    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 agree, ICSI should be done in all cases.

    Hi Dr. Potter.
    Rather than creating a new post I searched through some old ones and noticed this comment you made.

    Your GSA affiliate says you now offer erricson method which i assume is a method of sperm sorting. Has the technology changed where you have found it to be useful or is it still in your opinion 'bogus' but you're offering it to appeal to those who insist it's legitimate ?

    I understand it had been 7 years since that comment so perhaps technology has gone further ? I am interested in having a boy to balance by family and it seems on the website stories / blogs most women only have female viable embryos. Are they lucky (which indeed would make me unlucky) or is there a new method of sperm sorting you have found useful.

    Thankyou in advance

    I'm not Dr. Potter, but spinning has not worked, and reputable clinics focus on PGD techniques where you try to get as many embryos as possible and then expect that half of them will be your desired gender. Good luck!

    Hi atomic. That was my understanding but Dr. Potter is now offering this method with PGD hence why I'm asking whether there are some advances in the technology.

    The thought of spending all that money to be left with only XX and no XY gives me anxiety. Id happy spend more money at Potter than other clinics if he has a method that can give me a better chance.

    Anyway would like to know your thoughts on this Dr Potter. Thankyoy

    We offer a method similar to Ericsson method but without damaging the sperm, for patients that opt for that, but nothing has changed to make it a distinctly more effective procedure. We still don’t have a way to precisely and accurately sort these sperm for the gender.
