Sometimes the best thing you can do is not think, not wonder, not imagine, not obsess. Just breathe, and have faith that everything will work out for the best.
^^^That is exactly what I did and everything has FINALLY worked out for the best. I couldn't be more happier in my life than I am right now with these 2 blessings that were brought into my life.

I guess I'd like to say at a certain point, if trying to find a clinic that does GSN is too stressful for you, you're better off finding a reputable clinic that's close to you. Lots of women have flown from around the world with kids and husbands to see Dr. Potter so it is possible, but if it doesn't work for you and your family- don't do it. You sound very stressed about this and the stress won't help you in your cycle. So maybe finding the least stressful option is best for you.
I do really want to stress though that going into the cycle thinking it MUST work in that one cycle will only set you up for heart ache. Sure, there are some one hit wonders on here but more often than not, the first cycle doesn't go as planned because your body responds differently to the meds or whatever. So worrying about what to freeze is premature at this point. Certainly, things could go great and you'll be a OHW but please know that even at your age, you have to prepare yourself for having NOTHING to transfer. Just want you to be prepared is all...Proud Mom to my gorgeous 2008, and 2010. Lights of my life!!
Pretesting "normal". FSH 7.5
Cycle 1: HRC Feb 10 2012
Started off slow on 225 Gonal F, 1 Meno; increased to 300 Gonal F and over responded. 27 eggs received, 19 mature, 15 fert, only 8 to GSN, all terrible quality- only one normal XY. NT. Boo.
Cycle 2: HRC May 2012
Took DHEA (only 25-50 mg/day), royal jelly, bee propolis, CoQ10. Antagonist cycle with growth hormone. Started off with 300 Gonal-F and quickly moved down to 150 Gonal-F and rode it out. 43 eggs, 35 mature, 30 fert, 9 to Day 5 GSN, 1 normal XY and two normal XX. Froze all.
July 2012 - FET at HRC, transferred 1 XX expanding blast. ???

You are 100% correct. I know, I do want to have it work & since it is out of pocket there is no way I can get my hubby to pay for 2 rounds at NYU. I guess, if it didn't work I can always go to Dr.Potter office & as you said it exactly " I can make it work". I wish Dr. Potter prices were the same here in New York. I find it crazy that NY prices are so much higher than California. Let me just ask you guys another question, & thank you so much for all your support. NYU wants to do Acgh on Day 5, & FET. Do you think that doing a Fresh on day 6, is a wise decision or that I may lose some good embryo's & it is too risky? If this does not work & you are right it may not, then I will have no choice, but to walk away. I do have a healthy little boy at home.

These are great questions. The weakness of Natera day 3 is that due to mosaicism, some embryos that are not normal will be normal with day 5 biopsy. Because Natera is detecting abnormalities that aCGH does not, the advantage of day 5 aCGH is mitigated. Ultimately, I think that Natera day 3 and aCGH on day 5 are similar and we in fact use both. I also think that ultimately day 5 Natera will prove to be the gold standard when it become available because it will offer the advantages of both Natera and day 5.
The Natera technology is extremely accurate on day 3 with not one gender opposite. aCGH has trouble with the small chromosomes one of which is the Y chromosome. Other centers have invested heavily in technology that works only on day 5 and do not offer competing technologies. We offer Natera as well as day 5 aCGH. I am committed to Natera's technology but ultimately am more committed to doing whatever is going to give my patients the very best probability for pregnancy. Right now that is Natera day 3 in most cases at our center.
Neither technique will give more females than the other.
We freeze the extra embryos on day 5.Last edited by Dr. Potter; September 25th, 2012 at 01:36 AM.

Since NY has come up in this topic does anyone know what type of PGD and transfer (fresh, frozen) RMANY does? I'm trying to get a consult scheduled with them but haven't found that out yet. I'd really prefer a fresh, single embryo transfer if possible. I am 27 now but will probably be 28 by the time of the cycle and I'm not sure whether to test for gender only or more than that at my age?
