    Mom to

    and my IVF/PGD

    It's better to look back on life and say: "I can't believe I did that" than to look back and say "I wish I did that".

    I just found out I am pregnant on the first try with IVF/PGD! And I only told one friend and my sister. Both of them was like "what ever makes you happy", but they would not do it... they say! My friend have two daughters and REALLY wanted girls and my sister ont have kids yet.
    I feel weird about getting all the comments I know will come when people find out the sex of this one. Guess I will just smile...

    We have only told my parents, DH parentsand family definitely would not understand.

    I have told a close girlfriend and i know she has not told her DH.

    Since I've had a bfp it's weird I'm so excited I almost want to tell everyone... but I don't, I'm sure it wouldn't be wise. There are too many people who love to gos sip and be judgemental, they could never understand what this means to us, I'm sure they'd belittle it all and make out its as simple as shopping to us! They could never understand the deep profound longing and GD and depression that we've been through to get to this stage that we would try such extreme measures


    HRC cycle 1 Feb 2012
    ER 14 eggs, 9 fert and biopsy 24 GSN, 4 normals inc 2 's
    1 transferred & BFP
    But at 20 weeks my angel Violet passed away

    November 2012 FET #1 - ended in chemical, went down the immune issues path with Dr Gorgy

    April 2013 Cycle 2 - HRC
    ER 9 eggs, 8 fert, only 5 biopsied day5, 4 normals only 1 girl!
    Transferred 1
    Beta 10dpt 123, 14dpt 1171
    But at 19 weeks Primrose passed away

    Dec 2013 cycle 3 - HRC
    ER 8 eggs, 7 fert, 1 frozen
    Searching and praying for a Gestational Carrier (surrogate)
    to carry our DD (under Dr Potters advisement)

    We told everyone. And have had heaps of support. My view is the more that know the more "normal" it will become and then if wont be frowned uppond as much but you will always get your extremest.

I never want anyone thinking that I didn't feel blessed enough with my two boys... Because that isn't it at all... But so many people just do not understand. So, we have decided to tell no one, and oddly, it isn't that hard to keep it a secret so far.
    Exactly exactly exactly. I absolutely love and adore my two monkeys and it's not about NOT wanting boys- I just really want a girl as well. But I would never want my boys to wonder if I wasn't happy with two boys. Never. Can you imagine while you were growing up if you found out your younger sibling was conceived through insane amounts of money, energy, time, and emotional roller coasters?? Of course you would feel terrible about it- even if your parents tried to explain it to you, you would still always wonder. Nope- my boys deserve to never question my love for them!!
    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. ???

    We've told my family and a bunch of my close friends. Nothing but support from everyone. Do I wish so many people didn't know? A little. But I was going through a hard decision-making process and really needed to run ideas by my friends who I trust. Ah well, we're moving overseas in July so the info won't follow us. :-)
