Nervous, anxious... Planning PGD in US this Summer
Hello all. Im after advice, support and stories in regards to PGD. Mum to three amazing daughters. We were due to go to Thailand SART after our second daughter but decided to try swaying. So convinced was I it would work. It didnt give us the son we were swaying for but did our beautiful third daughter.
With her now being two and me 36 we have decided that it is now or never. We contacted the lady we were dealing with a few years back regarding heading to SART in Thailand to be told that Thailand no longer carry out the procedure and have therefore decided Dr Potter in LA it is.
I am due to have a consultation on Friday but really feeling anxious. The main thing my age. I was 32/33 when we initially throught about doing it. In everyones opinion have I left it a little too late.
Secondly, we did get as far as having the scans/ semen samples done and even had the prescriptions in hand for the required drugs before we decided to sway. The Doctor who signed this off has now left and I am worried about approaching another Doctor. I am in Brisbane. Any advice on this would be great. Is anyone finding this to be an issue.
Also- excluding flights, accomdation to LA, can anyone give me a realistic price. Is the $15k-$18k Australian dollars they quote what it ends up being or are there hidden costs.
I know I will gather all this information on Friday but I cant wait till the. how long exactly do we need to be in the states. Asking this so I can gauge kids/ school etc.
Any stories- good or bad would be appreciated.
Thank you in advance
