Hi, I have 2 boys (3 and 18months) and wanting to go to the US to Dr Potter to get my girl!
Can anyone point me in the right direction to find other people’s stories of Dr Potter or statistics on how many cycles it takes. I think i only have the opportunity to do one cycle (financially, emotionally).
We conceived out boys quickly and naturally.
I’d love to talk to anyone gender selecting thru Dr Potter!
Thanks girls!!
Hi Kez27, I'm sorry I can't help with the info you are after but I just wanted to say Hi! I am in a similar situation to you. I have 2 boys (3.5 and 14 months) and we are planning on going to the US in the hope of having our girl. We are contemplating Dr Kolb or Dr Potter (I am still deciding). I am 35 and based in QLD, what about you? I think from what I've read it seems like some people try multiple times and some get lucky first go. Like you, we can probably only have one shot at this which is nerve wracking!
Hi Kez, yes me and my husband went to Dr Potter in July 17 and I am due now.
Are you a dream member? You can see everyone's cycles then.
Hello!! Yes so nerve wracking!! I’m 29 and in NSW. I really want a little girl but would for my sons to find out one day and feel unwanted. Which Dr are you leaning towards? I would love to go around Oct this year!Quote:

It’s really nobody’s business how any of our children are conceived! I’m leaning towards Dr Kolb as I’ve had a friend see him and she spoke very positively of him and had a successful experience. I’ve got a phone meeting with him later in the week! We are looking at going in September if that works out.Quote:

That’s so exciting!!! Please give us an update how the call with Dr Kolb goes!! We had the first call with Graeme last Monday and he seemed nice. Just need to find a local Dr/OB to do all the scripts etc. Once I’m happy we have a Dr locally then we’ll talk to Dr Kolb! I’m worried I’ll speak to Dr Kolb and get excited and then not find a local Dr/OBQuote:

That’s great!! Sounds really exciting!!!
I’m hoping we have our chat with Dr Kolb soon. What month do you want to go over? Where are you located? I’m in NSW. Think I’ll just go to my local dr and get the pretesting referrals (say we can’t conceive and need these tests??). For the IVF scripts Graeme suggested an OB in Westmead. What about you?
