Hope is not a Strategy. Gender Determination is never 50/50 odds.

Since its founding in 2010, GenderDreaming.com has created the world’s largest community for learning and sharing information about natural gender selection and high-tech gender selection including IVF with PGD. Our extensive collections of reviews, advice, and expert Q&A make GenderDreaming the most trusted resource for those who are looking for help beyond the traditional roll of the dice for the gender of their next baby.

In July of 2010, I gave birth to my son after 3 girls.  He was conceived using IVF with PGD.  Although the process was not easy, we found a way to make it happen and now our family is complete!

Shortly after that, I launched GenderDreaming.com with a friend that is an expert in Natural Gender Selection as a way to unite families that long for a particular gender and to build a global community that share the same goal.  We started off with a community forum  that is now filled with information about how to conceive your Dream Gender and it is a great place to share your story and ask for help.  On this platform I shared my knowledge about How to Have a Boy or Girl either through IVF or Natural Gender Selection and provided support and inspiration for others. Ultimately, the goal was to provide the tools necessary for families to feel confident about their desire for a particular gender, and I also wanted to end the negative stereotypes about Gender Desire meaning one is ungrateful with what he or she has today.  If that was the case, we would all stop at one child and call it a day!

Are you dreaming of a little girl or boy? If you are seeking ways to tilt your odds or even get a gender guarantee with your next pregnancy, you have come to the right place.

This is a site that supports those that have a Gender Dream. Gender awareness lays skin deep and is a constant reminder to our sexual differences. Indeed, the importance to all of us of a baby’s sex is revealed in the first question we nearly ask upon news of a pregnancy or a newborn: “Is it a boy or a girl?” And in almost every one of us, hidden is a preference or a desire for a particular gender even though we may not admit it to ourselves or others.

We have 20 years of collective knowledge that we have poured into our TTC a Boy or Girl Swaying Plans for Natural Gender Selection.  We are the best possible source available today, backed by science, and the ONLY SOURCE THAT TRACKS THE OUTCOMES OF OUR MEMBERS!  We can back up our approach with real statistics.  You may purchase and download a plan today to get started on your quest for a girl or boy.  There are forums for support, whether you simply still long for a certain gender or for those that may have just found out that their dreams of pink have turned to blue or the other way around, there is a place for you to find comfort too.

Beyond Gender Disappointment support, the site is filled with information on swaying and High Tech options for fulfilling your Gender Dreams. Take a look around. Many pages are private but there are public forums available should you decide not to be a Dream Member. Either way, welcome and come on in!

Choose Your Baby’s Gender Naturally

Natural Gender Selection

Natural Gender Selection is the process  altering gender ratios by making necessary diet and lifestyle changes to choose the gender of your next child.  We refer to this process throughout this site as Gender Swaying- attempting to sway your odds of choosing your next baby’s gender naturally!

How Does it Work?

Our Plan and Diet has a scientific basis using the Trivers Willard Hypothesis.  This research showed that the gender ratios could be controlled by Parental condition at conception.  Trivers and Willard believed that animals and humans would give birth to more males when parents are in “good conditions” and more females when parents are in “poor conditions”.  Conditions means more than just diet. Lots of sites talk about timing and diet.  There is more to determining gender than what you eat and timing intercourse and that is why we have created our Gender Swaying Plans to address more than just timing and diet.  Our plans for conceiving a girl or boy are comprehensive and include the following areas-

  • Foods to Eat
  • Mom Suggested Supplements
  • Dad Suggested Supplements
  • Mom Suggested Drinks
  • Dad Suggested Drinks
  • Glucose Level Control
  • Exercise Advice
  • Weight Loss/Gain
  • Lifestyle Choices
  • Sperm Count
  • Controlling Cervical Mucus and Vaginal pH
  • Timing the Attempt(When to try and how many times you should try)
  • What to do After the Attempt

All of these things affect the gender of your next child and our plans cover all of these areas to give you the BEST chance of conceiving your Dream Gender!

Program Details

Our comprehensive Boy and Girl Gender Swaying Plans have been designed to alter your body chemistry prior to conception and also provide you with a complete list of changes you and your partner can make to help conceive your Dream Gender. The Diet needs to be followed for at least 4-6 weeks prior to the month you plan on conceiving although plans go as far out as 3 months prior to an attempt at conception. Each Plan includes a 7 day meal plan. Each daily meal plan has been specially formulated to match the requirements for the proper condition based on the gender you wish to conceive. The Plans include suggested supplements, foods and beverages for the duration of your sway and specific meals are detailed in the sample 7-day menu.   You may opt to add a 21-day menu plan which includes 21 days of Breakfasts, Lunches, Dinners and Snacks.   The Plan should be followed until conception is confirmed. Once conception is confirmed the Gender Diet can be discontinued.

Beyond what you eat, our Gender Selection Plans include a detailed schedule of when to time intercourse and how many attempts to make in order to have the best odds of conceiving your Dream Gender.  Other components critical to your sway including exercise, sperm count, cervical mucus and pH are also outlined in the Plan.

