WHOA – Yes, I had the book back in 1982 – don’t know what happened to it, but it was invaluable in that it TAUGHT me HOW to enhance the odds of conceiving, the whole “can I can conceive a boy or girl by choice” and the odds. So it is FAR more than interviews! Did you even READ all the chapters? Did you see the photos of MALE producing sperm, which can be seen by black light, and the female producing sperm that can not be seen that way? One has triangular heads, the other has round… the PROBABILITY that males are favored to SURVIVE in an alkaline environment (2 tablespoons or baking soda to 1 quart of water in a douche) and females are favored to survive the VINEGAR environment (same ratio, with vinegar instead of baking soda). It tells how the Japanese Emperor Hirohito had his wife conceive a male heir with the “baby boy baking soda” theory… it tells also how, athough this raises the most effective environment for conceiving one or the other, that the one thing that has never been tested is whether or not the MAN actually produces more of one type of sex oriented sperm than the other. It FULLY explains the basal body temperature taking element – how a woman can’t just KNOW if it is the time in the MIDDLE OF THE DAY, but that her temp must be taken before she even raises out of bed to use the bathroom, or take a drink of water. I know this, because I tested myself. I wrote down my temps I got by sticking the thermometer in my mouth at the crack of light through my eyelids. The temps read like this: 92.3 – 93.1 – 94.1 – 92.1 – and at one point went as “high” as: 96.2 – but if I moved out of bed, the temps were IMMEDIATELY 98.6, and I could NOT tell what the actual basal temp of my body was. When I grafted it out after 3 months, I could see the spike, which stayed up for an entire week- then a drop, followed immediately by my period. This is all explained, and takes up far more of the book than the “do you really want a baby” interviews. Yes, she puts that in I am sure to side step the urgency to use the formula for boy or girl making, and it does make you think about the CHOICE of getting pregnant, BUT – the scientific part of conceiving is MOST of the book! You should re-read this….. I no longer have the book, but I remember it clearly more than 30 years later, with a son and daughter to boot!
