DH had a DD prior to our relationship. Together we have had 4 DS and 1 double ectopic pregnancy (yes, we would have had twins). We are starting an IVF with PGD cycle, what are our odds that we will have female embryos to use? Is there a chance that he no longer has XX to offer? Our baseline tests & blookwork all looked great. Any insight on this would be great!

Thank You,
Star

Thank You,
StarThe odds depend on your age, your ovarian reserve testing results, the stimulation protocol you use and proficiency of the IVF laboratory that you use. Provide details. And, no your husband is not out of female sperm. He makes half Y and half X like every other human male!