Let’s Get Started!

The Diet needs to be followed for at least 4 weeks prior to the month you plan on conceiving- so purchase early! You will download all purchases directly from the website, immediately after payment has been received, so you can get started right away.   As with any diet,  anyone taking medication or with any health issues we suggest you consult with your physician before beginning the program.

What are my odds of IVF/PGD for gender selection working?

by nuthinbutpink
March 9th, 2014

You would think as a fertile person electing to use IVF for family balancing that it would be a near 100% guarantee, right?  We like to say proven fertility trumps poor pretesting around here but there are 4 factors that all contribute to your success or failure with IVF-

1. Age

Age is the number one factor to consider when evaluating your odds of IVF working for you.  Many of us turn to IVF/PGD for family balancing in our 30’s and the later you decide to pursue this option, the more difficult it is.  The 2012 National Statistics for all IVF patients according to www.SART.org are-

Age

<35

35-37

38-40

41-42

>42

Percentage of cycles resulting in live births

40.6

31.3

22.2

11.7

3.9

You can see that as you move up in the age brackets, numbers decline rapidly.  Obviously, these numbers are mostly comprised of infertility patients and there are no statistics kept on PGD tested embryos so it is difficult to say with any accuracy what your odds may be when using IVF electively.

Age plays a big role in outcome from what we have seen over the years in our community forum.  The younger you are, the higher your odds of success.  Age is part of the equation but age can also be deceiving because we have also learned some people’s bodies are just not designed for IVF.

 

2. Pretesting

Pretesting is the assessment of your ovarian reserve- how many potential eggs can you make and what is the best guess at what their quality may be.  Pretesting is what we refer to a battery of tests that your doctor orders before you start the IVF process.  Tests include day 3 FSH level, AMH, and antral follicle count to name a few of the key indicators of success.

Fertile women can have very poor pretesting.  We have seen that time and time again in our Community Forum.  It is not atypical for a 33 year old woman with 3 kids to have poor pretesting.  When that happens, you chances of success are lower and a higher than normal amount of medication will be used to get a response from your ovaries.  IVF has nothing to do with our natural fertility.  All your body needs to do each month is give you one good egg.  Our bodies are designed to do this for us and is usually very good at it.  Gender Selection with IVF is a numbers game- you potentially lose half of your embryos due to gender so you need some numbers to work with.  If you are one of the potential poor responders, this can be very upsetting and discouraging but not impossible to overcome.

3. Clinic

Your choice of clinic plays a key role in your chances of success.  In the US, clinics report to the CDC and www.SART.org with their outcomes and choosing a clinic with a good success rate it paramount.  The best way we have found to do this level of comparison is to look at the following data points from SART-

  • 1. The Live birth rate for the <35 age group.  This age group has the highest chance of success because of their age so as a fertile woman, no matter what your age bracket it, look at this column when evaluating clinics.  The National Average is 40.6%. Ideally, your clinic should have a number at least equal if not higher than the National Average.
  • 2. Number of embryos transferred to arrive at that number- Ideally, you want to only transfer ONE embryo when you cycle.  As gender selection patients, we typically use 24-chromosome testing so there is less need to transfer more than one embryo at a time and we are not infertility patients.  Ideally, you want a clinic that averages under 2 embryos per transfer but if you see closer to 3 embryos being transferred to arrive at the live birth rate, that is not a good quality of that clinic.  The fewer embryos transferred to arrive at the live birth rate, the better.
  • 3. Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET) live birth rates according to SART-

Age

<35

35-37

38-40

41-42

>42

Percentage of cycles resulting in live births

42.4

39.8

33.9

26.4

17.8

Interestingly, the FET rates are higher than the fresh transfer rates.  Make sure your clinic uses vitrification as the freezing technique for best results and has a FET live birth rate equal or higher than the national averages.

There are other factors to consider when selecting a clinic such as the type of PGD testing they offer.  More information can be found in our community forum on this topic.

4. Donor Embryo rates

The National Average for a fresh transfer using donor eggs is 56.6%.  This number is perhaps the best representation of what one can hope for when using IVF as a tool for Gender Selection as a fertile person.  Donor eggs come from young, fertile women.  Egg quality is superb in this population and this number is a guide as to both how successful IVF can be and also how difficult IVF is.  As you can see, the success rate is just over 50%.  When using donor eggs, you are essentially guaranteed to have a transfer.  When you do get a transfer, the odds are better than 50/50 of taking home a baby.  This BEST describes IVF/PGD for Gender Selection.  Getting to transfer is the hard part.  Having enough embryos to make it through testing and end up with 1 or 2 of your desired gender on day 5, transfer day, is critical and sometimes proves difficult.  A No Transfer situation is possible with IVF/PGD for gender selection due to no embryos available of your desired gender.  It can happen. So, that fact alone lowers our odds of IVF working for us.  Sometimes your best embryos are the gender that is already represented in your family.  For that reason alone, IVF for gender selection is never a guarantee and sometimes depending on your age, pretesting and choice of clinic, far from it.
