Ramzi's Method? Anyone?

This is Ramzi's Method... (Quick detail on what it is at the bottom if you don't feel like reading)

Application to Patient Care
The application to patient care is in the knowledge gained by physicians, genetic counsellors and researchers that can be applied from the sonographers/sonoliogists ability to detect fetal gender as early as possible especially in families with genetic disorders that can be found in male or female fetuses. It will enhance the sonographer’s ability to correlate the finding with other genetic soft markers such as renal pyelectasis.
This study may help parents to decide and choose the type of medical management available in case of inherited genetic problem such as in X-linked genetic disorder.
This study might not be for all patients but definitely for those who want to know and prepare their life and finances and for those who have a genetic problem, which can inflect one gender than the other.
Abstract
The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between placental /chorionic villi laterality and fetal genders early in pregnancy using 2-D ultrasonography and color flow Doppler.
Material and Method
This is a multi-center prospective cohort study of 5376 pregnant women that underwent ultrasonography from 1997 to 2007. Trans-vaginal sonograms were performed in 22% of the patients at 6 weeks gestation, and Trans-abdominal sonograms were used at 18-20 weeks gestation, at this time the fetal gender were confirmed in 98-99%. The fetal sex was confirmed 100% after delivery. The study also addressed the bicornuate uteri with single pregnancy in relation to placenta / chorionic villi location. The result was tabulated according to gender and placenta / chorionic villi location. Bicornuate uteri with single fetus in different horns were studied and tabulated

Result
Dramatic differences were detected in chorionic villi / placental location according to gender. 97.2% of the male fetuses had a chorionic villi/placenta location on the right side of the uterus whereas, 2.4% had a chorionic villi/placenta location to the left of the uterus. On the other hand 97.5% of female fetuses had a chorionic villi/placenta location to the left of the uterus whereas, 2.7% had their chorionic villi/placenta location to the right side of the uterus.127 cases were found to involve bicornuate uteri with single foetuses, most male fetuses were located in the right horn of the uterus and showed right placental laterality (70%). Most female fetuses 59% on the other hand, were located in the left horn and showed left laterality (59%).Moreover, most of the males located in the left horn exhibited right laterality (89%). Also most females located in right horn exhibited left laterality (976.4%). In addition this research indicated that there was a possible link between renal pyelectasis and placental location, and it might be used as a genetic soft marker.

Conclusion
Ramzi’s method is using placenta /chorionic villi location as a marker for fetal gender detection at 6 weeks gestation was found to be highly reliable. This method correctly predicts the fetus gender in 97.2% of males and 97.5% of females early in the first trimester. And it might be helpful to use as a genetic soft marker in relation with fetal pyelectasis.


So basically if your baby faces right its a boy/ left its a girl..and remember since US is mirrored its going to be the opposite way then the picture..never heard of it before thought it was interesting

i only read your quick description of it but was curious and had to ask so like if the baby is facing right in the US its really facing left? if thats true then that whole theory is off. lol

:O that would be so cool if it's true...if I remember right both of my boys faced the left in their US so that would actually mean that they faced the right....

which would make our wonder weasel a girl...because she's facing the right in her US so that would make it really the left...

good food for thought  

Hmm...Interesting... haha I just thought it was something fun to maybe question and see what every ones feed back was..  

Quoting P a i g e:“ Hmm...Interesting... haha I just thought it was something fun to maybe question and see what every ones feed back was..  ”

lol well it wasnt true for me (my son faced to the left) but maybe others it was. its a cool theory
though.

not ALL ultrasounds are mirrored. just abdominal. the transvaginal, which is what type most women get in early pregnancy, its just as it seems, which is why the ramzi method works best by seeing the earliest ultrasound.

Anyone wanna guess my friends? This was at 9 weeks transvaginally (not mirrored).

I think my friend is having a girl.
