    Did your successful IUI produce boy or girl?

    Hi
    I don't believe symptoms or ring tests or the shape of my belly can tell a boy or girl.
    I do believe "old fashion" science lol

    Now male sperm is faster but dies off faster
    Female sperm is slower but lasts longer

    I have two girls.

    My first was natural and not timed or anything.
    My second was ovulation induction
    And we had timed intercourse so I figured the male sperm died off before the egg came down?

    This time I had IUI so I was wondering if there was more girls than boys made with IUI? Or if the boy sperm had more of a chance because it was inserted closer to the egg?

    Of course I may be kidding myself there is any pattern and I will have to just wait and see lol

    I havent had IUI but I would think that the faster/slower stronger/weaker part would be negated by the fact that the sperm is put in much closer proximity to the egg and with optimal timing? So I would think that there wouldnt be any huge obvious bias? I would think that the father and his family history would play more of a role? Some families have a genetic bias to produce healthier boy or girl sperm and it can usually be seen by looking at the children that father has already produced, what his father and grandfather produced and also any full brothers

    That's the thing Caz
    Hubby is one of five kids, four boys one girl, his father has no sisters
    His sister and I so far have only had girls!!

    I was hoping the sperm being so close to egg made things more random than I think ovulation induction does.
