Accuracy of aCGH for genderselection?
Dear Dr Potter,
I have read somewhere on the forum that even done on day 5, aCGH is not totally accurate for gender selection. You apparently have had another test to insure the gender.
Is it true? Why other clinics use aCGH to determine gender if it is only 97% accurate?
Thanks in advance for your answer.
PPAlready have a marvelous and I cycled mid November 2013 to conceive our HT
7 eggs retrieved, 6 mature, 6 fertilized, 5 HB sent for CGH test, 5 healthy HB!!! 3 xx !
We transferred the first one on January the 9th and I was pregnant, BUT I had to let go my little girl on March the 19th at 12 weeks because she had to many malformations (nothing to do with chromosomes)...
After two cancelled FET because of too thin lining, we found out that I have synechias because of abortion. Will have to undergo a surgery beginning of September (hysteroscopy and laparoscopy) to sort out my problems. Hope to have a natural FET end of 2014/ very beginning of 2015 and finally have my DD!!!
Dear G'd, please makes my remaining xx become my so dear girl
So remember: forget about the number of eggs. Only the quality matters at the end!!!
"You are the master of your own destiny", I am trying to stick on this though and hope I am right!

For technical reasons, aCGH alone is very very good for gender but not perfect. THere have been gender opposites with members of this forum in fact. It does not happen often but if gender is the entire reason for doing IVF it is worth using what I use, GenderSure. GenderSure adds additional steps to aCGH that makes it >99.99999 certain for gender while still looking at all 24 chromosomes. GenderSure is performed exclusively by IVIGen. IVIGen has labs in Los Angeles and Miami and services the entire US. IVIGen's parent company is IVI, the largest IVF practice in the world, based in Valencia, Spain. THe test will be launched for wide commercial availability next week during the American Society for Reproductive Medicine annual meeting in Boston. I have been using it exclusively until now but your doctor will have access to this starting next week.
