Hello there!
We are a couple from Norway (Europe), that have just starting to think about going high tech for familiy balancing. We have two boys, and have allways whished for three. Now we really want to try for a girl. We came over PGD, and we thouht; WHY NOT?
But the big question is: Where can we do PGD closest to Norway? Since it is not legal in Norway.
Sorry for my english
Hope that is someone here that can tell us something about PGD. (Have read a little bit)

Hello Mollo! Welcome! Some others will pipe in but there are clinics in Thailand although most end up coming to the USA for PGD. There are lots of clinics in California and it is a very fun vacation spot for the whole family, so most people plan a vacation around their IVF cycle.
Unfortunately, most of us who have done high tech for family balancing conceived our previous children very easily- although that does not help when it comes to IVF. While there are some women who get pregnant within one cycle, it takes most 2-3 cycles. Our natural fertility just doesn't seem to help us out in the IVF world!!Proud Mom to my gorgeous
2008, and 2010. Lights of my life!!
Pretesting "normal". FSH 7.5
Cycle 1: HRC Feb 10 2012
Started off slow on 225 Gonal F, 1 Meno; increased to 300 Gonal F and over responded. 27 eggs received, 19 mature, 15 fert, only 8 to GSN, all terrible quality- only one normal XY. NT. Boo.
Cycle 2: HRC May 2012
Took DHEA (only 25-50 mg/day), royal jelly, bee propolis, CoQ10. Antagonist cycle with growth hormone. Started off with 300 Gonal-F and quickly moved down to 150 Gonal-F and rode it out. 43 eggs, 35 mature, 30 fert, 9 to Day 5 GSN, 1 normal XY and two normal XX. Froze all.
July 2012 - FET at HRC, transferred 1 XX expanding blast. ???

Thank you for answering. We have thouht about taking it as a vacation. BUT we cant afford two-three vacations. If it doesnt work the first time. It is very expensive to travel from Norway to the USA

Depending on how old you are and pretesting results, you have around a 50% chance of it working the first time. Of course, there are lots of variables to consider. The US is a main destination and Genesis may be more affordable.

Nothing hurts too bad. The emotional toll is the worst part by far. Mexico isn't really a great option.

Of course it depends on the tests, thank you!
