I love Ann Douglas!! i had no idea what the bases were for those old tales so it was both informative and fun!! And sometimes they still read the ultrasounds wrong (i suspect on purpose, in my case)so be careful if you have only had one ultrasound. better to stick to greens or yellows until you have your baby.

The idea behind gender selection with the Whelan Method is to have intercourse four to six days before your basal body temperature goes up if you desire a boy and two to three days before you ovulate for a girl.
