my personal opinion would be that nothing is out of gods reach, ivf pgd maybe immoral to a few people but that does not mean god is against it (not that i know he is for it either?!?) but at the end of the day although you are expressing a preference gender wise its not a guarantee that you get pregnant with that child (some get none to transfer, some don't cycle, some get bfn's, some miscarry, very occasionally there are opposites - there are plenty of ways for god to intervene if that baby is not 'a part of the plan') anyways and whose to say thats not the child you wouldn't have received if you'd tried naturally either (a lot of girls get their dg after failed ivf) - it may all be mean't to be anyway. At some point we were given the ability to carry this process out, maybe these babies are all part of the plan too in there own way.
Every medical invention could be seen as against gods plan by some, but maybe the knowledge is a gift instead. People are very quick to judge what they do not understand or experience, if this 'friend' cannot support you is she really someone you need in your life?
Charlee i think your dads response was imed at you not your baby, my family was the same with ds3, i think its just cause they were disappointed for me as they knew how much i wanted it and they all loved me - they have all loved and accepted my little man without question or hesitation, he is as special to them as the others are, i think people just don't know how to handle things sometimes.
