Shettles method?

Question

We are trying to sway for a girl and so I've tracked my cycle ect. However, we had sex last night when the ovulation strip was negative ( I'm supposed to ovulate on the 21st) however I've done a ovulation test today and it's positive. Would this be too close to ovulation to have swayed successfully? Thanks ;)

At a guess I'd say one in one hundred people that answer on TTC have a clue what "Shettles" is.. A positive OPK  means your to have sex within the following 12-24 hours, the sooner the better.

I'm not sure how much faith I place in the method.. but have a look at the following:
To Make a Girl

Have intercourse 2-3 days before ovulation and avoid intercourse just before ovulation until 2 days after ovulation and when you have peak cervical fluid: The idea is that when you have sex a few days before ovulation, only the X-chromosome “girl sperm” will be left in the female reproductive tract waiting to fertilize the egg when it is released.

If you conceive, all the very best for your girl.

There are tons of websites that help you generate a calculator to have sex for certain genders. Just Google "ovulation gender calculator" and you can put in your cycle info and it'll tell you what days to abstain and what days to try. Good luck! These might be some helpful tips
