I know there is no way to really "predict" gender (all those assenine old wives tales, etc). and I will be 100% ecstatic with whatever gender our twins are.
However I did read an article, which of course i can't seem to find again, that said women who have IVF and get pregnant with twins are more like to have boy/girl twins than those who had spontaneous twins or (in my case) ovulation assistance but no procedures. Anyone heard this also? I'm wondering if it's something that was just a statement and not fact.
Re: Gender question
Dx: MFI- 3% morph
IUIs: Gonal-F + Ovidrel + b2b IUI= BFNs
IVF with ICSI= BFP! EDD 11/25/11
3/18- Beta #1 452! 3/20- Beta #2 1,026!! 3/27- First u/s- TWINS!
Our twin boys arrived at 36w5d due to IUGR and a growth discordance
Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
Beta#1 (12dp3dt)= 353, Beta#2 (15dp3dt)= 1466, Beta#3 (22dp3dt)= 14,139, First u/s: TWINS!!
After 10 weeks of bedrest, our two little ladies joined us at 28w6d
I have no idea! I haven't heard anything one way or the other. For my own experience.... we did IVF (both a fresh cycle and an FET resulting in twins) and both have been successful.
My fresh, 5 day transfer gave us a son. I also had a day 5 transfer for my FET and we are expecting b/g twins.
That's so funny because out of the 5 embies that made it to Day 5 (2 that we transferred fresh and 3 that were frozen) 4 were boys and 1 was a girl.

This is true based on the rules of probability. Each baby has 50/50 shot of being a certain sex. 50%*50% gives you 25% for b/b or g/g.

Yup!! Statistically, you have a 50% chance of having a boy or girl with a singleton so it would make sense that with twins 50% of them are b/g. and 1/4 being g/g and the other 1/4 being b/b.
This is what I've read in a few places (books and online).
We did IVF 5dt and are expecting two fraternal girls.
PAIF and SAIF welcome. IVF questions welcome, too.
Spontaneous B/G here. I know some Clomid B/G and some IVF B/G twins. Also know of spontaneous B/B and G/G. And that's just IRL twins that I know, off the top of my head.

I think in the end you just have go with the theory that every embryo has 50% chance of being a boy and 50% chance of being a girl.
I did IVF, one implanted early and one implanted late. Does that mean anything, who knows?
I had no m/s - is one a boy?
I have horrible skin - is on or both a girl?
B has a higher heart rate than A - is that one a girl?
It's all a crapshoot if you ask me.
