Baby Gender

Baby Gender is based on the biological rhythms of the baby's parents. This method tries to identify which chromosomes are stronger at the time of conception, the males or the females, based on the birth date of the parents.
This calculation is based on decades of nursery personnel experience and is not a scientifically based or proved procedure. Other factors that influence the gender of the baby are well known and cannot be controlled using this method so this won't be a 100% prediction.
Based on an ample test group, the approximate effectiveness of this method is around 78% and it is only applicable to natural conceiving. To test the accuracy of this method you could use data of already born children or even yourself using the birth date of your parents.
Always remember that no method could give you a 100% certainty, but for sure this is a fun way to amaze your pregnant friends with how accurate your predictions are.

How to use the Ovulation Calendar
To generate your ovulation calendar you will need to provide three different details:
• Date of your last period.
• Average length of your periods.
• Length of your Luteal Phase.
If you are not sure of the length of either your period or your Luteal Phase, you may use the default values, which represent the average woman.
Although this calendar works best for women with regular periods or menstrual cycles, the average cycle length is also a valid way to predict when the ovulation is happening or should happen.
Becoming pregnant or avoiding pregnancy
The most fertile days for a woman are during ovulation. Having intercourse prior to ovulation or just after it, is a highly recommended form of conceiving a baby.
Gender of your baby (The Shettles Method)
According to Dr. Landrum Shettles and David Rorvik, authors of “How to Choose the Sex of Your Baby”, this method is the most used and most effective. According to this method Y-chromosomes, for boys, move faster but don't last as long as X-chromosomes, for girls, Dr Shettles says it makes sense to have sex as close as possible to ovulation if what you want is a boy. But if what you want to conceive is a girl you should try to conceive two or more days before you ovulate.
Method limitations
There are a few things that you should keep in mind when using any Ovulation Calendar. These factors affect the accuracy of the Ovulation and conception calculation:
• If your cycle is less than 21 days long or more than 35 days long.
• If you cycle is more than 35 days long.
• If your cycle is irregular from month to month.
• Your need to have a Luteal Phase between 9 and 16 days.
