Boys vs. Girls with IVF

in Pregnant after IF
So, I have had some people tell me that boys are more common with IVF, and then others said girls are more common with IVF. Now, these people have never gone through IF, so not really sure where they are getting this information from. But, have any of you ever heard of this, or seen any substantial evidence one way or the other?

    Ive done IVF twice now and have one girl and one boy, so in my case, it looks like the odds are 50% for either one.  Beyond that, I couldn't really say.

    I don't know much about real scientific data (I haven't looked for any) but even when you look at the tri check-ins, it's pretty much split 50/50 between pink and blue.

    What I have heard while looking into doing IFV (we conceived right before IVF) is that girls are more common with non ICSI IVF as the sperm goes through thru more and the girl sperm can withstand more than the boy sperm. With ICSI boys are more common because the choose the fastest sperm which is usually boy sperm.

    If you go look up studies, some studies say there is no statistical difference, some say you get more of one than the other depending on whether it is a 3-day transfer vs 5 day transfer, or fresh vs frozen, etc.  Either way, I don't think the ratio gets off more than 60/40.    
    TTC #1 7/10, Me (31)- Dx DOR (AMH 0.6); DH (30)- normal
    BFP on Cycle #8. Natural M/C at ~8 weeks
    IUI #1 and #2 (8/12, 9/12)- 50 mg Clomid + Ovidrel = BFNs
    IVF #1 (EPP) 13R/10M/9F, 5DT 1-4AA blast, beta #1-148, beta #2-322, 5 frosties!

    Yeah, that's kind of what I thought. I don't think there's any hardcore evidence of one over the other. I think it was kind of crazy this one particular person was like, "oh, it's definitely a girl since you did IVF. UH..umm. ok! Whatever!

    Conceived identical twin boys on our own (lost at 19w), then I took clomid, had a boy, did IVF with ICSI and are having another boy. I think in our case my husbands boy sperm are better. So it isn't just the procedure or IVF that is the factor. 50/50 shot and no way to predict!
    TTC#1: 14 months on our own (did HSG, b/w, SA);
    BFP on Cycle 14--TWINS! Identical twin boys stillborn at 19wks(1/9/10)
    3 break cycles; took clomid 50mg, BFP #2 Beta #1 35, Beta #2 338!!! Owen was born 2/11/11! 
    TTC#2: 4 cycles on clomid: BFNs
    BFP #3: Cycle #5 100mg clomid; beta #1 21; beta #2 6=CP 
    Cycle #6 break cycle TTC no meds=BFN
    Cycle #7: 150 clomid+ovidril+IUI=BFN (switched to RE)
    Cycle #8: follistem+ovidril+TI=BFN
    Cycle #9 Forced break due to cyst
    Cycle #10 follistem+ovidril+TI=BFN
    Cycle #11 follistem+ovidril+TI=BFN
    Cycle#12 Forced break due to cyst, went on BCP; did repeat HSG, Saline U/S
    Cycle #13 IVF: Follistim/Menapur ER 11-30 11 eggs, 5 mature, 4 fertilized and 3dt on 12-3; BFN
    Cycle #14: IVF#2 lupron/follistim/menopur ER 1-22, 19 eggs, 14 fertilized, 5dt on 1-27, BFP!! beta 1: 63, beta 2: 119; EDD 10-15-13; 1 frozen embie
    Miracle Surprise BFP, EDD 10-1-15; saw HB great Betas, 11weeks lost baby MC at home
    Moved forward with FET transfered solo frostie on 6-4-15, beta 1: 315, beta 2: 738, u/s showed one baby on track EDD 2-21-16

    IVF with ICSI and I have boy/girl twins. My embryologist just happened to pick a boy sperm and a girl sperm. I don't think there was any science behind it other than just choosing the best looking sperm.
