What is pgd?

Awe I am sorry you are going through thus. I feel you. It can be really frustraing when others get pregnant right away with desired genders with or without swaying.
Can I ask why you were turned away from pgd?

PGD isnt allowed in australia unless there are medical reasons to do so. Our oldest DS has autism which is on the "allowed" list, however we were still refused by the ethics committee that govern it in our state as we only had 1 autistic child not 2. Ridiculous! We could have potentially applied in other states but that would have added to the costs & difficulties substantially & we just dont have time on our side to keep getting refused.

Oh KC what a difficult journey it sounds like you've been on. I'm really sorry the laws here seem to make things harder for your family, not easier. Hugs.

Some cycles are better than others. Sometimes I get super bummed and kind of take a bit of a break. I'll put away my thermometer and opks and just wing it. After a few months, I always end up coming back to it. I think it's because a lot of people in mine and dh's families are having babies right now. It makes me want another one that much more. I can tell you that I've definitely done a lot of crying and yelling about still waiting for a baby but I still think of holding a baby in my arms and that brings me right back to ttc. So don't feel bad if you have to take a break from ttc or eat some chocolate if that's what it takes to get your head back in the game. Remember that we're here for you if/when you need support and we won't be upset if you need to take a break from the boards. (I've done that a few times too!)

just ate way too much chocolate but I figure in the 2ww it isnt going to matter that much. Im just having a really bad day. Struggling big time with my 3yr olds behaviour & my eldest has been sick. Sometimes it just feels like I am on a never ending treadmill & I cant see the end in sight. I am sure I will feel better tomorrow. Thankyou ladies for being able to vent. It really means a lot.

Hugs kc!! I understand the difficulties. I have been swaying for years now technically. I swayed one way or another for my last 2DSs. It is really tough. Hang in there and praying you get your BFP real soon!

Robin - just an FYI, since you did a trigger shot, OPKs won't work for you. They pick up the HCG from the trigger and will be positive. You might want to test out the trigger if you have some cheap tests that way you will know if the trigger is gone and you get your real BFP!!!

awwww kc this is a whirlwind of emotions,, im actually finding swaying more emotional than when i done ht, but even with ht we are still not guaranteed our desired gender, i was devastated when i couldn't find out the gender until transfer day, after all that money and hormones bouncing, but in a way looking at it now it was for the best as i probably wouldn't have this crazy bouncing boy sat on my lap i never thought that i would have 6 sons by 37 but i know until my dd comes along i will never feel complete keep positive and the great thing about this site is that we all have similar feelings on this journey so we are never alone...

well i was so thrilled about finally getting a solid smiley last night on my advanced clearblue but then an hour later i just done the normal clearblue digital that goes from negative to solid without the flashing and that was still negative,,,how can i have one solid positive and one negative?? i had a good read though and i see that the advance one tells you 4 days before where the normal digital is 2,,so hopefully im correct and i should have a solid smiley on the normal digital tomorrow,,aww confusing especially when to bd so i bd last night and i will again when i have a solid on the other opk to cover me,, my husband said he feels like a bloody rabbit with all this sex and releasing lol, is anyone thinking of doing the harmony test once we get our bfp? they are so expensive but it would be nice to know so early x
