The Babydust Method: A Guide to Conceiving a Girl or a Boy Kindle Edition

I read several books on sex selection and this book was my favorite. It was easy to follow, to the point, and made the most sense. Rather than having you track several fertility signs, which can be confusing and unreliable, the author has you track your LH surge. I followed the instructions in this book to help increase my chance of conceiving a girl. I got pregnant on the first try and ultrasound and blood tests have confirmed we're expecting a baby girl! So thrilled!!

I give this book 3 stars for effort and for knowledge. Unfortunately after following the book closely, we just found out that we are pregnant with our 3rd girl. Realistically, despite the authors claims to high percentages swayed, I will listen to a real doctor from now on (which the author is not) and know that your chances are 50/50. Some may have gotten lucky using this method but if you want a sure thing I now believe only IVF with PGS can deliver that. If you think you might be disappointed by a certain gender (which is likely why you are looking into swaying) then you need to look elsewhere.

I have 5 sons and will be swaying for a girl in April 2021. I have never before attempted a sway. I have read this book and am a part of the Facebook community, but have not attempted the method yet. I do have a major issue with this book though....I have been practicing a sympto-thermal method of Fertility Awareness for pregnancy prevention and have therefore been charting my cycle for over a year now. I am very knowledgeable about charting fertility and advocate for body literacy, and I believe this book does a major disservice to women in its method, particularly for those swaying girl.For the girl timing, you need to time your bd a few days in advance of ovulation, and therefore there will always be a predictive element; however, by requiring a woman to rely ONLY on a LH strips and basing your timing on the average peak day over 3 cycles is totally RECKLESS and affords too great of a margin for error.Our bodies are not robots and we canNOT predict future cycles based on past cycles. Furthermore, a positive LH strip by itself does not mean ovulation will actually be successful. You need to chart BBT to actually CONFIRM ovulation, and that is strongly discouraged by the author.Furthermore, if you are going to chart your cycle for those 3 months, you might as well (and should) chart as many biomarkers as possible, instead of relying on a single marker and then hoping your body does the same thing the month you ttc, which isn’t that likely.Charting your cervical fluid (your PRIMARY fertile indicator), cervical opening and position and confirming ovulation via charting bbt in ADDITION to the LH strips would provide a much broader view of ones own cycle and pattern so that when it is sway month, you can evaluate where you are in real time.For example, I average 5 days of peak quality fluid prior to ovulation and therefore should time my bd for the 3rd day of that fluid (giving me a 3 day cut off) regardless of when it happens. I can determine that in real time, based on my own fertile indicators, and not putting all my eggs in one basket by relying on one marker and an average.So, even I ovulate early or late for what I’m expecting, I can still get the timing right because I’m actually using my body in real time as my guide.So, my biggest problem with the book is that it really could have been developed further to be of much more help to women, and it discourages things that actually would be extremely beneficial. Whether she does this out of ignorance or because of simplicity and the fact that most women are not body literate I’m not sure, but either way, it is a major disservice.

I purchased this book in the summer and after reading it a few times. My husband and I decided to try it out. I bought the LH strips needed to help me track my period for 3 months and nailed it the first time we tried. On Jan 10, we had a gender reveal dinner and it was confimred the method worked for us. After 3 healthy boys we are expecting our little girl in July. I highly recommend buying the book it is very informative, easy to read and follow. Baby Dust Method my family and I can not thank you enough for helping us make our dream come true. Can not wait to hold Emily Rose in our arms. Good Luck and baby dust to you all.

I have two beautiful boys and am now expecting a baby girl! Genetic testing confirmed.I used an Ava bracelet to track my cycle for 4 months, then followed the plan outlined in the book. I also used OPK strips. This made so much more sense than anything I read online and it’s backed in science!I wish this book would have been published a long time ago.

I read this book after my husband and I decided we wanted to try for one more baby. We were really hoping to give our son a brother and thought it couldnt hurt to give it a try! We found out we were expecting after the first attempt and genetics testing revealed we are getting another son!This book is super easy to read and backed up by science. It’s probably the easiest method you could ever try as well. Timing is everything! After you read the book, check out her Facebook group! The author is always happy to help clear up any confusion.

I love the science behind this. After 3 girls my husband and I wanted to try one more time for a boy. We would of been happy either way but we were definitely praying for a boy to close this chapter in our lives. We followed the very simple instructions and 2 weeks ago we found out we are expecting our first son!!! Highly recommend this book to couples.

Even though it may seem that the author is basing her recommendations on logic and science, the fact simply is that the majority of our scientific community and doctors do not believe there is a way to sway the gender of the baby. So, please don't waste your time, money and effort with this book only to end up with disappointment and a 50/50 chance anyways.

I bought this book near the start of the year to try to conceive a girl later in the year. I read the book and joined the fb group for advice and support. The book is easy to read and to follow. However for me after following the book perfectly, I conceived a boy so my perfect 'sway' failed. It's hard to recommend this book as it didn't work for me, it's always a 50/50 chance regardless so it's no harm in trying but just keep in mind it's not guaranteed to work.

There has been no girls born on my OH paternal side in 60 years and with having a son together I honestly thought I was only going to have boys! After some research I found the BDM and followed it completely. You can't believe our shock when we found out that it worked and I'm having the first girl born after 60 years! The odds were completely against me but with a little hope and some BDM our dreams have come true. I can't thank Kathryn enough for writing this book. Her methods do work aslong as you do everything she says for your desired gender. I so hope others will have the same results! If your yearning for a certain gender just give this method a try. You might be very surprised like myself and have it work!

We used this book after having two girls and wanting to try for a boy. Followed the methods, used the tests. We conceived very quickly, but waited until baby was born to see the sex. We had another beautiful healthy baby girl so the method didn’t work for us. We are blessed to have a healthy girl. It’s important to remember this book is a not a guaranteed method. I convinced myself, as did my husband that I was carrying a boy because we had this book “our secret weapon”, which for some people I can see resulting in disappointment and maybe bonding problems if not exactly what you was hoping for.In all honestly it really is 50/50 on what you get , and I don’t think any method, diet will change that odds

I spent months researching how to conceive a girl. I got myself very confused and frustrated at conflicting advice on the internet. This book doesn't ask you to follow a silly diet or take a certain supplement. Instead, it gives simple and clear advice on increasing the chances of conceiving the sex of your choice. If you follow the instructions then your chances of conceiving your chosen gender are high and I must say it worked for me! I am now pregnant with a baby girl. The book is quick and simple to read and the author (Kathryn) is lovely! She answered questions for me and was very warm and friendly! I can't thank her enough!!!! This book is a must for anyone who wants to conceive a certain sex. Good luck to you all and I hope you all get the baby you are dreaming of :)

Thought I’d better update after buying this book in 12/17. There’s so much crazy advice online I wanted a straightforward guide. Followed it with the goal of a girl with the star sign of Aries. Monitored my ovulation as the book advises and followed the important timing rules.Anyway I’m holding my Aries girl as I’m writing this review 🥰 it can def work if you follow it carefully!
