I didn't use insurance to pay for any of it, as it wasn't covered. It was all out of pocket. I don't know where you live but at least in the US, most insurance companies need "proof" of infertility...

Hey there and welcome!

I did IVF for pink back in 2020 and got six healthy girl embryos! I didn't do anything too crazy to prep. I just took prenatal vitamins with folate (ones without any herbs...

Hi, I didn't cycle at HRC but I did find that what I paid at SIRM was similar to (if a little more than) what other ladies who used HRC reported. However, I wouldn't be surprised if prices have gone...

Yes, I'm still glad I did IVF. It's one of those things that I wanted to do for so long and can't believe I actually got to do it. I still think about how after baby #2, DH wanted to do IVF for #3...

I'm sorry you didn't get the gender you were hoping for. Having two little boys is pretty special though. :)

I am the same age as you and did IVF/PGD this time last year. We got lucky and have...

It took four years mainly because life kept getting in the way and there were things I wanted to do before we started that journey. I breastfeed for over a year so that was one thing and then I...

Hi there. I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing gender disappointment. I've been there twice and it's rough.

As far as when you can do IVF, like Atomic said, wait at least 6 months after birth....

Hey Atomic if there's anything at all I can do to help, please let me know! I really hope everything is okay!

Welcome and good luck!

OMG that's fantastic!! I ended up with a gender split of 9 girls, 4 boys (with 6 of those XX healthy). The shock didn't really wear off for me until recently but even still it doesn't totally feel...

Yay! That's great you got more embryos! :happy: The wait is the worst. I highly recommend finding some kind of activity you enjoy to distract yourself.
FX for some :DD:!

9 embryos is great! That's nine possible chances at a healthy girl. :) I totally understand the anxiety of this whole process. I just got my genetic report last week for my embryos and I was crazy...

Hi and welcome! I'm sorry the cyst has delayed this process for you...as if the IVF process doesn't already feel long enough! I'm doing IVF too for a girl after three boys and am in the stimming...

My BIL has two kids, both of which were an "oops" and both are girls. Personally I think it has something to do with being more relaxed and not in that "controlling" mindset we sometimes get into...

Hi! It has been rather quiet on the dream member HT boards (probably due to fewer people going HT right now) but there are a few of us posting there, myself included. I would join just because it's...

I'm glad everyone is okay!

Your AMH looks good and your AFC looks normal too (maybe even on the high side?). I'm not too certain on what's normal for AFC but based on the research I've done, it sounds really good. Best of luck!

Congratulations!!! She is darling!

Hi and welcome! I wouldn't mind what other people say. People will always have their opinions and will give it, wanted or not. My MIL made a comment recently how my DH and I don't "need" a fourth...

I did not take Ubiquinol and this is totally anecdotal, but I took DHA (which is supposed to be great for brain development) both while pregnant with DS1 and while breastfeeding him. Once he was a...

Girl!

Congratulations!

Congratulations!

Congrats!

Oh my, that is so sad. :( I had no idea he was ill. May he rest in peace.
