English couple looking into PGD

[oldermum39]

Hope this is the right place to post this thread.
I am looking for advice on PGD
I am 39, my partner 46, we have 3 children each from previous partners. 5 of the children are boys (my partners 3 are all boys) he is desperate for a girl. I also would like a girl, I always wanted more children.
Obviously PGD is illegal in the UK but have been looking abroad.
My concern is A) my age. B) I have had 2 miscarriages in the last 2 years with this partner. C) we choose the right clinic

I know it would cost a lot of money, we would only have 1 chance at doing this.

Does anyone have any advice at all? clinics? success stories?
Thanks

Would you consider an egg donor? At 39, your chances with your own eggs are not going to be stellar (esp if you can only do one round) but if you used a donor with your husband's sperm your odds of success would be much higher. The baby would still grow in your womb just like any PGD baby.

HI, no we would not consider that, we would want the child to be both of ours or not at all.

I urge you to change your diet to something like the Zone or Perfect Health Diet or South Beach Diet that is lower in refined carbs with more protein and healthy fat. It will help your egg quality.

Good luck, I'm sure lots of other people will chime in with tips for you!

Hey there I'm in a similar boat I have 3 boys and would love a girl! Have you had any luck finding information on where is best to try?

Don't know if you've navigated around this site and found the post JeanT cycle 1 clinic C. As a fellow brit going to Prague is easier than US, more affordable and it seems reasonably successful x

thanks for the replies.
This family balancing is a minefield. I keep finding conflicting reviews.
Have read lots of good things about Genesis, but then only for women in their 20's.

Thanks for the link btw x

I am 38 years old with 3 boys. I had PGD in Greece and in particular in Crete Fertility Centre in Heraklion, Crete. Every went very well. I am very satisfied from the centre and their treatment. I was in contact with them all the time during my preparation. Very friendly and accommodating/ I stayed in heraklion for only 6 days and they helped me with everything. Even with finding my hotel. Much cheaper than other centres and they really paid attention on my history. When I first contacted them, they asked a lot of questions: previous tests, womb status, I whether I had any miscarriages etc. I am really satisfied with this centre. I met many couples form other countries there and I am still in touch with them. They are all very happy with the centre.

Hi Wendy, I'm pregnant with a boy after a huge sway for girl and on top of that, I was pregnant with a lovely baby girl last year but we lost her at 7 months gestation
So right now, I'm 19 weeks pregnant but I'm not really happy with this pregnancy because I really long for a girl
I never thought I would do it, but I'm really considering HT for our next child, because I don't think I could live without having a daughter.
I'm not a dream member but I never saw anything here on doing PGD in Greece. Is it allowed there? And how did you know about them? Can you tell me a price and the chances? Thanks a lot!
