Hi there
Anyone able to help with my problem please? I am pregnant with DD2 due in November with a 16 month age gap between her and DD1! I want to start straightaway for DS after and am researching my options. With DD1, took 6 months to fall pregnant (I was 35 and DH 40) and for DD2, when we both turned a year older, it took 4 months.
DH does not want to go down IVF/PGD route because of cost.
Is there anywhere people know of where we can send a sperm sample to see whether he has a 50/50 ratio or not as this would help make a decision over what steps to take now.
Also, he would do sperm sorting as it is cheaper but I've heard it has a much lower success rate than IVF/PGD. Maybe this is because of the quality of sperm afterwards and what's left? Or maybe because with IVF, they implant more than one embryo. My husband would not have 4 - I had trouble going for number 3.
Any ideas/help would be much appreciated. Thanks very much.
