I know this was an old study, but folks had been asking about Khatamee so I thought I'd post it.

Honestly, I have no idea. He is a very nice man. He claims 85% success rate but it was not clear to me personally whether that stat was based on his study (done 10 years ago, which involved only a few women wanting girls. Those women also all took clomid and had a trigger shot, both associated with female pregnancies, and both are not part of his protocol now). He claimed that he was just as successful in practice, but i did not get a sense that someone was tallying outcomes to ensure that he was indeed 85% successful. I also read that IUI's tend to lead to more male pregnancies. I dont know. I think its probably more successful than Ericsson, but i just dont know for sure. I was too scared to try it again wthout knowing for sure if it worked at all. I read about one opposite on the site that used him for a girl and another opposite for another women who did a similar type spin in texas.

bows&ribbons:
I actually did the procedure with him in septmeber but did not get prego. He practices in NYC on park avenue.

In your opinion, in regards to this doctor, do you think the odds are low for a girl ?

Thanks Hadley, very interesting read. It is 11 years old though, B&R, you said something more about this guy, does he do things differently these days? Where did you find the information?

PS for those patients wanting girls, there were only 12 of them in the study. they all took Clomid and had a trigger shot -- neither are part of his protocol now.

I tried this in Sept and did not get prego. Opted to try naturally in Dec and unfortunately just miscarried. I dont think they change the PH of the mixture.

That is awesome.

Maybe I missed it.. did they use EW, then use 0.5mL of the top EW.. or just let the sample sit and use the top EW?

A Controlled Study for Gender Selection Using Swim-Up Separation

Gynecologic and Obstetric Investigation, Vol. 48, No. 1, 1999

Objective: To evaluate the success for gender selection using a sample of semen separated by a modified swim-up technique.

Design: We retrospectively compared the gender outcome of two treatments (A and B) for either a male or female offspring with those who conceived spontaneously.

Setting: Private practice of one author (M.A.K.).

Patients, Participants: The treatment groups consisted of 52 total pregnancies for couples who conceived by the separation technique. Of these 52 participants, 15 desired a female offspring and were placed into treatment A and 37 desired a male offspring and were placed into treatment B. The control groups consisted of 162 women who were presented with initial consultation for gender selection and conceived spontaneously. Control group A consisted of 80 women who initially chose a female offspring, and control group B consisted of 82 participants who initially chose a male.

Interventions: In treatment group A, one timed intrauterine insemination (IUI) was carried out with the bottom 0.5 ml of the separated semen on cycle days 12-14, when the follicle was 18-22 mm. Patients in this group were also administered clomiphene citrate and human chorionic gonadotropin. In treatment group B, one timed IUI was done with the top 0.5 ml of the separated semen, when the follicle was 18-22 mm.

Main Outcome Measure: The gender outcome of the pregnancies of two treatment and control groups was evaluated based on the known desired gender.

Results: The success rate for conceiving a female child after intervention (treatment group A) was 86.7% effective (p = 0.002) as compared to the control group A. Couples seeking a male child (treatment group B) were 89.2% effective (p = 0.0002) as compared to the control group B. Conclusions: This study reveals that the modified swim-up method with additional monitoring results in statistically significant gender preselection.
