Thanks for letting me share."

PCOS and Trying to Conceive

noreply@blogger.com (Oracle Fertility) — Tue, 20 Sep 2011 11:44:00 +0000

Only a select few will recognise this all to familiar ultrasound picture... what is it you ask?

A Polycystic Ovary.

So many women today are being diagnosed with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome or PCOS. This condition is quite a complex hormonal and metabolic disorder which can have significant impact on women trying to conceive. For many the diagnosis of this is very daunting and frightening as you are thrown into a world of possible symptoms of weight gain, excess hair, acne, scalp hair loss, fertility problems, mood swings, skin tags, and an increased risk of diabetes, just to name a few.

When trying to conceive with PCOS, it is important to recognise that ovulation does not always occur regularly. So the first step is to determine if you are ovulating which you can do via blood tests, daily temperature testing, and/or ovulation detector kits (although these may not be 100% accurate for PCOS). If you find out that you are then it's only a matter of getting the timing right for conception (hope you like the use of the term 'only' - even for the average couple timing can prove quite difficult!)

If you determine that you are not ovulating, our advice would be to initially seek help with naturally stimulating ovulation. It has been found that losing 5% of body fat can help restore ovulation, as can reducing stress, dealing with nutritional deficiencies, and restoring hormonal balance. It is highly possible to have PCOS and become a Mother.

We have some great books for sale at the moment for those suffering with PCOS and encourage you to take a look at our online store ORACLE FERTILITY.

We would like to offer our readers a chance to win a one of our 50 test combination packs made up of 45 ovulation tests and 5 pregnancy tests just by telling us your experience with PCOS.

THE NEXT SURVIVOR SERIES

Six married men
will be dropped on an island
with one car
and 3 kids each
for six weeks.

Each kid will play two sports
and take either music or dance classes.

There is no fast food.

Each man must
take care of his 3 kids;
keep his assigned house clean,
correct all homework,
complete science projects,
cook, do laundry,
and pay a list of 'pretend' bills
with not enough money.

In addition,
each man will have to budget enough money for groceries each week.

Each man
must remember the birthdays
of all their friends and relatives,
and send cards out on time--no emailing.

Each man must also take each child
to a doctor's appointment,
a dentist appointment
and a haircut appointment.

He must make one unscheduled and inconvenient visit per child to the Emergency Room.

He must also make cookies or cupcakes for a school function.

Each man will be responsible for decorating his own assigned house,
planting flowers outside,and keeping it presentable at all times.

The men will only have access to television when the kids are asleep and all chores are done.

The men must shave their legs, wear makeup daily,
adorn themselves with jewellery,
wear uncomfortable yet stylish shoes,
keep fingernails polished, and eyebrows groomed

During one of the six weeks, the men will have to endure severe
abdominal cramps, backaches, headaches, have extreme, unexplained mood swings
but never once complain or slow down from other duties.

They must attend weekly school meetings and church, and find time at least once to spend
the afternoon at the park or a similar setting.

They will need to read a book to the kids each night
and in the morning,
feed them,
dress them,
brush their teeth and
comb their hair
by 7:30 am.

A test will be given at the end of the six weeks, and each father will be required to know all of the following information: each child's
birthday,
height, weight,
shoe size, clothes size,
doctor's name,
the child's weight at birth,
length, time of birth,
and length of labor,
each child's favorite color,
middle name,
favorite snack,
favorite song,
favorite drink,
favorite toy,
biggest fear,
and what they want to be when they grow up.

The kids vote them off the island based on performance.

The last man wins only if...
he still has enough energy to be intimate with his spouse at a moment's notice.

If the last man does win, he can play the game over and over and over again for the next 18-25 years, eventually earning the right to be called Mother!

Pre-Pregnancy Weight and Trying To Conceive

noreply@blogger.com (Oracle Fertility) — Tue, 07 Jun 2011 06:15:00 +0000

When it comes to trying to conceive, your pre-pregnancy weight matters. Both underweight and overweight women can experience difficulties in trying to conceive due to the influence that weight has on our various body systems.

The effects of weight on a woman's hormones has been well researched and documented. As you may or may not know getting pregnant depends heavily on a very intricate "dance" of hormones over your monthly cycle. So it only makes sense that if your hormones are unbalanced then trying to conceive could prove difficult.

Not being in your healthy weight range can also mean you aren't eating a balanced diet. Studies are showing more often that food and fertility are linked for both men and women. So it pays to take a look at your diet and make adjustments accordingly.

Being significantly underweight can lead to many fertility issues such as amenorrhea, the stopping of a womans menstrual cycle, anovulation (not ovulating during your monthly cycle), altered hormones (oestrogen can change and also hinder the effectiveness of clomid) , and even lead to long term issues during the pregnancy (if it is achieved) and in the newborn baby, due to poor diet.

Oracle Fertility has a wide range of books all aimed at maximising your chances of conception through diet. Take a look below.

ovulation test sensitivity

noreply@blogger.com (Oracle Fertility) — Mon, 30 May 2011 10:24:00 +0000

We have been getting a lot of questions lately about

"what is the best sensitivity for ovulation tests?"

Answer - the “average” woman ............is there such a thing? Will have an LH (the hormone that triggers ovulation) level of between 5-20 mIU/ml in her system. When the surge occurs the basal level rises to approximately 50-200 mIU/ml and at this level ovulation occurs and the egg is released from the ovary. This means that for most women the 30-35 mIU ovulation sensitivity tests will be ideal.

So what are our tests - 35mIU - happy egg hunting!

So please be careful buying tests from unreputable online sellers who are either A) lying about the sensitivity of their tests thinking more sensitive is better like with pregnancy tests or b) instructing their manufacturers to be making incorrect sensitivity of their ovulation tests going against best practice.
