From now on, my “Shettles How To” essay will be behind a paywall - accessible either here in the paid section of my Substack, or by purchasing my eBook “Honest Timing for Natural Gender Selection”.
Timing doesn’t work. It doesn’t sway at all, and most of us who have come and gone on sites like Gender Dreaming or InGender have 2-3-4 or more Shettles opposites to prove it (I have four timing opposites myself!) I have a detailed essay laying out the case against Shettles timing here: The Trouble With Timing.
The following directions are for those of you who want to use Shettles anyway. It’s your sway, your way!
Just be sure you are also using the sway tactics that DO work (diet, exercise, number of attempts) at the same time you are using Shettles. And when it comes time to drop things to conceive, please drop timing long before you drop diet, exercise, and controlling the number of attempts. Don’t keep hanging on to timing while dropping the things that actually do sway!
