Dr.P.... Questions about sperm spinning
My husband and I are thinking of exploring this... What is involved? We are from Canada. How much time does this take? Is it like ivf where you have to go in each morning? Or is it a fairly quick process? Please explain how it works. We are ttc a boy.
Thank you!

Hi Believinginblue,
What a great screen name by the way. Spinning is something that I woudl only recommend in conjunction with IVF/PGD because it does not work well if at all. It involves using a centrifuge and a gradient column to attempt to seperate the X sperm from the Y sperm. It is like plucking an eye lash with a pipe wrench! We will do it for those that want it with their IVF but we do not charge for it for this reason. I hope that this helps.

Thank you! so is PGD the only method of gender selection you advise? How could I do that coming from out of the US? would I have to stay in California for a long time? I have 3 small girls at home. My husband just told me last night to inquire about it and get the ball rolling.What are the wait times like? We also have a home in Miami. Do you know of someone there or is it better to come to your clinic? I love California anyway!

I hope it's OK to post this question here atomic. (I didn't think it really needed a new thread.) For swaying girl with the one-attempt method, do you think there is additional benefit in using a...
