To start with, your Home Kit will take some time (7-10 days) to arrive in the mail after your purchase. (It will take longer if you are located outside of North America.)
Keep in mind that this is a 3-step method, and you have to complete Step #1 and Step #2 before you are ready to start trying to conceive, which is final Step #3.
Testing your pH level (Step #1) will only take 5 days once you have received your Home Kit in the mail. However, you need to make sure that your period won’t start on any of those 5 days you will be testing. (Having a period will alter your pH test results, and make them inaccurate.)
Adjusting your pH level (Step #2) depends on what your pH level is, and how far off it is (or not) from where it needs to be. Therefore, it can take anywhere from 0 to 12 weeks. It varies from one woman to another.
The now famous ‘Crucial Dates’ to conceive the desired gender are part of final Step #3 (conception) and therefore, will be made available at a later stage in the program.
This is a ‘step-by-step’ method, with each step building on the previous one. Each step is dependent on the output of the previous step. There’s a linear progression to the way this 3-step method unfolds.
Regardless of which membership plan you choose, you have access to 1 step at a time. Starting with Step #1, and gradually moving to Step #2 followed by final Step #3 (with the guidance from the ladies on the member support team).
When to Join?
If you wish to start trying to conceive as soon as possible, you need to join the program (get your Home Kit) as soon as possible.
As a general rule, the ideal time to join is 8 to 12 weeks prior to when you wish to start trying to conceive (which is final step #3).
Life happens!
If you want/need to put your membership plan on hold for any reason (at any time after your purchase), you can do so (once only) — for either 30 or 60 days.
To start with, please allow us to clarify something:
We’ve been “Often Copied, But Never Equaled” – also known as “Often Imitated, Never Duplicated”.
We have been proudly sharing and teaching the 3-step gender selection method for the last 28 years and finding great joy in doing so. Unfortunately, over the last 10 to 12 years, a lot of other gender selection methods started to appear all over the internet, made up by ‘copycats’ who are obviously trying to make a dime out of people’s dreams. That’s not only a shame, but also a sad reality – something you need to be aware of as you search the web for natural gender swaying methods. Just be careful, use your best judgement, and accept no substitute or imitation.
==> What is the 3-step method based on?
Our method is 100% unique. It is different from / has nothing to do with:
– Chinese Calendars
– Astrology / Religion
– Shettles or Whelan or Billings
– BabyDust or GenderDreaming
– GenSelect or SmartStork
– The ‘Ovulation Method’
– Old Wives’ Tales / Urban Legend
… or anything else you have ever ‘heard’ of or ‘read’ about.
The 3-step method is quite simple. It is based on the (scientific) fact that the body’s pH level of a woman has an impact on her internal environment (reproductive tract) and consequently, has an impact on the gender of the baby she will conceive. There are a lot of articles, research, and studies on the subject that you can find online and read about.
Half of your success with the 3-step method relies on testing your pH level and adjusting / maintaining your pH level to make sure it is optimal / favorable to the conception of the desired gender. The other half is attributed to strictly attempting conception on the ‘Crucial Dates‘ each month, until pregnancy is achieved.
We have been assisting thousands of families from all over the world since 1996. It has been validated beyond doubt (from close follow-up and data compiling) that there are very specific and limited dates (not ‘days’) on which a woman will successfully conceive the gender of her choice at a very high level of success, as long as her body’s pH level is in the optimal zone required.
There will be 4 specific (and consecutive) dates each month on which you will attempt conception, after you have completed the first 2 steps of the method (testing your pH level and adjusting your pH level). Those 4 dates are not the same each month / they change from one year to another as well. We call them ‘Crucial Dates’ because they are crucial to your success.
Our now famous ‘Crucial Dates’ to conceive a specific gender are not based on any of your personal information. We do not ‘calculate’ them based on your cycle either. In other words, they are not tailored to you / they are not ‘your’ dates specifically.
That being said, they obviously need to fall within, or very close to your overall fertile window. Or else, you wouldn’t be able to achieve conception in the first place, let alone conceive the gender of your choice. If the ‘Crucial Dates’ fall outside of your fertile window, you will be able to use an optional tool to change that. (You can find more information in another section of this F.A.Q. page.)
Please note: With this method, you do not need to pinpoint the exact day of your ovulation. That takes a lot of the work and stress away. As soon as you will reach the ‘optimal’ pH level required to conceive the desired gender, you will start attempting conception on the ‘Crucial Dates’ – regardless of them falling on (what you believe, guess or predict to be) before, during (same day) or after your ovulation day. (You really need to trust us on this one! Remember, 28 years of success stories to support that.)
The ‘Crucial Dates’ have been proven to produce the desired gender since 1996. However, remember that this is not just about one of those 4 dates that you need to conceive on. You also must make sure that your pH level is in the optimal range required as well. This is super important and counts for half of your success with this 3-step method.
