This is my first post in the HT forum.
My Gender dreaming name is hit me baby one more time bc going into this - I very much felt that this was my last baby. One more time.
I found out that my sway for a daughter failed and since then I've been faced with the ultimate gender disappointment: NEVER having a daughter.
I have 4 sons already - 2 are grown (15&20) and 2 are very young, and number 5 is closer behind them all.
I'm clinging to the option of high tech as my saving grace - to my sanity and my dreams.
I'm a 39 year old Canadian, and only 11 weeks pregnant so HT is a long way off which is both a blessing and a curse. I'm no spring chicken, time is NOT on my side, but I need to figure out how to finance this dream, and if I were physically able to go right now, the money would not be there.
I am thinking if we can we will budget for 2 cycles and if they both fail we will turn to perhaps a donor embryo with pgd. I'm just learning about this option, and would love to learn more about it, although my husband really doesn't favour this idea - as "if we have a daughter I want to see you in her" (pass me another box of tissues please) but any daughter is better than none so it's what is like to fall back on.
Anyways if anyone has any stories to share about a) being Canadian during this process, b) being early 40's and going through it and c) choosing donor embryos id be grateful for any info you can share.
I'll go back to folding boy clothes now, and count the blessings I've been granted.
