    Curious: Assisted Conception Babies - what was the gender and gestation?

    Hi,

    I've just been curious to know of those who have had to do assisted conception like IUI, IVF or ICSI - what was the gestation period when bubs was born and what was the gender.

    I've notice of people I know who've had there bubs via these ways, they mostly seem to be early and tend to be more likely...boys.

    Myself - we did IUI. We had a boy, and I was 37weeks and 5 days (from last AF), or 35weeks and 3days (from conception).

    Thanks in advance for your responses.

    IVF/ICSI... boy... born at 36 weeks exactly (dated from embryo transfer).

    I suspect our early arrival had more to do with my anemia and single umbilical artery rather than being conceived via IVF.

    Our IVF bub is a boy, born at 41+3 weeks - same gestation to the day as his sister who was naturally conceived.

    I did IVF, had a boy and born at 39+6w. I've had all my kids either on or very close to their due dates, so he wasn't any different.

    I was induced at 42 weeks (so don't know how long it would have been naturally) and boy
    there is a bias to male babies with IVF generally
