3pink1blue thx you so much for your info. .. And congrats on your blue bundle of joy.
I will sign up for fertility friend.com today. I had no idea that it was such scsmall time frame as 12-18 hours.
Still trying to navigate around this site but you are all fantastic. I'm getting very excited thx you all
Sonia2003. Thx you so much for your welcome and advice. Very interested to hear your PGD story. Would you mind sharing it- by private message if you would prefer. Dh still keen to go down this route. I would love to hear your journey, advice, opinions on it. Did you go to Thailand or us. I'm presuming it wasn't successful hence you starting to sway again. It would seem to me that although obviously no guarantees, with meticulous planning swaying has the same success rates as PGD- around 40-50pc. Just don't know what to do.
Sonia - You are so welcome! I didn't watch my calcium at all but didn't eat much just out of swaying habit from another site. And yes what I did eat was full fat.
Blueplease - You are so welcome too! Ovulation varies from woman to woman I happen to quick fire lol I was surprised I O'd so soon after but my 20 wk u/s put conception the day after we dtd.
Hi, I don't mind sharing my story at all. It I can help anyone learn from my experience, I am happy to help! I cycled in the US and one thing I learned from PGD is that, yes gender is 99.9% guaranteed, but its the getting pregnant part that is the 30-50 percent. And even if your RE quotes you 80% chance of pregnancy, that means nothing, or if they say 10% chance, people still get pregnant. So one major thing I learned is that the percentages for a pregnancy from IVF definitely vary, and it was a year and 3 cycles later with no pregnancy so we are back to square 1 and back to our original plan of swaying.Quote:

Maybe you can read up on the HT forum as well, there is a LOT of info there, and if you have any questions, don't hesitate to msg me :)

1) What foods/drinks did you have everyday or every week without fail?
2) What things did you elimiate or cut out from your diet?
3) About how much weight did you gain before attempt?

Hi Sonia,
I am still TTC and I am a veggie so no meat on my list.
1) Oats with whole milk and peanut butter (week mornings), Eggs - about 12 per week, Green Tea, coconut water, nuts & seeds, beans & lentils, tomatos and about 1/2 avocado everyday, Swapped lettuce for spinach. Cheese everyday different types (I love cheese), Pure organic yogurt (nothing added, just milk and culture) with fruit.
2)I cut out the sugar as much as possible. I also make everything from scratch, so no jars of sauces. And I buy organic where possible. However I do still have the occassional frozen pizza
3) I gained 5lb so far. I do think that the exercise is helping me not gain too much. I have been on the diet since June and am eating way more than I every did before
Thxs so much for being so upfront. I'm sorry you were unsuccessful. Yes that's exactly how I see it. Regardless of how easy some people find it to conceive naturally, PGD/ ivf is so completely different. But of course if you are successful in getting pregnant then gender is virtually guaranteed. I'm waiting for SART to get back to mr. They say 43% success rate. I want to know if it's 43% first cycle or over a number of cycles. What is the HT forum?? Thxs and all the luck in the world for yourvsway xQuote:

Will make up for it by having egg, cheese, tomato and avocado wrap for dinner, at least that is quick to make
