A question of (the baby's) sex Part 1 (Teacher: Michael)
In
Select
an
a
the
past few years I've seen
Select
an
a
the
number of patients wanting to know how they can choose
Select
an
a
the
sex of their baby. Reports from different experts around
Select
an
a
the
world have aroused hopes and expectations - and many parents-to-be have come into
Select
an
a
the
surgery convinced that they'll be able to have
Select
an
a
the
boy or
Select
an
a
the
girl with hardly any chance of
Select
an
a
the
error.
The truth is, of course, it isn't possible to provide
Select
an
a
the
100 per cent sure way of ensuring that
Select
an
a
the
couple get
Select
an
a
the
baby they want. But there are lots of people who claim to know of methods which improve
Select
an
a
the
odds
Select
an
a
the
little from
Select
an
a
the
normal 50 per cent chance. Hazel Phillips, for example, worked out
Select
an
a
the
formula that. she claimed has
Select
an
a
the
success rate of over 80 per cent. She described her method in
Select
an
a
the
book called Girl or Boy? that she wrote
Select
an
a
the
few years ago with Tessa Hilton.
According to Hazel,
Select
an
a
the
first thing you have to do is work out when ovulation takes place. There are various ways of doing this, but
Select
an
a
the
simplest is probably to remember that ovulation normally takes place 14, days before
Select
an
a
the
next period starts. It is possible to get
Select
an
a
the
more accurate idea of when ovulation takes place by plotting daily temperatures - but that can be rather tedious and time-consuming.
