Hi I'm new here so I apologise if I do something wrong.
We have just gone through PGD for a girl as we have 3 boys, it was successful and baby is due in a month. We were told at 16 weeks looked like a boy which we didn't believe due to PGD. The at 20 weeks no is a girl. We have had the past 3 months getting ready for the birth of our little girl filling our house with all that's pink only to be told 3 days ago its a boy. As you can imagine it feels like a double edged sword, it feels like a death has happened in the family but of course there is the blessing of a birth approaching. At the moment though I am still grieving .
As everyone had said you will love whatever sex you have been blessed with but it is natural to feel disappointed.
Has anyone else gone through this and how did you cope

Whoa. Where did you cycle and what day and what kind of testing did you use? Day 3 aCGH or FISH? I am so sorry. We have had this happen with both of those testing methods. I am so sorry.

I am so sorry this has happened. I too would be very curious as to where you cycled and what type of testing they did. This may help in explaining what may have gone wrong.
Unfortunately it has happened before but it is quite rare.
I am sorry you are grieving at this very special time. Very understandable after everything you went through.

I am sorry to hear this, When being so sure you are getting your girl it must feel like you lost her. Do you get a refund? I hope so

Oh no really? Where have you cycled? which testing method did you use?
I did PGD too for a girl but in the end we transfered both genders (2xx and 2xy) because of severe fragmented embryos and little chance of pregnancy. We ended up with a only one boy. So I do feel your pain about doing HT for a girl and up with a boy......
I do hope you find some peace in the end. I did, so if you want to PM me you are welcome......

OMG this gives me chills. I am so sorry for you. I also think that you have a slight chance that the last scan was wrong. I gave birth to my son in may. With 14 weeks they told me boy and the 20 weeks scan confirmed at. At week 38 a doctor at the clinic called my baby boy "she" and "her" during the scan. Baby was big and so he couldn't see the boy parts.

Oh no. I can't even imagine. It really must feel like a death almost because you have been preparing for pink for so long. Words fail me but I'm so sorry.
