Mummynaomi, you took this out of context, I totally believe in IVF I think its an amazing thing, but when poeple talk about what god delt you then isnt it the same thing. i get 4 boys and some poeple dont have children. I wasnt the one who brought up god and a higher universe. I also completly understand there are no garentees in it, IF my family was to go down this path we would do it knowing all the facts. I understand the emotional rollercoaster with IVF I have had a couple of very close friends go through this
FYM - Just being brutally honest, The IVF journey to conceive a baby is hard enough, let alone trying to get one of a particular sex. I do respect that you know there are no guarantees, but I also fear that parents looking at IVF as a solution to conceive a particular gender is fraught with danger. Also, until you actually experience IVF, you can never truly understand it, my BF travelled this path well before I did, I thought I understood and was supportive to her, in hindsight when I experienced it myself, I really had no idea.

Here's hoping baby #4 completes your family the way you want I mean no disrespect to you babe. I worry though that IVF will become as unregulated and troublesome as it is in other countries - US with multiples is a good example - high risk pregnancies resulting in massive medical issues (and babies that dont grow to full term and have medical issues), woman going through ridiculous amounts of cycles that create other medical issues and legacies etc. I believe their are very good reasons to have tight controls/guidelines around its use.
