swaying and sperm spinning

[atomic sagebrush]

Hi everyone,
RE's paperwork states sperm spinning is 75% effective for conceiving both genders. Anyway, trying to explore all my options. If $16,000 fell out of the sky, we won't have this problem. Haha. I've wanted a DD since I was a little girl. But, my sister in law is expecting the first girl for both sides of the family and it's killing me. DH and I were reading about embryo donation yesterday as well. We need to make a decision which way we want to go so we don't waste precious months

Well, there's lots of conflicting data out there but I have read quite a few studies that indicate that spinning may work for XY sperm because they use certain washing methods on the sperm as a part of the spinning procedure that sways blue, and also because IUI itself can sway blue.

Whereas the data I have seen indicate that the sperm spinning for a girl may not be actually doing anything but may be a result of the Clomid.

So I left out a bit of the equation there in the interest of time and preventing confusion since I knew you were interested in a girl. Personally, if those numbers are even accurate, I don't buy that it's the spinning for either gender, but that it's the chemistry of sperm washing and IUI for the boys and the Clomid for the girls. I just don't like to see people throw money at sperm spinning when the results of pg are so low. 75% does NOT mean that 75% of the ladies who have the procedure done get their desired gender, it's that (MAYBE because this has not been studied enough IMO) 75% of those who get pregnant get their DG.

Atomic why would the results of pregnancy through IUI be so low?
And by low do you have any numbers.

Because they take your husband's sperm and do all this stuff to it totally artificially and then shoot it up there with their fingers crossed that they are getting it in there at the right time. It is totally possible for them to do it too soon or too late, and with the spinning it can make the sperm "tired" and less able to be able to fertilize the egg.

It's common knowledge that IUI, esp. where sperm spinning is concerned, is lower odds of conception. I'm not here to try and prove my case or talk you into or out of anything, I'm just letting you know that is what happens.

It is the common procedure so I would suspect that they do.

Atomic so you think it's common practice to give clomid as part of the spinning and IUI?

One of my IUIs I didn't even ovulate. On Femara, but the doc thinks I triggered too soon. I triggered on CD 9 and got AF on CD 17.

The Anchor,
how many cycles did it take for your IUI to work?
