In addition, Schoun the time frame which the egg
is electrically charged one way or the other can range
from one to ten days in a calendar month and can change
from month to month. So, for example, in January you
may have ten consecutive days on which your egg is
charged in a way that attracts the X sperm, while
in February, you nay have only three days when this
occur. So, by coordinating your most fertile time,
( the six days before ovulation) with the days when
your egg is attracted to either the X or the Y sperm,
you can plan sexual relationship to coincide with
the conception with either a boy or a girl.

Dr Castro who is the technical director responsible fo the application of the method and technical adviser to doctors,
gynaecologists and scientists quotes: "Further to the clinical tests we now have the results of the first year's use of the method by the general public. It can be expected that some parents will
not have properly followed the disciplines of the conception chart so the results will not match the high success rate obtained in the clinical tests." |
How a Computer came
to the rescue
While Dr Schoun's theories were rapidly proving to
be right the individual's calculations involved in
determining the correct time to have sex were staggering.
Indeed it was nearly impossible for a couple to figure
out the method on their own.
Finally however, a group of French scientists found
a way to enter all the necessary scientific date about
the gender selection theory into a computer. They
also included some personal information about the
couple ( including menstrual history, contraception
use, and reproductive history) as well as for preference
for either a boy or a girl. The end result was the
development of the SELNAS / CHOICE method - a personalized
twelve month gender selection calendar that clearly
spelled out the days on which a particular egg would
attract either the X or Y sperm for an entire year.
Of course the SELNAS / CHOICE method does not predict
ovulation - therefore it cannot help you get pregnant.
What it can do however, is point out on which days
of the month you are most likely to conceive either
a boy or a girl. Then, by using your personal ovulation
chart to determine, your most fertile time ( five
days before, and the day of , ovulation) you can use
the calendar to conceive a child of the gender of
your choice.
If, in any given month your gender selection days
do not fall within your natural ovulation period you
will not get pregnant.
How well does this system work? A six year study of
155 couples (1989 - 1994) yielded a success rate of
98.7% - 153 of the 155 couples conceived the gender
they desired. For the record, 81 of those couples
wished to have a girl ( 52.3%) while 74 hoped for
a boy (47.7%). As of 1999 approximately fifteen hundred
parents have used the SELNAS to select the sex of
their baby, with accuracy remaining between 96 and
98 percent.
Additionally 95 percent of the mothers ( women who
did not necessary have fertility problems ) who used
the SELNAS calendar in conjunction with their natural
ovulation pattern conceived a child of their desired
gender within 8 months, with most getting pregnant
within 4 months. On rare occasions, when s woman£r
cycle is extremely irregular, or her ovulation does
not coincide with any SELNAS/ CHOICE gender selection
dates, French physicians often prescribe low dose
birth control pills (Loestrin 1/20-21) for one month
to help create ovulation on desired days.
The SELNAS/ CHOICE Natural Gender Selection Technique
( including the personalize calendar) is available
in the United States ( see Resources section at the
end of this book ) costing under $400.The Company
that prepares the computerized calendars ( Laboratories
Prokiad International, in France) offers a 100% money
back guarantee to any couple to follow the method
and conceive a child of the opposite gender.
Finally, because the SELNAS/ CHOICE method is not
affected by miscarriage, if you should lose a pregnancy
during a calendar year, you can continue to use your
specific dates for future conceptions in the remaining
months - you won't need to purchase a new calendar.
Unfortunately, however, the SELNAS calendar method
does not appear to be as effective when fertility
drugs are used to help achieve pregnancy.
