The Babydust Method: A Guide to Conceiving a Girl or a Boy Paperback – March 30, 2016

This book was so interesting. I've actually browsed through it again since having my baby because I was so fascinated by it. This book was so easy to understand and it truly made perfect sense. I loved how it explained precious gender selection methods and went into depth about why and how the key factors of the method worked without losing me in the nitty gritty. I meticulously followed the method and we got the boy we were hoping for. Not sure if it was luck or this method but based on the studies she references I would say it wasn't just luck. Thank you!

If you are trying to conceive a Boy or Girl specifically then this is the book to get. The science is solid & the logic behind it. As well as going into detail on the how and why, it keeps the explanations and testing schedule simple. My wife and I were trying one last time for a boy(#3), starting in April 2022. We missed that window so we followed the books instructions and tried a day sooner at the next cycle. Boom! We are now @ 15.5 weeks and the doctor just confirmed, via blood test, that we are having a boy, due January 1st.This book, combined with a box of LH (ovulation) test strips, is a sure fire way to get the gender you want. If at first you don't succeed, adjust the timing by 24 hrs. on her next cycle and try again.

This book was such a great read! I love all of the reference to so many scientific research to back up the Babydust Method. After finishing this book, I recommended it to all my friends who are planning on conceiving. I too will be using this method when the partner and I are ready to embark on this journey. I really enjoyed the graphs and pictures that Kathryn includes and find her writing style so wittingly funny. The website is also quite the gem and it points you in the direction of where you can buy the LH and HGC testing strips. Kathryn thought of everything!What I learned: capacitated sperm is important along with timing, frequency and ovulation.I highly recommend this book if you even you don't think you and your partner are ready for the responsibility of having a child. There's wonderful wealth of knowledge in this book and it's brilliantly written.

After 3 sweet baby girls, my husband found this book when we began to think about adding 1 more to the family. I read it and mapped out my plan. I tracked for 7 months and got pregnant but had a chemical miscarriage. So I added wild yam cream to my regimen to help balance my hormones. After 3 months and a little more research, I began watching Nosagirl on Youtube. I made the decision to push the BD window up to 8-20 hours after my LH surge and this worked. So in total I tracked and BD for 9 months and finally I became pregnant. IT IS A BABY BOY!!!! We are so thrilled. :)

So many intelligent women who wrote thoughtful reviews on this book echoed my experiences with this method as well. There is certainly something to this - I’ve seen the positive results myself, but the huge margin of error just using OPKs can make a person crazy in this process. I tested multiple times and still missed my surge because I was going off info from previous cycles instead of trusting those tiny body-cues. The modern women doesn’t have a whole lot of time to get this method perfectly, which is why Ava bracelets, etc. should be considered helpful and not harmful to the proposed method. I hope Kathryn writes a 2nd book to share more of her findings and includes BBT & other body-tracking methods. Even if she developed her own wearable-device - I’d buy it. We need more research on this topic, and no one else is doing it besides her!

Update: Our sway was successful! We are expecting our boy!It should be noted that the only people who have reviewed this book who DIDN'T conceive the sex they wanted admit they didn't follow the Babydust Method. People who gave the book 4 stars have not tried the method yet.As others have said, the book is incredibly easy to understand and all tips are based on science backed up by animal and human studies.I highly recommend ordering the Wondfo OPKs (to test LH) along with the book, as this testing is critical to the method. I didn't know this and bought the book, only to have to get online two days later to order the testing strips!In addition to the book being an easy, quick read, there is online support from the author. She's very dedicated to answering questions, providing research, and giving you all the support and encouragement you need.We are currently in our 2WW (2-week wait) to see if we conceived but I feel great about our chances of swaying boy- the babydust method brags 94% success when followed correctly!I highly recommend the book to anyone who wants to sway the sex of their baby and doesn't mind doing a little bit of research and data collection to get it!
