okay i am currently pregnant with DD3. sway did not work even tho *i* thought it was hard core. i feel like IF my dh agress to #4 at all, id want to do PGD/genderselection. DH is not really on board with artificial babymaking. but thats my problem.
im about 1-2 yrs away from this if i decide to do this, but i figured i dont want to hard core sway again and just end up having anouther girl (sounds horrible i know). ive been reading some posts on here and i just would like some of the nitty gritty details. i have NO idea what im doing here or where to start.
sorry if i am repeating questions
1) i know there is pretesting involved. what do they test for?
2)what kind of medication do you take? are there side effects (mood swings, other medical symptoms)?
3) are there lots of invasive procedures? and what are they?
4) what is DH 's role (just shoot in a cup and thats it?) any meds for him?
5) what are the risks ?
6) does the pretesting tell you if you are likely to get BFNs or abnormal embryos?
7) what would you say is the percentage of actually getting the desired gender thru PGD?
8) how long does one "cycle" take? how long prior to that do you take medications?
9) do they freeze the embryos/eggs/sperm or transfer them fresh? why WOULD you freeze anything?
10) do ppl (including DH) still go on the genderswaying diet while doing pgd?
ill be moving to northern california in a couple weeks...east bay area. does anyone know of any clinics or have recommendations out there? i know dr potter is in newport beach but that is a way for us (close to LA).
how do you know who to choose and trust?
whats the average cost for one cycle?
anything fall under insurance?
sorry and thanks!!
