Do a google....lots available There are lots available online...to try.....ya never know... |
I have done some research for my friend and I have found this: PGD FAQ Why would I want to combine MicroSort with PGD? Since PGD is already 100% effective for gender selection, and MicroSort sperm sorting is less effective, at first it doesn't seem to make much sense to use both together. MicroSort can increase your chance of having a successful PGD cycle by increasing the number of embryos of the desired gender to choose from. IVF is not a single procedure, but a process with many steps. At the outset, some number of embryos are fertilized, but at each step, usually some perish and do not survive to the next step. The effect is sometimes called embryo attrition. Here's an example:[LIST][*]20 eggs are retrieved from the mother.[*]18 eggs fertilize and become embryos.[*]15 embryos survive 3 days of incubation.[*]14 embryos appear normal, and undergo embryo biopsy.[*]13 embryos survive embryo biopsy.[*]7 embryos are chromosomally normal.[*]6 are still growing after 2 additional days.[*]3 embryos (one half) are female, the desired sex.[*]2 are implanted, and 1 is frozen for a future cycle.[/LIST]In this cycle, 18 promising embryos attrited to 3 usable embryos. Fortunately, that was just enough to implant 2 embryos, and even freeze 1 for a future cycle. However, in many cases there are fewer embryos to start with, and more perish along the way. Sometimes, at the end of a cycle there are no embryos left of the desired gender, and no embryo transfer can take place. However, if the embryos in this example had been fertilized with MicroSorted sperm, about 90% of the available embryos would have been female, instead of just half. Rather than 3 of 6 female embryos, 5 or even all 6 embryos would be likely to be female. After implanting 2 or 3 embryos, 3 or 4 could be frozen, providing much better odds of a successful future cycle if the current cycle doesn't result in pregnancy. In cases where only a very few embryos remain at the end of the cycle, using MicroSort with PGD can mean the difference between having a few embryos of the desired gender and a successful embryo transfer, or no embryo transfer at all. If this works for her, I would love love love to have it done myself. The website that I got it from is this: http://www.in-gender.com/Gender-Sele...microsort.aspx Can you guys please tell me your oppinion about it? As far as I know it's a clinic in the US that does it.And I have found this method on soooooooooooooooooooo many other websites and they all say the same thing about it. What do ya think? |
yes you can my son and daughter in law have three boys. You can spin sperm. It costs about 700 each time, spins out the sex you dont want then they insert the sperm of the sex you want. She did it 3 times. Didnt take. She was beginning to think something was wrong, then whoops, the natural way, but miscarried. Three months after that she was pregnant again, the natural way, and guess what??????????? I have four grandsons. ha ha ha Oh well I have girl yorkies....................... |
Montel's show airing today is going to cover this topic. If you miss, maybe you'll be able to find it on his website. |
They are discussing MicroSort which you've mentioned above. |
Adoption. :D I'm sure there are ways out there to determine the gender of your baby but I myself really don't know of any. Wishing your friend lots of luck! :p |
The simple answer is yes, you can choose the gender. There are many different methods and some are close to 100% accurate. Some clinics/institutes even offer guarantees that they will continue cycles of treatment until it's successful. The only drawbacks I can think of to note are (1) cost - but it can be covered, at least partially, by insurance & (2) multiples are more likely with some of the procedures. Here's a link with 7 pages of good info. I wish your friend best of luck!! I knew a woman that wanted a girl so badly that she had 7 sons before her body gave out on her (had to have a hysterectomy). :eek: That said, I wouldn't leave it up to chance. :rolleyes: |
