Hi, would love to meet more Aussies thinking of IVF for gender selection

Hi Leechez,

Fellow Aussie here.

I joined the site a few months ago and I also have 3DS (youngest is 16 months) and at the moment I havent convinced myself either way (HT or sway) but I do believe that I would regret not giving it everything I could. I have agonised over the cost thing too, but as silly and as simple as we make it sound it really is only money. Im starting to think Ill give SART a go (jan /feb 2013) and if no success after 1 cycle (unless only I went back for a FET I would consider going again) then we would consider swaying or just accept our family as is and move on, but 4 is absolute max!!. I really want to feel that we have finished our family by end of next year. Big decisions to be made!

Hi willtherebe4,
I am thinking exactly the same as you except I think my mind is made up, I think we will go HT, I was chatting to a friend and she said to me , if I tried everything I could and had a boy then you can accept that that is how it's meant to be, however I know that the most I could do is go overseas and have gender selection and if I don't then I may regret it. So my mind is pretty made up. I have already made email contact withDr Porter at HRC. Like you I would like our family of four to be complete by end of 2013 if not early 2014. I find that in my spare time (which there isn't much off) this is all I think about! Hence, the time I'm on here and that I was just up feeding, my youngest he is 5 months. We have had our 3 boys close in age, the other two are 3 and a half and 22 months. So lots of fun at our place. I think we would take all of them and make a holiday out of it, which I was getting excited about, but still considering it.

I too am the mum of the two most beautiful little boys (in Australia) but have a desire for a little girl that just won't go away!
My husband is also happy to do whatever makes me happy but only wants another if we can guarantee it would be a little girl. we are looking a GS IVF at SART in Thailand. However I would like to know what would be the advantages of going to America and if we do go to SART what are the chances of it actually working! some of the stories I have seen so far have been disheartening and I'm scared of putting my family through something that may end up very expensive and emotionally draining to allow me to achieve my dreams..however I think I'd always regret not trying. Any advice or SART stories would be great!
