    I hope ICSI is used. All that spinning, I would not want to rely on tired sperm getting the job done.

    They look for the healthiest moving/looking sperm. Types of movement like you read on others sites to "determine" males from females is totally false.

    Actually, there's a post where I asked Carole about it.

    I see what you're saying but sperm can only take so much and still be able to do the job!

    I've read that ICSI skews pretty significantly XX, so I would be afraid to use it even with a spun sample.

    4devochki I would not risk not doing ICSI, there have only been a handful here who have used IVF to fertilise and results have not always been great. My first cycle I had a zero fertilisation of 9 eggs and someone recently had 18 eggs and zero fert. We both used rescue ICSI, I had 5 fertilise all abnormal and the other one got 1 normal out of the 18, which then resulted in a BFN.

    I have used ICSI since and I have had pretty much 50:50 gender split, I have had more normal girls though.
    13 years 11 years 6 years & our HT miracle 2 years

    6 IVF Cycles(3 SART & 3 Genea), 4 FET cycles, 4 transfers, 3 Chemicals.

    Sep 11 2012: Genea, FET, 1 day 5, CGH HB transferred.
    4dp5dt POAS BFP, 9dp5dt 67, 11 dp5dt 183, 17dp5dt 3832

    Finally our beautiful baby girl was born 20th May, 2013

    ICSI is recommended with PGD anyway. If sperm cannot move because they are tired, you get zero fert. Gender is 50/50 no matter how you fertilize. And more boys are born via IVF so I don't think that holds true.

    There have been several of us with a more male, or all male dominant spilt, that I can think of. To the point where I thought it might be skewing the results in a male favor. I haven't personally seen that happen.
    Me: 31 DH: 29 and our family: 2005 2011 2013 2016

    DOR at 0.15 AMH, AFC 8, FSH 8.1. Three fresh cycles and two donor embryo FET's we finally got our DD four years later. She completes us in a way I had only dreamed of.

I remain skeptical though.

    My other comments on the trial are:
    1. It is very small
    2. The outcome that they are measuring (FISH results) is not the actual outcome that we care about (i.e. the gender ratio of live born normal babies or even embryos). It seems odd that would not have carried it one step further and shown that using sperm treated in this manner also changes the gender ratio of the resulting embryos.
    3. The shots that the authors take at MicroSort safety are completely groundless and obviously motivated by their desire to discredit their competitor there on Cyprus.
    4. If it does work, it does not work for the reasons that they speculate on in the article. Not buying the ‘difference in mass’ story that they are trying to sell.
    Bumping again... What did Charlotte and Barry think??
