Babygirlquest: are you able to tell me where you are at with your pgd/ivf? We are planning a natural gender sway attempt but my anxiety is off the chart, I am not sleeping, crying multiple times a day and feeling physically sick to my stomach with stress over it not turning out as suspected and I am not even pregnant yet nor have we even ttc yet. Just thinking maybe another way might take a little of the stress off?

.

I'm so glad I'm not alone. I'm 9 weeks pregnant with my fourth and scared out of my mind, how am I going to give the other 3 attention. What was I thinking!? I wanted a dd. My ds are amazing and have such an amazing bond, what if this last baby changes it all? I'm praying it changes for the better. I've never felt these feelings before. I thought I would be soo excited, maybe it's hormones. It's not helping hearing everyone say " you guys need to get fixed, wow 4 your crazy" ect. No one has said anything positive

The mere thought of going through that process again had me so anxious (and I'm not saying swaying doesn't work, it just didn't work for me so it's hard to have faith in it again). I wasn't very regimented in my sways but a strict sway would have brought out my obsessive nature plus I have a bad relationship with weight/diet and didn't want to get into bad habits again.

I'm hoping to do egg collection at end of this week with a frozen transfer planned for a couple of months after. High tech is expensive but it's a guarantee at the end of the day. For me that is worth the money.

Hi Babygirl
im interested to know how you came across this clinic as your choice? Im researching this as an option for us now, although my DH is not aware of this as yet.. BUT we cannot do it here, in the UK it is not legal, so im looking at where we can go. I have absolutely no idea on the process and how long it takes and what happens so im only just starting my research...

Ah,Thanks for the info. im busy doing my research as we speak!There is absolutely NO WAY my DH will try again after this if it ends up 3rd boy. And im 39..

Wow squiggle let me know how you get on! What sort of price is it? We almost certainly couldn't afford it... But it does sound very appealing.

Just to be a giant buttinski, squggle but Cyprus has very poor results and I would NEVER recommend it for anyone let alone a 39 year old. YOu may as well take a pile of money and set it on fire as to try to cycle at Cyprus at 39. :/
