In the previous article, I mentioned that pink jelly did not work. As I thought, the topic of gender selection birth itself is not easy to ask about (even the obstetrician who is taking care of our pregnancy and delivery felt that the topic of childbirth itself was taboo), so my husband and I searched the Internet together to find out what the next step would be.

The first thing that came up was the Percoll method of artificial insemination. The Percoll method uses the difference in weight between the X and Y chromosomes, centrifuges the sperm and uses only the X chromosome for insemination. In this article, I will describe my actual experience with the Percoll method several times.

Specifically, this article includes the following:
●The process of choosing the clinic we used
●The process and results of artificial insemination
●Things to consider when choosing a clinic based on our experience with the Percoll method and artificial insemination

We hope that those who are considering the Percoll method of artificial insemination will take a look at this article.
