IVF Gender Dissapointment?
(I posted this in another group but didn’t get much response. Still hoping to get more responses.)
I just found out that so far our <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a> journey has been successful, again, so far. The embryos haven’t been transferred yet but 4/6 are genetically normal. Which is great news considering my husband and I had been trying for close to 4 years and 4 failed <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IUI</a>’s. We still have a long road ahead but at least so far it’s working. However, I have a little bit of gender disappointment because all 4 embryos are female. And I was really, really hoping for a mix. My only sibling, my big brother, died 3 months ago. He was killed by a drunk driver. With missing him, I was really wanting a little boy at some point. Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy with a girl and I’m thankful that so far it’s even a possibility that we might have kids, but it makes me a little sad to be told there will be no boys. And I know this is trivial stuff, all that matters is a healthy baby but I’m still a little sad. Has anyone else had this happen and if so any happy advice to help get through it? Thank you.
