@laurad75 - We have a follow up with RE on March 30, so I guess we'll discuss FET timing then. I really want to move on to it right away, but H is convincing me to take summer vacation to his home country, and then to mine, before we do the FET, since if we do succeed, we won't be able to travel in a very long time, and we both have some elder close relatives that really want to see us. Which means we'd have to wait till August.

Me: 37 DH: 45 I don't produce FSH, so no natural menstrual cycle. DH has reduced morphology. Summer 2014 IUI (with first husband): cancelled after almost a month of stims due to too many follicles Time off to divorce, get back on my feet, find a new hubby and get married again 💑 March 2017 IVF#1: ~70 follicles, 13R, 10M, 7F, 3B = 2 PGS Normal (both XY) - no transfer due to ohss Sept 2017 FET#1: BFP, Beta#1 (10dpt) - 253, Beta#2 (12dpt) - 528, DS born 05/31/2018 👨👩👦 Dec 2019 FET#2: BFN Changed clinic, planning March 2020 IVF#2 - postponed due to the pandemic April 2020 IVF #2: ~30 follicles, 24R, 12M, 8F, 4B = 2XY & 2XX, all normal Sept 2020 FET#3: one XX embryo, BFP, Beta#1 (9dpt) - 161, Beta#2 (11dpt) - 519, Beta#3 (19dpt) - 7174, Due date 05/30/2021 DD born 05/23/2021 👨👩👧👦 - My family is now complete
We asked not to be told the gender of our embryos, since we only have 2 available, so will use both anyways.
Yesterday we went to see RE to plan for FET (in August). The nurse came with us first to do the vitals. I didn't remember the date of the last AF, but I knew I emailed about it, so she started looking through my records to find it. I was looking at the screen to help her locate the correct email. And then she opened this one page for 2 secs, and I saw it loud and clear: our embryos are both boys! and apparently even the 3rd abnormal one is also a boy. Wow....
We mentioned it to RE later on to get a print-out copy, and she was very upset with the nurse (understandably). Hopefully she won't be in too much trouble because of that, but I do agree that it was rather careless of her.
