Hello all

I am a haemophilia carrier which means I have a one in four chance of my baby having the hereditary disease, haemophilia. However, girls cannot get the disease, only boys (with a boy, it's 50/50). I am fortunate enough to have an unaffected boy who is now 3, however do not want to take the chance on our second.

I am currently educating myself on IVF PGD and gender selection, which is legal in the UK under tight circumstances. I understand that our circumstance is legal, however not funded on the NHS as we already have a healthy child.

Anyone experience with IVF gender selection in the UK or abroad?

Look forward to speaking with anyone else going through the same dilemma x

If you have a medical reason for seeking PGD, I would not hesitate to reach out to your own OB! He/she should be able to help you. It will be legal for you to undergo this close to home.
