No judgement at all here, just curious! For those who live in a place where sex selection is legal, and who did PGT-A and chose an embryo to transfer based on sex:

Was your decision based solely on preference, or were there genetic or other external factors (family balancing) that played a role? And which sex did you choose, and why? I feel like most people (in this sub at least) choose girl, but curious about reasoning in either direction.

Also, if you have a partner, were you in total agreement about it?

32F & three days out from my first FET! For context, doing IVF for MFI only and never been pregnant a day in my life.

I’m doing a modified natural cycle, triggered with Ovidrel on Monday and my doctor had my progesterone checked this morning. It was 18.7 ng/ml. I’m supposed to start today 200mg of Prometrium inserted vaginally 3x/day for 10 weeks.

I’ve heard that some clinics don’t require use of progesterone if your body is naturally producing it, or will let you stop after betas, but my clinic is telling me I’ll be doing it the full 10 weeks “to be sure.”

Obviously I want what’s best for positive pregnancy outcomes but also really do not want to be shoving pills up my vagina 3x/day, have to wear a pad in summer, side effects on top of the first trimester ones, no swimsuits, no sex, all during what is hopefully my last “just us” summer with my husband.

Is 10 weeks of progesterone REALLY necessary if I’m on the younger side, have very regular cycles and have no history of pregnancy loss?