The origin, and the exact theory behind the ‘Crucial Dates’ is something that only the founder knows about (a well-kept secret). Hopefully, not knowing that piece of information won’t prevent you from using this proven method. What really matters is the tens of thousands of families who have used those specific dates to conceive for over two and a half decades, and the ‘end result’ (desired gender) they have produced – when paired with the optimal pH level.
Long story short – make extra sure that your pH level is optimal AND to only attempt conception on the ‘Crucial Dates’. You’ll be glad you did.
Sounds too good to be true?
We’ve been in your shoes; we are mothers too. We know that the outcome of using a gender selection method is very important to you. Of all the families we have helped in the past, along with the ones we are currently helping – most of them were/are somewhat skeptical (and scared too), to various degrees. This is not only normal, but to be expected with such a delicate subject matter.
By letting that skepticism and fear take over in your decision process, your alternatives are either a costly and invasive procedure in a clinic or doing nothing, leaving it to fate, and accepting the usual 50% odd of getting the gender you wish for. There’s nothing wrong with those 2 options, it is your decision to make.
By deciding to follow the 3-step gender selection method, families find comfort in knowing they’re doing everything they possibly can to significantly increase the odds in their favor. As it turns out, the outcome of following the program often ends up winning over the initial fear and skepticism, for a lot of them.
This is a very good question and one that our dedicated customer care team receives frequently.
NO – This method is not guaranteed to work for you with 100% success rate. If you’re on this page, we believe you’re more conscious than that.
If you ever run into any gender selection method or technique that promises you 100% guaranteed results, they are not being honest with you.
However, if you have strong desire to select the gender of your baby naturally and if you’re ready to take matters into your own hands and to do everything in your power to drastically increase the odds in your favor, this is exactly what our Home Kit will do for you.
It can work for you regardless of your age, having a regular cycle or not, your family history or how many kids you have and their gender.
Your own success with this method relies on the use that you will make of the 3 steps involved, clear step-by-step instructions provided and how committed you are to make it work for you and your family.
If you do follow the 3 steps exactly as instructed (it’s simple but it requires dedication and commitment), then your chances of conceiving the desired gender will increase drastically.
Here are 4 reasons why our method would NOT work for you:
1. You’re skeptical – you think this is ‘too good to be true’ and you leave this website.
2. Your pH level is not in the optimal zone required at the time of conception.
3. You conceive outside of the specific Crucial Dates we provide you with.
4. Your husband/partner is unable to conceive a specific gender because his sperm does not contain any X (or Y) chromosome (or not enough / too weak). This is a very rare condition.
Reasons 1, 2 and 3 above are 100% within your control. We tell you exactly what to do, and when to do it.
Don’t settle for 50% chance of getting the gender you want and don’t let ‘Mother Nature’ decide for you. Take matters into your own hands and get your Home Kit today!
Are you currently on birth control or having an intrauterine contraceptive device (IUD)?
We often get asked if it’s possible to join and get your Home Kit early while still using birth control methods.
The answer is yes, even if you are currently on birth control (of any type), you can still (and should) join and get started as it will not interfere with the accuracy of your pH test results, nor with the pH level’s adjustment process.
The minimum requirement is to test your pH level once a month for 5 consecutive days, right before your Crucial Dates start.
However, we recommend to test your pH level at least twice a month to keep track and to make sure that it is being maintained at the level it has to be. It allows you to adjust (or re-adjust) it, if need be.
It is important to test your pH level every month until pregnancy is achieved.
* Important Fact to Know About pH Level Test Strips:
There are many different types and brands available on the market and they all differ significantly in their quality, accuracy and effectiveness.
Consequently, the results and readings that you will get from using various brands will be different.
The high-grade quality pH level test strips (and matching color chart) included in our gender selection Home Kit have the highest accuracy level on the market.
The only way to ensure accurate pH testing along with reliable & consistent readings is to strictly use the gender selection pH test strips that we provide you with. This is very important.
The optimal pH level required to conceive the desired gender, which counts for 50% of your success with this method, is only available to active members who are following the 3-step gender selection method. This crucial piece of information is shared around week #6 in the program, on average. It varies slightly from one woman to another, based on a few different factors.
Yes, it is safe to adjust and maintain your pH level within the range required to conceive the desired gender.
For your information, the typical American diet, which is way too high in acid-producing animal products (like meat, eggs and dairy) and far too low in alkaline-producing foods (like fresh vegetables) results in most people having a very acidic pH level, throughout their entire life.
Additionally, remember that this pH level adjustment process is only temporary and that your body’s pH will return to its natural level (on its own) shortly after you’ll stop using our pH adjustment tools.
Please rest assured that adjusting your pH level for a short period of time will not have a negative impact on your overall health.
The Crucial Dates to conceive the desired gender are part of final step #3 of the program. They will be provided to you after you have completed the first 2 steps of the 3-step method successfully.
You have to make sure that you have reached the optimal pH level required to conceive the desired gender before claiming access to the next available set of monthly Crucial Dates.
