My husband and i are trying to have a baby and we really want a girl. is there anything we can do to increase our chances for having a girl?

Unfortunately, no.: The sex of your baby is completely random - 50/50 chance of having a girl. Good luck!

Gender Selection: The answer is yes, provided you are willing to have high tech treatment. Naturally the chances are 50%. A research method, microsort, is not available now. But, some ivf centers will create embryos and then perform genetic testing of embryo (pgd) for chromosomes including sex. We then transfer the genetically normal female embryos and if pregnant, it will be a girl. See http://bit.Ly/zc2oav.

Yes: The only reliable way of getting a girl is to do ivf and test the embryo for sex and only transfer a 46xx embryo.

Sperm sorting or PGD: There are two options: 1. Sperm sorting. As you know, baby gender is determined by sperm. Using sperm sorting you may choose x chromosome sperm, which will result in a girl. The success rate is about 70-75%. 2. Pgd. You may choose ivf with pgd. The accuracy is 99% for the gender you desire. Dr. Frank at life ivf center.
