Doing PGD....Im from the UK

[Id_Love_Pink]

Hi everyone

Im new here from ig but sick of the site not working and getting the monkeys.

We have 3 beautiful son's, our last son we done a very good girl sway and were blessed with our 3rd son

We still so badly want a dd to complete our family so have decided that we don't want to sway again but try pgd

We have so much to research on it still and also need to try to choose which clinic is best for us......and of course save up to have it done in 2012. Where are you all heading to?

Any advice or experiences you've all had with clinics would be so greatly appreciated

Look forward to chatting with all of you

Welcome again. Most of the HT gals are in the Private/Member HT forum- HT gender selection in the USA- you have to be a member to see the posts though and post yourself. We have quite a large group here now but they are in the private forum.

We have cycled at various locations- since you have to travel, you can have your pick. A lot of gals go to HRC because Dr Potter is on here and you have many places to go see and make a vacation out of it! I live in the SE so I cycled at RBA in Atlanta. We have had a good number of successes there lately too! But, there are many others cycling at many other locations.

Dr Lin in California has had some success there too with this board. Good luck and I will be happy to help you with your HT journey!

Hi Id_Love_Pink and welcome. I am UK based also and like you I have 3 lovely little boys but would love a daughter. I wasn't prepared to risk a natural pregnancy again and have decided to pursue high-tech methods to hopefully get a DD. I'm still learning but happy to share anything I can with you. I am hoping to travel to HRC (Dr P) this summer for treatment. I am currently in the middle of my pre-testing which should be complete by the end of April and fingers crossed that it will be all systems go then. The only advice I can give is that if you decide to go HT don't get freaked out by all the information. I felt overwhelmed at the start - essentially not knowing where to begin as there is so much to take in. However, there are plenty of lovely people on here to ask questions of and share info with and gradually you find your way and begin to understand what's involved and how to organise things. Best of luck and I hope you get your heart's desire. Sela xx

I'm from the UK too and I'm currently 36 weeks pregnant with my dd after IVF/PGD with Dr Potter at HRC. I would definitely recommend saving up and doing the long flight to the US as the success rates are so much higher than at the European clinics we can cycle at. It is not too difficult to get your pre-testing and monitoring sorted in the UK and then have an IVF holiday. Good luck to you!

Hi Dreaming,

did you cycle the first time on Cyprus? I can't make my mind up where I want to cycle (im from europe, The Neterlands)..... USA is very expensive (but I know very good) and Cyprus or Farah is affordable a few times.... so it is one cycle with dr Potter or almost 3 times cyprus/farah.... Its so hard to decide!!!

Dreaming - CONGRATULATIONS! Wonderful news. Which was the firsy clinic you went to in europe? Did you take your children to Dr P in hrc with you?

lisvna - You seem to be in the same boat as me at the moment.....we can learn together. It's such a massive decision.
