Success story here with just IVF/PGD

We had 6 embroys when it was all said and done. FIVE were girls, I couldnt believe it. 1 abnormal boy and 2 abnormal girls. One of the healthy girls stopped growing so we transferred both normal girls and have a singleton. She is 9 months old.

Megmal, I can only tell you about what happened to me. For me 5 probes day 3 it was the best choice. As I am a high reponder to stimulating drugs, I had all the embryos frozen before testing and transfering them. We decided to transfer 2 hatching blasts and frozen again the remaining ones (after testing them). My doctor said that we are going to be able to use them in the future if we want, even if they have been tested and "refrozen". So I think that the "frozen issue" of day 5 CGH is no longer a big deal. My doctor is doing a lot of day 5 CGH. What I would not recommend is day 3 CGH. I have done it, and only had results of "crazy" embryos. My second doctor was very clear stating that day 3 CGH is the worse choice. If I have already done a 5 probes FISH, I would maybe go for sure for a day 5 CGH. It depends on your history, on results with FISH and on you doctor. For me the doctor makes THE huge difference, since every patient is unique. I tried 3 doctors with many faillures (no problems at all to get pregnant), and "found my hapiness" only with the third one. If you need more help or information, I am here!

Any advice on cgh vs 5 probe? I did a 5 probe with my last cycle. My RE recommended day 5 cgh this time around. I'm really worried about not having anything to transfer. Thoughts?

Transfer of 2 hatching blasts. Pregnant with one. 36 yrs old.

Thanks and congrats! It seems then that most people will have 2 embryos transferred... Kinda wish we'd gone for HT for our second child - then I could have had 2 transferred and only ended up with 3 kids max altogether. But like a lot of people here, we gave good old praying and swaying (not hardcore tho) a shot and it didn't work.

Wow, nice to see that some women have had success on their first "plain" IVF/PGD try! May I ask you which clinic(s) and doctor(s) you went to? May I also ask, to those who didn't mention it, how many embryos you had transferred? Because not that I don't find twins to be so adorable, but I just cannot see myself with 4 kids (3 would already be a stretch)... so we would probably transfer only one embryo. Thanks! :)

We had our girl with plain IVF/PGD. We considered Microsort but all the research seemed to point toward it being a rip-off. I would like to add that I hope you can enjoy your boys! I was so sad that I didn't have a girl, that my second son (who is phenominal) missed out on some appreciation from me. I feel very guilty about that.

IVF + PGD fish 5 probes. 13 embryos, 8 normal: 7 xx (5 blasts) and 1 xy (blast). Tried before with day 3 CGH, all abnormal. I am now 15 wks pregnant with a little girl and have 2 wonderful boys. It was not easy because of the first doctor and the CGH, but I am so so so happy now. Would do all over again!

Tinksmagic, thanks for the advice. Where can I find out what type of foods I should have my husband eat for gender to sway girl? I find oncerte information on this hard to find on the other boards.

When we were dealing with givf it was going to cost us $2500 for MS, (we got in on a deal) but were told by them that MS doesn't really increase odds too much, that we could expect that we would on average only get 60/40 odds, so one more boy than girl. Didn't seem like great odds to justify the cost so we said no, not that we ever got to use them. Honestly, look into foods that sway for gender for hubby, mine took maca root powder for the month prior to my cycle and we got 5 boys and only 1 girl. I don't think that was a coincidence. Our first cycle was pretty much a 50/50 split. This cycle loading hubby up on all boy foods for the next 6 months.

When we first decided to go high tech, our doctor highly recommended MS but we didn't want to go that route. We simply told him we weren't interested and he agreed to go with our plan. We had success on our first cycle. We had 7 embryos biopsied, 3 healthy boys, 3 healthy girls and one adnormal boy. We transferred 2 healthy female embryos and ended up pregnant with triplets. One fraternal girl and a set of identical girls. It's amazing, fantastic and wonderful.
