For many people, having a large family isn't a reasonable option. Fortunately, medical science has ushered in a new era of family balancing where couples can determine their baby's sex. Guarantee the Sex of Your Baby guides prospective parents step-by-step through the maze of options currently available - from the unpredictable (and now outdated) timing methods, to highly effective sperm sorting, to the preimplantation genetic diagnosis, which guarantees accuracy. This book includes information on the Shettles Method, O+12, Ericsson Method, MicroSort®, supplements and diets to help you choose a girl or boy for your next pregnancy.

The author describes the most advanced methodologies in simple lay terms so that they are easily understood. But Guarantee the Sex of Your Baby does more than explain how the technology works - it prepares the reader for the personal experience of fertility drugs, artificial insemination, and/or in vitro fertilization. A bonus chapter details the added medical benefits of genetic testing, including preimplantation screening for single gene defects like cystic fibrosis, B thalassemia, Tay-Sachs disease, sickle cell disease, and Huntington's disease.
What others are saying about Guarantee the Sex of Your Baby:
"This book is great because it covers the entire spectrum of sex selection methods available, from the low tech to the high tech. But it really focuses on the most effective scientific methods, unlike "How to Choose the Sex of Your Baby," which just focuses on the pseudo-scientific Shettles Method.
"The Shettles Method is just a timing method, and it only works slightly better than half the time. And when you really want a child of one sex or the other, why take that chance? Especially when there are methods like PGD, which are more expensive but work almost 100% of the time. "

"I really loved this book! This book provides the technical data one needs when making decisions about sex selection. However, the best part of this book is the emphasis and helpful advice on discussions (the many discussions) one has with family, friends and physicans. Weiss does an excellent job of aiding the reader with talking points for a variety of people the reader might encounter. She also does an excellent job of freeing the reader from thinking that he or she has to talk about it at all or defend it. Weiss reminds the reader that she is control and when you are surrounded by experts and an unlimited supply of medical jargon, it is liberating for someone to remind you of that!"

"If you're interested in the most advanced sex selection methods that today's medical science has to offer, author Robin Elise Weiss offers a basic overview of the Ericsson Method, MicroSort sperm sorting, and PGD. Soundly denouncing popular at-home methods as ineffective and "tried-but-not-true", Weiss pitches the high tech options she says you can't afford not to use. She also offers advice on issues ranging from broaching the subject to your spouse, finding out the baby's sex, and dealing with disappointment, to financing your high tech venture."
