This is all so interesting. I am currently trying to understand it and I am still pursuing acceptance. I have a slightly different situation. When I conceived I had to use high technology including a procedure called "ICSI" whereby they inject the sperm into the egg and then put the embryo into the uterus. Anyway, studies have shown that this procedure does in fact carry with it a higher than average result of gender identification problems. For a long time I "blamed" myself for my son's issues because of these methods. It's only now occuring to me that I could possible "thank" these methods for giving me such an amazing gift. I have been so worried about the pain he might experience because of our society and lack of tolerance that I think I'm missing out on the good stuff. You are helping me to see that and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. OldMom
