Has anyone used this method or purchased the book? I am interested in trying to conceive for a boy this time round (won't matter if have a girl, but would like a boy too).

Does anyone know the success rate?:)

Hey hun!

We used it to try and have a girl, we got Deeky instead (and wouldn't change him for ANYTHING :D)

I do remember if you are chasing a boy, baby dance around 2 days before you O and up until 2 days after you O. Boy sperm are lasier than female sperm, so when you O, there is more mucous (TMI) for the male sperm to get to the finish line (they burn out quicker, bit like a bull at a gate ;p)

ETA: If you can, try an orgasm as well, it help contract everything and get the male sperm there quicker ;)

I bought the book and was really keen to try it... until I realised that it could take alot longer to conceive (for a girl) so that idea went out the window!

I have heard eating high alkaline foods will help, and for a girl eating acidic foods will help. Try this table http://www.energiseforlife.com/list_of_alkaline_foods.php
