Gender selection using Superior Art in Bangkok

[saramac]

hi everyone,

I was interested to know if anyone has gone down the path of gender selection using PGD.

As most know its currently not available in Australia due to the fear of people "playing god" and only selecting the sex of the child they desire.

Well I have two beautiful boys and my husband and I know we only want to have one more child and we would love to complete our family with a little girl.
Dont get me wrong if i was to have a third boy I would love it just as much as my other children, however seeing as there is an option to know that we can have a little girl then that would be something we would like to try.

We have tried naturally using the Shettles method and timing etc. So far no luck and Im 33 so didnt want to wait too much longer.

Working with Genea in Sydney the closest place to have the procedure done is at Superior Art Clinic in Bangkok. An IVF specialist in sydney works with you and in conjunction with Superior Art to obtain the result.

Has anyone had this done or know much about it?

Any advice or info or thoughts would be appreciated!

Hello, I would be very interested in finding this out aswell. I have 3 boys and we are only having one more and I would love a girl.

The only thing I know about it is that it is very expensive.

[saramac]

I have looked into a bit and it will cost approx AUD $11000 for the procedure and related appointments etc.
The cost includes 10 nights acommodation in Bangkok too.

So not cheap, but a small price to pay in the big scheme of things if it allows you to have your family balanced.

That's each round of IVF isn't it?

I have emailed them. Thankyou for that information

Not cheap, no. But only $11000 if it works first try.

I have emailed them and they have replied already so will be reading through the attachment they sent. They are willing to contact sydney and organise them to look into it aswell. The problem is I dont think I could go to Thailand! im not a very well travelled person and to go to a country where I dont speak the language and its such a different culture just plain scares me.

I just dont know If you could do it here I would in a heart beat.

Wow. That actually doesn't seem that expensive in comparison to say IVF, which can be close-ish to that, especially with 10 nights accom. Less than what I would have thought.

Now I'm curious... I don't know anything about this.

How does it work?

[foreva*your*mummy]

saramac - How did you find out this information? might do some digging into it. Thats if im not already UTD im on my TWW!! lol

[saramac]

The have a website and you can email them.
They sent me some info and a costing outline.
I think then you would be in touch with Genea ( sydney IVF) and they then get you started and guide you through the process up unitl you go to Bangkok.
Genea works closely with Superior Art to monitor your progress.

If you search on Genea website it has abit of info too.

Foreva - hope you can save your self the $$$ and are UTD already!

I have been in contact with New York and they seem extremely helpful with people from outside America. They said the cost will be between 15 - 17, 000. And you will have to be there for about 3-5 days min. So I don't think that it's too bad. Now for someone to just drop that amount of money in my bank account and I will be set to go lol

Amen to that!! We need a money fairy to kindly make a deposit here too.

Sad that money controls everything!
