How to Have a Girl: A Step-By-Step Guide to Scientifically Maximize Your Chances of Conceiving a Daughter by: J. Martin Young publisher: Young Idea Pub. Division released: 1995-09 ISBN: 0964342022 $19.95

Not once in his book does he tell ONE success story. He writes about several couples who were in the TRYING stages, but didn't share whether they ended up having a boy or a girl. I'm not sure how much stock I would put into this method... but I've not used it personally, so I guess I don't have a personal testimonial one way or the other.

This book was too much to read and too long! For pete sake, we are trying to have a baby, not build a computer. I want a baby girl bad but after several tries of this book that didn't work, I'm going to find an easier way. Amazon, send my money back!

I disagree with the other reviewers. I used this book and followed all of the instructions (no small task!) and had a girl. Maybe it was just luck, but I recommend the book to everyone. The problem is that planning a girl takes a lot of effort - charting, temperature-taking, etc. - but I found the book clear and very easy to use.

OK It wasn't clear. I won't use this. But a word to all other readers -- I've used Shettles twice and it doesn't work! (I have 3 boys).

I have to agree with the other comment on this book. When I bought this book, I also bought the Shettles method book. The Shettles book is a lot clearer and uses scientific evidence, along with actual testimonials, to back up its theories. The author of this book directly contradicts what Dr. Shettles says (which doesn't make sense since Dr. Shettles can prove his theories and this guy cannot)and he offers no proof of his theories. I'm trying for a girl and even though I haven't started yet, I plan to use the Shettles method.

Special Deliveries: Selecting the Gender of Your Baby Before Conception, Boy or Girl?, A Simple, Direct Approach to Conceiving the Child of Your Preference Supported by Scientific Research by: Theresa Hebert publisher: Special Deliveries released: 1995-03 ISBN: 0964877708 $19.95

Why waste your money and time reading this book? In my culture, males are considered better than females, even though I somewhat believe in equality. After 2 daughters, I've spent 7 years looking for a way to have a boy! And I finally found a book that actually worked. But this book had been banned since the early 80's! I lucked out and bought it for a hefty price from a family friend (who didn't want to give it up at any cost). But it was worth it. It's old, ripped up, but useful so I've typed it all. EMail me at frisky1999@mailcity.com to get a photocopy of the original, or a even typed copy of it now!

The 10-15 pages that are given to the topic are informative and helpful. I agree with another reviewer and would suggest going to a library instead of spending money. Interesting concept, but in the end does it really matter?

I have tried the method described in this book 5 times. I hopes of having a girl - well I have 5 wonderful boys. The Author of this book needs to research more - her so called system doesn't work. Also look at the Basal chart she says was her own - funny she can write a book but does not know there are only 30 days in June. I feel this book is a waste of your money & just a way for a mother to make money from people like us!

The 10 pages that are directed at the topic are very helpful. The remainer of this book is nothing more than a written infomerical. I would suggest going to a library instead of spending money that could keep your baby in diapers for 3 or 4 weeks! The statement I remember most from the book is "Remember God makes the final decision".
