The Shettles method is well-known for having a baby with the expected gender. However, many ask, “does Shettles method work?”. Here are some of the Shettles method success stories found worldwide in my follow-up patients. Although these are few, there are number of fertile and infertile couples in my list of Shettles method success stories.
1. A UK couple got a baby boy after two babies.
I met one couple for online counselling through Online Pregnancy Care a few years back. They had two daughters who were six years and 2years. However, they wanted to have another baby of the male gender. So they contacted me to know if there was any method to have a baby boy. I explained about the high chance of getting a male baby by following the Shettles method.
After going through the Shettles method success stories and reviews found all around the internet, they agree to follow the method.
Then I could track the ovulation dates by following her menstrual cycles for a few months and plan dates for their intercourse for the next few months. They were advised on possible risk of unsuccess of the method and other failures.
They could achieve a pregnancy after three months of consecutive tries.
I and the couple were so happy to see the gender scan report of the baby after a few months. It was a baby.
2. A US couple got a baby girl following the shettles method for 1year
The second on of the Shettles method success stories is from the United States. I met this couple also through an online counseling session. They were a newly married couple at the age of 32 and 36 years to wife and husband respectively.
Although they had a chance to have two babies, they wanted only one when considering the maternal age. So consulted me for some advice on getting a baby soon. Additionally, they were interested in having a baby girl instead of a baby boy.
Considering their age, advising them to get pregnant fast was a big task for me with their additional request. Because when you specially request a baby girl, you must avoid intercourse on most fertile days. But still have to practice intercourse during the fertility window.
So I gave them a sex calendar for six months while advising them to have pre-conceptional folic acid and some other multivitamins. They failed to have an after six months. Then they were a bit nervous about the failure to get conceive. However, again I could motivate them to try for another six months.
During the second six months, I had to keep motivating them to avoid any emotional and psychological stress to infertility.
However, at the end of 1 year, they could conceive. Luckily it was a baby girl.
They said me “Wow Shettles method successfully worked for us, You can add us to your Shettles method success stories too”.
3. Indian couple got baby boy: another one from shettles method success stories.
Indian couple with four baby girls needed to have at least one boy for them. They contacted me for advice two years back. They already had followed different techniques to get a boy. Those included some religious works too.
They could have a baby boy in 9 months by following of Shettles method properly.
4. A Bangladesh couple got a baby after years of infertility.
I incidentally found a couple with infertility through Online pregnancy care – Facebook page. After going through the investigations and treatments done for the last few years, I could identify that smoking might be the causative factor for the issue. They have not given much attention to terminating smoking to have a baby.
After a lengthy discussion, we could agree to terminate the smoking before further treatments.
They asked to support having a baby boy as their 1st baby if possible. As the couple was very young, I still had a much time to make them pregnant. So I agree with that and have given a plan for them. They took around one year to get pregnant. It was a boy, as they expected.
So the couple was immensely thankful to me. This was one of the unforgettable Shettles method success stories for me.

Luckily there was no issue with the husband or wife except for this erectile dysfunction.
They got pregnant only within three months of the time of following the Shettles method. It was a baby girl, as they expected too. This was another one of the best issues I could settle with the Shettles method.

Risk of following the Shettles method
It’s lucky, if you success in getting pregnant with the exact gender for your baby with Shetles method. I wish all you should get success in your expectation. There are adequate number of couples who followed and ended up in shettles method success stories.
But suppose you get failed in getting pregnant with your expected sex. So do you continue your pregnancy with disappointment or terminate the pregnancy?
As a fertility consultant I do not advice any abortions unless its confirmed case of congenital abnormalities.
Therefore do not try shettles method, if you are not happy to have baby from other sex.
