    Gender with ICSI

    Does ISCI tend to have more boys or more girls??? Or is it still a 50/50 chance?

    Not that it's particularly a big deal. We would like a girl at some stage & wondered if we are more likely to have one or the other with ICSI.

    I've been told ICSI gives a greater chance of having a girl.

    Simply because they have to catch an individual sperm to be able to inject it into the egg, the scientists tend to target the slower moving ones (naturally), which just happens to be the girl sperm.

    This was information from a friend who had been through ICSI, not from my FS - but it makes sense to me when I think about it.
