I'm new to this, so don't even know what most of the acronyms mean, but here goes my story:
I have 3 bio sons and 1 traditionally adopted son, and desperately want a girl! We hadn't tried to conceive since 2010 (son #3 born in 2011), and had never had problems before that. But my health wasn't great at the time, so we decided to adopt. (Honestly, figured we'd get a girl, but our agency does things totally different than other traditional agencies as a wait list, so we didn't get to specify gender. We adopted son #4 and love him to pieces and wouldn't change a thing...but do still want that girl!) So we tried to conceive a girl last summer based on general internet wisdom. We did conceive, but won't ever know if our efforts were successful as I had a miscarriage at 8 weeks. We've ttc a couple times since then, but no luck.
So here's where we stand - I'm about to turn 40. I just want a baby girl, darn it! :giggle: So we've been looking in to Embryo Adoption with PGD so we know gender. But we're currently living in Germany, and it's looking like that's not really an option around these parts. I'm hearing rumor that **** in the Czech Republic will let you pick the embryo, but when I asked them they said no gender selection (maybe because I asked via email and they don't want a papertrail?!) Are there reputable places in Cyprus? Are there places in the Czech Republic that will let you choose an embryo to transfer based on gender, but you just have to know the right catch phrases or super secret handshake?! :) I have no idea. So I'm going to start combing threads, but if anyone can point me to the right ones, I would sure appreciate it. I'm completely lost in here!! :bigsmile:
Thanks friends!
