No girl sperm??

Could this be the case? I have 7 boys. I fall pregnant very easy. Have used sway methods that have failed.

I have also had two miscarrages. Could these be female have you heard of women not been able to carry a certain gender?

I am turning 36 this year and was planning to use high tech next year before my age is against me. Or is it to late?

I am in Australia so i will have to travel. Can not afford to come to the US so I will go to tailand as that is the closest.

They do not use MS but wash the sperm. What is the difference?

They will put in up to 3 embryos how much does that increase the chances of fall pregnant?

What % do you come across where you have no girl embryos either?

Thanks for you time.

 Hi Jodi,

I am sorry to hear of your losses. I have four girls and have had two m/c one of which was a boy. I had the same concerns as you and to answer your question, yes it is possible that there is a genetic defect that causes loss of one particular gender in utero. However I have been assured that it is quite rare.

Sorry I cannot answer your other questions...

 Good luck ttc your long awaited princess

7 boys!!! OMG that scares me.

I just found out after extreme girl swaying i am pregnant again with a Boy!

I already have 4 boys and i am starting to believe like you my husband cant have any girl sperms, i did research it and found out some men have had sperm tests to find only 1% girl sperm out of 100 but it states it rare and i dont think i want 99 boys, lol.

I think my only chance now is high tech pgd but could only afford one cycle so praying it will work but also scared to death after paying all that money there would be no girls to transfer.

I have been looking into places that will do sex ratio of sperm, i dont know if you have ever heard of such a place that could do that, but it would be nice to know before spending money on high tech if there are any girls there at all.

Wishing you all the best.xxxx

 I have been pregnant with six boys (five still living.)  We did IVF/PGD.  We only had one normal female, but when we compared all embryos, normal and abnormal, the boy/girl split was nearly even.  I was surprised because I was almost certain that my husband had no X sperm. :o)

I have 5 boys all conceived very fast. When I did PGD I had 9 females and 7 males.

It is very rare to have anything less than around 49/50%--

thanks for all your imput girls gives me a bit of hope. May i should travel further and use Microsort.

Washing the sperm does not affect the X Y rates at all, it just "concentrates" the sperm., so it will not help you at all in getting your desired gender. Microsort is the only thing that can help with that. Also microsort has done studies, and has found almost every sample is almost 50-50% (you can look it up on their website.

I am sorry to say that sway methods do not work. 

I am not aware of anyone that has been unable to carry fetuses of a certain gender because of some underlying defect in the mother

At 36 it is best to get a move on

MicroSort would change the gender ratio of the sperm sorted so that 90% were female.  Washing, spinning or anything else they want to try will still yield 50:50 on  average.   Adding MS to IVF PGD for gender selection reduces the rate of 'no embryos to transfer' from 20% to 10%.  Washing does not.  

As part of the initial ground work for the MicroSort clincal trial, it was necessary to check the gender ratio of the sperm both before and after MicroSort.  When we looked a the sperm of men who had even >4 children of the same gender, we found that the ratio of X to Y sperm were still the same as in the general population, that is essentially 1:1.

WIth IVF/PGD/MS slightly less than 10% of patients will have not embryos that are the desired gender AND metabolically competent AND genetically normal.  With IVF/PGD this number is 20%.

Putting three embryos back would be your personal decision.  If all three attach, it could be a big problem for the babies.

 I only have girls and somethimes think the same about DH...And I LOVE your avatar pic!! looks just like my dream boy

Oh and we just can't afford to pay for PGD  Good luck to you!

Thank you Dr Potter for answering my questions.

We have decided to come the US in April we have our first phone consult on the 24 November.
