I know Microsort is not allowed in the US right now. Is there any concern that IVF/PGD for family balancing will also become disallowed? I will probably do GS with IVF/PGD in about 1 to 1.5 years. Thanks!

I can't imagine that it wouldn't be allowed. Microsort is still allowed for genetic reasons and who knows why it isn't allowed for family balancing. It could have been a number of things but so far we don't know why it isn't allowed. I don't think it has anything to do with gender selection as a whole though and you shouldn't worry that it will be illegal any time soon.

thanks so much michaela! I think it is just an irrational fear i have that it will become illegal. I just went through ivf process for our first and will need to do it for second child---I had a horrible pregnancy so can't imagine having more than two pregnancies. Therefore, we would love to do gs for the next one. Thanks so much!

If we are lucky enough to have a choice I would chose to transfer a boy and a girl but at this point I will take what we can get. This will be our last IVF cycle so I can't be a chooser but I would love to have b/g twins given the chance!

Yes I am on there too! Well I have been on there since 2008 but don't post as often anymore. The cycle threads get too big and hard to follow. I have been on the GS boards for just as long and love the smaller HT groups

Not at this time. I do not expect any regulatory challenges for PGD in the near future.