Please note that the Crucial Dates and times are different from one month to the other. They change from one year to another as well.
Couples often wonder how many times they should have intercourse on the Crucial Dates.
You can have intercourse as many times as you wish starting on the first Crucial Date and all the way through the last Crucial Date provided (within the specific times given).
Within that time frame (over the course of those 4 days), we recommend a total of at least 2 or 3 times.
Trying to conceive at least once on each one of those 4 Crucial Dates is ideal and preferable in order to increase your chances of getting pregnant.
If the ‘Crucial Dates’ to conceive the desired gender fall on (or close to) your period, it simply means that your menstrual cycle is not favorable for the conception of that particular gender for that month. One more reason to use the 3-step method, which not only prevents you from conceiving the opposite gender than the one you desire — it ensures that you will only attempt conception on the 4 specific dates of the month that produce the desired gender (when paired with the optimal pH level).
A woman’s cycle changes frequently. All women can conceive the desired gender, depending on which cycle conception occurs. By following the 3-step method to conceive the gender you wish for, you will have the privilege to know exactly when to try to conceive / only when your cycle is favorable for the gender you want. When paired with the optimal pH level required to conceive that specific gender, it explains why the success rate of this method is so high.
The ‘Crucial Dates’ gradually change from one month to another, and so does your cycle. Therefore, your fertile window will eventually line-up with the ‘Crucial Dates’. It always happens, sooner or later, but obviously varies (as far as when and/or how long it takes) from one woman to another.
As successful as the 3-step method is (25+ years track record), your top priority has to be the gender you will conceive, over the exact month on which conception will occur. Giving birth to the gender you’re longing for is well worth it, correct?
That being said, if you’re anxious to get pregnant, and if you don’t want to wait for that ‘natural’ timing to come, you can use an optional tool (Timing Kit) to alter your cycle, and line-up your fertile window with the Crucial Dates sooner. (Sold separately – $49 USD.)
You will find all the information you need about the ‘Timing Kit’ inside our private (members only) training & support center. Also, the ladies from the member support team will help you determine if you should (or shouldn’t) consider using it (based on your specific cycle), and will assist you throughout the process if you decide to go ahead with that option.
The lifespan of sperm in a woman’s body is largely dependent on cervical fluid since it provides the sperm with the nutrients they need to survive during their journey to the ovum. The typical lifespan of sperm in a woman’s body while fertile cervical fluid is present is three days, but in the right conditions sperm can even live up to five days. However, it is important to note that sperm do not typically survive for five days, even in fertile cervical fluid. A life span of 1 to 3 days is much more typical.
Based on that theory, our customer care team often receives this question:
“Since there are 4 Crucial Dates each month to conceive the desired gender, what if I get pregnant on the last and 4th date you have provided me with? Would I still get pregnant with the desired gender?”
Excellent question! And the answer is yes, since the lifespan of sperm has already been taken into consideration when we provided you with the Crucial Dates. Consequently, you can have intercourse as many times as you wish, starting on the 1st Crucial Date provided and all the way through the very last and 4th Crucial Date inclusively, within the specific times given.
Trust the method, follow the 3 steps exactly as instructed and the outcome will amaze you…

We are well aware of Dr. Landrum Shettles ‘timing’ theory pretending that:
“The closer to ovulation you have intercourse, the better the chances to conceive a baby boy and that for a baby girl it is best to conceive a few days prior to ovulation.”
However, an alarming (very large) number of families have used that technique for decades and failed repeatedly. We receive emails every month from parents who tell us that unfortunately, they are one of them.
From our vast experience, proven track records and with the outstanding success rate we’ve had since 1996, we can assure you that our method and Home Kit is a lot more accurate and reliable.
The perfect timing between your fertile window (ovulation) and our ‘Crucial Dates’ to conceive the desired gender is something to be very excited about! Forget about Dr. Shettles and have intercourse on the Crucial Dates you were given (as long as your pH level is in the optimal pH zone required).
Have faith in our proven method, follow the 3 simple steps exactly as instructed and be one of our Success Stories!
Women with PCOS wonder if they can get a Home Kit and use the 3-step method, regardless of their condition.
Over the past 2 decades, a lot of women with PCOS were successful at conceiving the gender of their choice by using the 3-step gender selection method.
PCOS, as you are aware, may have an impact on your ability to conceive and/or how long it will take to become pregnant. But it does not interfere with gender selection.
Same applies to any other medical condition.
Couples with fertility issues wonder if our method can help increase fertility.
As accurate as our gender selection method is, it has no positive (or negative) influence over fertility issues, or the ability to conceive and get pregnant.
However, please note that since 1996, a lot of couples with fertility issues have succeeded at conceiving the gender of their choice by using our Home Kit along with their infertility treatment plan.
For your information, taking fertility medications (like Clomid for example) will not interfere with our proven method. As a matter of fact, many of our members even used their fertility drug to line-up their ovulation with the Crucial Dates to conceive the desired gender.
