Hi Everyone,
New here, but not new to IVF.. We are doing IVF and PGS for a little girl. We are both young (31) and have great pre testing so we thought this would be fairly easy... well weren't we naive.
Cycle 1: 21 eggs retrieved, 7 sent to testing, and ALL 7 were boys, 2 normal
Cycle 2: 26 retrieved, 4 sent to testing, 1 normal girl - transferred her and got a BFN :(
We then took a long break and switched clinics because we could not afford our clinic anymore and found CNY, who are amazing and so affordable
Cyle 3: 11 retrieved, 4 sent to testing, 3 healthy boys
Cycle 4: 18 retrieved, 6 sent to testing, ALL 6 embryos were boys, 4 healthy boys
My doctor said that he can't believe my luck. I am really happy that it seems I have more normal and healthy embryos compared to my last clinic, but I am soooo tired of this, it really seems my husband only makes male sperm. what are the chances that we got 9 heallthy boy embryos and no girls.... My husband wants to do Microsort in Mexico and then ship sperm if the next rounds don't work out. My clinic is giving us the 4th cycle with them for free. I am not ready to try with Microsort yet bc I have heard that it damages the sperm. But does anyone know if that matters a lot when we do ISCI, they would only pick the healthy sperm anyways right? And is there anything my husband can take to maybe sway girl with his sperm? I ordered licorice root but that's it. He's not really keen on doing a diet at all, so that isn't an option. He's currently on conceptionRX a vitamin for sperm health, bc we wanted to maximise getting healthy embryos. I am not ready to give up yet but can someone please advice if there is anything we can do other than hope and pray.
