I'm 31 and my DH is 44. I will be 32 by the time we start everything. We go in for our consultation in a couple weeks so I know I'm jumping the gun a bit, I would just like to be as prepared as possible. Thank you for all the information

Thank you, so I should have DH start taking the liquid olive extract and Vit C, any others? Should I also be taking anything other than a multivitamin? We've always gotten pregnant super fast but from what I've been reading that doesn't really matter! Yikes.

I'm going through the same doubts but I'm still a long ways away from where you are. Whenever I start to doubt if I could handle 4 kids, I also have 3 boys, I remind myself that no matter how hard it might be its only temporary. Our kids will grow up fast, if you don't at least try you'll look back 20 years from now kicking yourself. Good luck with your FET!

Ok, thank you!!! Anything you think could help the male/female ratio I'm willing to ask my DH to try!

Hi everyone. Although I'm thrilled to be planning a round of IVF/PGD I'm plagued with worry before we even have our first consultation. My DH has fathered 4 boys in a row, he has two children from a previous marriage, a girl and boy. Then we went on to have three boys. What if we go through ER and find that we only have males? I also worry about the doctor seeing my history of 3 c sections and tel...

Hi everyone. I've been obsessively reading through the posts here and I noticed a couple of them mentioned certain supplements could help the men produce more girl sperm and also others can help to insure that the woman's body reacts better to IVF. I've even read that pineapple can help!! Is this true? What are your experiences?

Hi everyone,
I've been a member here for a while but have always taken part of the Gender Disappointment forum. My husband and I recently decided to consider IVF/PGD and we are going to meet with our local fertility/gender selection doctor in June.
We haven't made any real decisions yet and need to have some questions answered before we commit fully. Some of those questions, besides cost, ar...

I've had multiple occasions where I've been out shopping with my three boys and woman will go out of their way to come tell me how lucky I am. It's so strange when I'm in the depths of GD and here there are so many people who would love to have what I do. It makes me feel grateful but at the same time very un grateful....does that makes sense?

Thank you both for your kind words and support. I just feel like I'm just at the end of the rope, I don't know how much worse this feeling can get. I'm hoping that the pain will peak at some point and then gradually fade. I jusy want it to go away. I beg God every night. Not having my girl is bad enough, but this pain is tearing me apart.

Nope. Everyone else in my family has either boys and girls or all girls. I'm the only one with only boys.

Do you ever wonder what it would be like if it was your huband, not you, who had the extreme GD? What would you do? I think about this everyday. What if all my husband had was girls, and I had a son with another man previous to our relationship, would I keep having babies to give him a son?It breaks my heart every single day to know that I will never have a daughter. NEVER. And yet my husband has ...

I have only gotten one or two negative comments about how many boys I have and a few " going to try for a girl"
I wanted to just throw in here that I have gotten WAY more positive comments about my three little guys. Me and my husband were in Target not too long ago and this older gentlemen came up to us and patted my husband's shoulder and " three boys! Great job! Beautiful family". He was bea...

The more me and DH talk about having another child and the reasons for doing so, the more I realize that we won't be having anymore children.I feel that if we go through with a tubal reversal just to try for a girl it would be selfish of me. I'm already overwhelmed with my boys and what if it was another boy? Then what? Would I beg my DH for another and another?We had a heart to heart the other ni...

I am very sorry for your loss and everyone else's losses on this forum. I absolutely agree with prayingforaprincess though, if that desire and pain is in your heart DON'T get you tubes tied. I had mine tied thinking it would force me to come to terms with never having a daughter and it didn't. It made it so much worse.
(((((((big hugs)))))))

This is my biggest trigger for GD. When I was pregnant with our third son my husband's ex wife got pregnant at 40 years old. Not that age matters at all, but I figured she'd never have anymore children since she was extremely abusive to my two step children and my husband and I have had sole custody of them for 8 years. Well, wouldn't you know it, right after my son was born this horrible woman an...

You know what? I honestly ask myself that question everyday. Would I be ok with DS#4? Would that be the number that would take the depression away either way? On the other hand I think to myself, I couldn't possibly have 4 boys in a row. Actually 5 boys in a row for my husband.I just don't know if we could do it. We don't have supportive family memebers, we never have time for each other as it is,...

I'm sorry. I have been there. I have put on the fake smile and made comments like "Oh, I wanted another boy anyway" or "3 boys is way better than having 3 girls" but I was only fooling myself. I desperately wanted to hear it's a girl. Big hugs to you and congratulations on your little guy. Seeing my three little guys togther really is an awesome experience. Even though I do have the pain of not ha...

This is the number one thing that is stopping me from seriously planning on IVF! What would we do with the boy embryos? I couldn't terminate them but I also couldn't give them to someone else and know I have biological children out there being raised by someone else!!

I'm in the same boat with you except the opposite gender. I had my tubes tied and now I desperately want to have them reversed to try again. I keep telling myself that number 4 will be my girl!! But, my husband has his doubts and I know he's terrified that if we do try again and it's boy #4 that I will seriously lose it. It's so very hard.

I can totally relate to the stupid comments. I get them pretty much every day that I take my 3 boys out. "Oh, too bad, 3 boys", "No girl for you" or my favorite "When are you going to have your girl?". Grrrrrr. Makes me so angry because I don't want my boys to feel bad but at the same time my heart is just breaking!!

It's so frustrating! Some days I'm totally fine and the depression hits and lasts for days!! I would love to do IVF/PGD but it's very expensive and having 4 kids is scary. I just wish the pain would go away and I'd be satisfied with what I have. I just don't understand why I never got my little girl, I'm the only one in my entire family with all boys....I just don't understand :(

Hi everyone, I'm new here. I had a tubal a year ago after my third son was born via c section and I have regretted it ever since. I feel like I gave up on my dream of having a daughter of my own and I grow angrier every day that I didn't stop the tubal even though I knew it was a mistake.
