God, so much money! Then to add flights and accommodation on top of that too....and the egg may not even implant properly or you miscarry or something. Hope that's also not US dollars :/

Yes that's US dollars so about $20,700 Aus at the moment, not including your drugs or dr appts back here. Then plus flights, accommodation, car hire, spending money etc.Quote:

Hi louil, I'll be 36 end of this year, planning on going over bit before then. I think u will get a good idea of your chances through pretesting. Yes, it's not cheap, a lot to consider indeed!Quote:

Hi ladies, looks like we are all of similar age. I will be turning 36 in August. I will be breastfeeding my youngest for a few more months then hope to go for pretesting. It is a lot of money and age isn't on my side either but I will forever regret it if I didn't try.
Violet Winter, I've just weaned and waiting for everything to go back to normal, then will start pretesting, looking to go over Oct/Nov. That will mean just under a two year gap between the youngest 2, which makes me a bit nervous, but then again it might not work first go, so the gap could be bigger..Quote:

A little under 2 year age gap isn't too bad and from my experience my eldest two are a great help.
I breastfed my others for 10-11 months and plan to do the same for my youngest. He's nearly 9months. Trying to introduce a bottle feed once a day but he's not getting it. :(
Maybe we should open a new forum for us Aussie Mums planning to travel to the US in 2017/2018
Great idea, let's start a new forum! I think having some other ladies to talk to on this journey would be so good.Quote:

So I guess we will have to risk leaving those and try our luck in America.
I'd be in on a new forum too!! I breastfed my first for 9 months and this one for 8.. He was refusing the bottle too, I've started working again and need him to take it when I'm not there and was trying to do mornings and nights but it was too hard, he was getting too confused. I've stopped completely and now he takes 4x250ml a day very happily. It's been over 2 weeks since I last feed and I'm still getting milk!! Think it's going to take a while for things to go back to normal this time!Quote:

We are looking to go to the US early next year also, we are Australian, but will be living in England then. Did someone start a new group?

Hi Aussie ladies, I'm currently looking into PGD to try for a girl after two lovely naturally conceived boys. I'm in Sydney and just wondered what others are doing at the moment with the recent disappointing NHMRC decision? Are people still cycling at SART or is that pretty much out now? I don't think we can afford the US unfortunately and my husband would never agree to that level of travel and expense. We need to get onto it though, not getting any younger.
We are actually British and considering a move back there so Cyprus or Czech Republic possibly also an option. Thanks for any thoughts!
Sorry all, didn't realise I'd posted publicly so please feel free to message me or let me know if I can message you. Thanks so much!
Hi Girlthing. Yes, I dont think there will be an resolution on GS here anytime soon unfortunately! Even though it's not as popular I do believe people are still cycling at SART - maybe someone will chime in. I am in the same boat as you, 2 wonderful little boys, only want one more, so have decided to bite the bullet and go to HRC in the US. Im also not getting any younger so want to give this the best shot we can. We are also looking forward to making it a family holiday. I've completed pretesting, which was relatively easy and I've had great help here from IVF Australia. Im not sure about Cyprus or Czech - I dont think Czech Republic openly offer GS anymore, which makes it a bit tricky. If you post outside of this thread as it's mainly Aussies someone might be able to advise you better!!! Good luck with whatever you decide!!!Quote:
