Tracking through a Fertility Clinic - How does it work?

[Mum3blue]

Thank you - the whole family balancing topic is so controversial. The first person I spoke to at the Sydney clinic didn't know anything about it. I am waiting for someone else to call me back. Would a OB know about this ... I am wondering if I call the OB for advice as well?

Interestingly I spoke to the Sydney clinic this afternoon and they had no idea what I was talking about ... she did talk about the clinic in Bangkok (HT), however was not aware of the drug free tracking that helped to influence the outcome for desired gender :-(. I'm wondering if I have the right clinic. I might try the Perth clinic next week and see what they say.

Mum3blue, sorry just saw this.

I'm currently doing a drug free tracking cycle through a fertility clinic.

I found out about this after I asked a friend how she had her little girl after 3 boys.

To do the tracking cycle I had to get a referral from my GP to the fertility clinic. Then my husband and I had to meet with a fertility specialist to get the ball rolling and then undergo a full blood test and ultrasound.

My friend was required to see a counsellor before commencing, though I didn't have to. They asked her stuff like will you love the baby if it's a boy, how would you feel if you had a girl and she was gay - Seriously!

This is my third cycle in 4 months. My first cycle I didn't fall pregnant. The next I did, but miscarried at 4.5 weeks. I'm currently in my 2ww.

I have around 5-6 blood tests a cycle and an internal scan just before ovulation to see how many follicles are ready to pop.

This has been such an awakening for me as I have never known my cycle too well as I have a lot of mid cycle bleeding.

The fertility centre's method seems to support the Shettles method of bd a couple of days before ovulation.

Happy to answer your questions if you're interested in this.
