IVF/PGD for Baby Girl - pre-testing in Sept
Hi I am SOOO nervous and excited to be starting the pgd process. i have a 10 month old son and 2 step daughters, dh does not want to have more kids after this, so that is why we have decided to go the pgd route. I just came off a failed erriccson cycle and it was an emotional roller coaster which made me turn to pgd. I figure if I am going to go crazy with all this I want to at least be guaranteed a daughter in the end and not an opposite. I am hoping to learn from those who have gone through this process and would love to hear from any cycle buddies too! I will do my pre-testing on Friday.....do most people have to be on bcp for a month before they can do the actual ivf cycle? I am 31 (32 in November) and dh is 33 so we are fairly young still. Is there anything we can do on our end to further improve are chances of success? It is around 19k to do this so I am praying to get this done in one cycle!!! I had to take clomid to get prego with my son so not sure if that will reduce my chances... Scared to have twins but would rather that than have no baby at all so I think we will put back 2 embies if we get them. I talk to my doctor more on Friday so I will update on my progress then. Hoping to get some advice from experienced pgd-ers and anyone who wants to help cheer me along in this adventure would be greatly appreciated!!!!
