	Georgine Muntz said: I took the Acu-Gen test at 12 weeks. It said I was having a girl. I had a 20 week ultrasound and it clearly showed that I am having a boy. I think the test is a hoax. I wouldn't be surprised if they are simply throwing away the blood samples when they get them. October 3, 2005 5:59 PM
	JCKC said: Per my BGM result, I am having a boy but 4 sonograms show the baby to be a girl. When I have tried to email questions to Acu-Gen, they will not respond. When I called to ask them questions about the test and its accuracy, I was told they do not give that kind of information to their customers. The fact that Acu-Gen refuses to answer many of our questions after getting our money says all there is to say in my opinion. October 10, 2005 4:59 PM
	Dwayne said: I am sorry, but I have not seen one article or testimony from any women that have had there child which contradicts the test. Before going off on this company with sonograms (which are only as accurate of the person doing them) The company states that they will process double your fee for a wrong test result. So why not wait until this fall when the children start to be born to determine if this is a sham or not. Just a thought. October 14, 2005 9:04
	AAI said: I too took the test and it said girl. Only to have my ultrasound at 20 weeks show a boy. I understand that time will tell once all these babies are born ~ including mine ~ I just feel like after spending $275.00 I am back to square one. When I called Acu-Gen with my concerns they said they stand behind their results and to contact them back with a birth certificate. What more can I do? So now I don't who to believe and am back to square one ~ wondering if it's a boy, or a girl! November 9, 2005 2:06 PM

About Maureen

In 1999, my two sons were 4 and 2 years old, and we were ready to have another baby. I hoped to have a daughter, and I turned to the Internet to search for ways of increasing the odds of conceiving a girl. I discovered the iVillage Gender Determination Board. On the board, I found information about at-home and high-tech sex selection methods, but more importantly, I discovered I wasn't alone. I was one among a legion of mothers who longed desperately for a daughter, keeping it a secret so others wouldn't think, wrongly, that we loved our sons less, and feeling guilty becuse we're not supposed to care if a baby's a boy or a girl, "as long as it's healthy". There were, of course, also mothers hoping just as much to add a son to their all-girl family.

After a lot of research and soul-searching, my husband I decided to try MicroSort. In the fall of 2000, I became pregnant on our first MicroSort attempt, by IUI. At 20 weeks of pregnancy, we discovered we were having twins, a boy and a girl! We were thrilled to have a daughter at last, and a new son to cherish too.

During my journey to conceive a daughter, I was so grateful for the support and information volunteered by others on the boards; mothers who didn't even know me, but were willing to help me, hope for me, and cry along with me, when there was no one I could turn to "in real life". I know that without being able to talk personally with women who had tried MicroSort, I would have never gone through with this daunting, complex procedure; and that we would have never had a daughter as part of our family.

Now that my journey's finished, this Web site is just my way of giving some of that help back, to you.
