I know that when you're looking to have a baby at a fertility clinic, they give you a donor list with information about the donor. In that information, do they give what sex the child will most likely be if you use that donor? Like what sex the baby is from who have you used that donor?

I know that there is a 50/50 chance of it being a boy or a girl. But I mean as an average. Like if a couple has 2 girls and got pregnant again, the likelyhood is that they would have a girl again. I know that doesn't mean that they would always have a girl. I'm looking if the clinic would give the likelyhood chance of the sex.
It's for a research project I'm doing on fertilization.

No, what ever its always a 50/50 chance. There is no fool proof method of sorting x sperm from y sperm. If its that important to have a child of a particular sex then I would question if someone really wanted to parent.

the donor has nothing to do with it. with every couple there is ALWAYS a 50% chance for either sex. i can explain it more:
females have 2 "X" chromosomes. Males have one "X" and one "Y" chromosome. Males can either give and x or y to the child and females have to give an x chromosome (because they have 2). since with the females genes for x on both her alleles, the male is the "deciding vote" Since he has 2 different alleles, it can be either x or y. X making it female and y making it male. there is no way to tell what sex the child will be from the donors info b/c there is a 50% chance of either sex.

You need to brush up on your biology. The deciding sex chromosome is based on from the guy. If he passes on his x then its a girl. If he passes on his y then its a boy. It is a 50/50 chance either way.
Averages don't matter. There is always 50/50 even if they have already had 10 kids of the same sex.

without an ultrasound, the only different thank you to appreciate in the past the newborn is born is amniocentesis. it is a technique the place they positioned a needle with the aid of your abdomen into the sac, draw out some fluid, then examine it for cells from the baby, and study those cells for any defects and gender. This technique isn't many times finished till there's a volatile being pregnant. the main elementary reason is whilst the mummy is older, over 40 or so.

there is no way for someone to predict what gender a baby will be from a father. Its always a 50/50 chance.

if man have sex with woman and woman get pregnant then there are 50 % chances of having male or female baby.
sperm donation is the same thing. in sex sperm are injected with penis and in donation it is injected in vagina with other instruments. you cant tell which sex of the baby will be. it is 50% in this case too.

What on earth makes you think they could possibly know that? They have no way of knowing that!

If they could that would be wonderful but unfortunately that can not.
