Gender testing on frozen embryos?

autumnlalaautumnlala
in Infertility Veterans

Does anyone have experience with this?  We ended up with boy-boy twins after IVF.  We are debating trying for a third with frozen embryos from that cycle.  I would consider gender testing if it's possible.

Thank you!

    Is there a medical reason you'd consider gender testing?  My RE will not do gender testing unless their is a medical condition that could only be passed to one gender.

    1st u/s at 6w6d - one hb * 2nd u/s at 8w3d - no hb detected 11/10/11 * natural m/c 11/13/11
    FET #1 Jan/Feb 2012 - 3 delays - cancelled 2/13

    When they did CGH on my embryos they told us the sex you would only have to do PGD to figure out the sex and if the embryos were normal.

    My clinic offers this as a test that they will do after extensive counselling. Is there a medical reason you need this, that is, a disease that would be transferred gender specific?

    As I did PGD on my embies I know that I have a G/B in the freezer for my FET

    Multiple ectopics, 2 failed IVF's
    IVF #1: Did not get to ET, embies all failed PGD (major chromosomal defects)
    IVF #2: We have 2 chromosomally perfect embies as a result of PGD (Boy/Girl) 1 failed the thaw (Girl) Transferred 1, yet ended as a c/p
    Thought it was the end of our TTC Journey 6/20/2012
    SHOCK BFP 9/28/2012: IT'S A BOY! and everything is normal !!!!!!

    Little A born 38w 2d on 05/23/13 and is a true miracle for this IF Vet!

    I don't think this is the right board for this question. Unless you have a medical reason for chosing your gender, this question is particularly irritating and honestly offensive to people that would give anything for a baby- regardless of sex.

    DH: Severe MFI/Azoo Me: Compound heterozygous MTHFR
    IVF #1= m/c- methotrexate @6w2d
    FET #1= BFN
    IVF #2= m/c- D&C @8w5d
    IVF #3= Beta #1 9dp5dt= 252, Beta #2 11dp5dt= 417, Beta #3 17dp5dt= 4,952
    US #2 @ 7w2d= twins, baby B measuring behind
    US #3 @ 8w5d= Baby A doing well, no HR in baby B

    Yes you can. Not every clinic does pgd purely for sex selection. You may have to transfer your embryoes to a clinic that does, but it's definitely an option. Good luck getting your little girl. I did pgd for sex selection only, for a boy.
