Hi everyone, I have a thought/question and I want to collect some experiences from the mumsnet hive mind.

I gave birth to my ivf miracle baby last year and I have 3 embryos in the freezer from the same round. My partner and I were chatting this evening about when to have our next frozen embryo transfer when I started thinking about all the people I know that have 2 children from the same ivf/icsi cycle.. their children are the same sex, either 2 boys or 2 girls. Is this just a weird coincidence in my circle or does it ring true for anyone else is out there.
TIA. X

Total coincidence I personally recon.
Im an IVF baby (female), my IVF sibling is male. My parents also got pregnant with another one of each but sadly didn’t carry to term.

grew up with 3 IVF friends. All have IVF siblings of the opposite gender

I think it's coincidence too..
I have a baby boy from an ICSI fresh transfer and currently pregnant with a girl from a frozen embryo transfer from that same round (had another embryo transferred from that round but it was a BFN and we have no idea of the sex).

Thanks for the replies! I had a feeling it was completely coincidental but it also made me wonder :)

A friend has a boy and then girl/boy twins from the same cycle.
Other people I know with 2 IVF babies it varies.
