to be gobsmacked that there are people in the world who are making their own homemade sperm microsorting machines to try to determine the sex of their next child?

[fireandthefury]

Yeah I'll probably get flamed for linking to another site.

Anyway, I was idly googling sarah beeny to find out her kid's names as I'm nosry having just watched her restoration show and a link came up to this site.

Now, I was vaguely aware that some people followed diet or timing methods or whatever to try to determine the sex of their baby.

But WTAF is this all about? People are hand crafting their own centrifuges and incubators and shit. It's like honey i shrunk the kids!

You made me read that ....... oh dear god - read this one - www.in-gender.com/cs/forums/t/240512.aspx

Erm I bet you have a hobby too

It sounds like Wallace and Gromit with too much time on their hands.

The "fankoo" in that second link has upset me more

I can only say, dipping your tampon in lemon jjuice would be guaranteed abstinence

I've summarised for DH .... blah blah, egg white, blah blah, lemon juice, blah blah spin it........... and he just said "feck sakes are they making pancakes???"

Lemon tampon

Ouchy.

Fankoo for replying

Oh my god! It was only a matter of time I suppose...do those machines actually SORT sperm??

Wtf???

Are people really that bothered? I don't get it.

Wow - I'd like a homemade centrifuge. Not for sperm sorting, just for general experiments.

I know cece.

It was effort enough for me to put the shagging in to have my DC. Those pictures make me feel weary just looking at them.

OMG just why and what is it with the fucking tickers? 'josie has been loving mummys milk for 2years 4mths 5 day' [boak] NOTE there is nothing wrong in bfeeding a child that age, i did myself! but to have a fucking ticker about it?!!!

Centrifuge you say?

Would a salad spinner do?

not unless you keep it at certain temp lined with tin foil and add egg white to it .

Bloomin' nora; are they giving birth to babies - or mini Humpty Dumpty's?

Now I've seen everything . I never understand why people go to such great lengths to produce children of a certain sex. It's only the clothes that are a definate difference (eg some boys do ballet, some girls like playing with cars) and by the time they are about 2 or 3 they tend to have their own opinion on that too.

Dear lord there are some nutcases out there. Surely you should be happy with a healthy baby?.

Are they actually mixing sperm with egg white from chicken eggs? Ewww at the thought of where they'll be sticking it.

Crazy!

We need to get some of the ladies from that forum to come over to MN and explain.

Btw, I don't mean how to do what they are doing, but to explain why and how they have so much time to make and use a machine like that!

I actually can't bring myself to look. But it all sounds jolly good fun.

There is one woman with photos of her three lovley boys - thus implying she doesnt want girls.

Each to their own. And without provoking a wild storm of outrage, babies are a gift from God and you are lucky if you get one, it's not a "right" to have one - let alone choose the sex of it.

baby dancing.

Yuk

PMSL at "sperm sorting". Some people need to get out more.

Weird! I'd love to have a girl but wouldnt go shoving lemon soaked tampons up my vadge for it.
