IVF michigan + MicroSort
I haven't been on here in a long time but thought I'd share my story if it may help someone else. After a long haul of swaying with my second and third boy, my husband and I decided to do IVF. We went to HRC with Dr Potter (I live in Michigan). Long story short after 40 some eggs retrieved only ended up with one normal boy embryo after PGD. Our second IVF attempt we decided to try local and went to IVF Michigan and saw Dr Hammoud. After 30 some eggs retrieved we ended up with 2 normal boy embryo's. Although I was exhausted by the process and didn't think we'd try again, I was intrigued by MicroSort. I went to dr Hammoud and asked him if he'd be willing to except sorted sperm to use in my next cycle. He excitingly agreed and I was his first patient to try MicroSort. My husband flew out to Mexico and spent one night there and was able to give three samples before leaving. His sperm was sorted at a 94% girl sort and shipped frozen to IVF Michigan. On the following cycle in September 2016 20+ eggs were retrieved and the MicroSorted sperm was used. After PDG we ended up with one normal xy and one normal xx. Even after that 94% sort we still ended up with one boy! We did a FET on the next cycle and it worked! I'm currently 24 weeks pregnant with my little girl and all looks good. I'm still in shock and so blown away that we are having a girl in June. It's been a long trying road but it all seems worth it now. Good luck to everyone trying for their dream gender!

IVF + PGD with dr Hammoud was I think around 15k and the MicroSort was around 3k.

Thank you for posting this. I hope that this info is helpful in demonstrating what so many of us have been saying - Microsort really isn't any kind of guarantee.
I have a friend who conceived with 92% X sperm sort and IUI back when this was an option - she had a boy.
I am so happy for you that you are getting your girl! Huge congrats!

Speechless please just click my username and you can message me that way. I am happy to help but sometimes you will honestly hear from me faster here in the forums; since messages are one person at a time instead of visible to help everyone it usually is more efficient for me to do as many forum questions as I can daily and then save my messages for when I have extra time (which is sadly not that often.)
