Plus me and everyone else I know who didn't select based on sex. It's random!

Same!

Google is your friend.


A study conducted by the Colorado Center of Reproductive Medicine has found that in-vitro fertilization produces more boys than girls.

After the embryo's are fertilized in the lab, they are grown to the blastocyst stage (about 120 cells.) Then they can pull a few cells from what will become the placenta and test for chromosomal abnormalities, which also identifies the sex of the baby. This is called PGS or PGD testing and costs about an extra $5,000 dollars.

In my experience most families who are doing IVF dont have enough embryos or money or time to redo IVF just to get their sex preference. However if you are lucky enough to have normal embryos of both sexes you might select which one you implant first.

I know people w boys and girls from ivf.

+1!

OP here. Yes, know a ton who did IVF and had a girl first and then naturally had a boy.

It’s not true that IVF causes more girls and natural conception causes more boys. The premise of your question is faulty. Three people does not equal a trend.

I did IVF and have boy-girl twins.

Two I know had girls

Can you really choose gender in IVF?

The only person I know who did IVF had boys.

Girls make for stronger fetuses.

I know three people who are expecting and they are expecting girls. They all did IVF. They didn’t do gender selection. How come there are so many girl babies with ivf and more boy babies for couples who conceive naturally?
