    Good luck ladies, I hope you get your dreams :-) Genesis stats are 30% including a few no transfers.

    HRC's stats quoted above at 83% are NOT including the no transfers, which I believe you still have to pay full price for (I may be wrong on that). All in all from those that have cycled the bfp's are probably more like 60%, but still the better option if you can stretch that far :-)

I wish I'd started this sooner as I'm 40 now so my odds aren't great . Hope you get the baby girl you dream of!!
    It is a gamble but there is a huge difference between clinics too. I tell everyone on here not to cycle with any clinic in the US(when choosing a US clinic) that has success rates below the National average according to SART.org. There is a reason clinics have good success rates and poor success rates. The lab, the protocol, the culture media used, the skill of the doctor at transfer- all of those things matter so please do not think you can compare clinics by just saying it's all random luck and it doesn't matter where you go. It does matter and our expectations should be set based upon what we choose.

    Petal- why not consult with SIRM and HRC and get an idea of what kind of protocol they would put you on and tell Savvas to use it. Consults are free.

    Hi Petal - DH is coming round to HRC now.............I'm now panicking though as they don't appear to offer sperm sort so we could go all that way and not have any pink eggs. God, this certainly is gonna be the decision of my life!!
    Me - 40
    DH - 42

    5yrs 2yrs (HRC 2014 HT Princess)

    Cycle #1 HRC Oct 2013 - 21 eggs retrieved, 15 mature, 11 fertilised, 10 to Day 5 aCGH (5 boys, 5 girls) = NT, only 1 normal XY

    Cycle #2 HRC Jan 2014 - 32 eggs retrieved, 21 mature and fertilised, 19 to Day 5 aCGH (14 girls, 5 boys) = 4 normals (2 XX & 2XY) - transferred x1 HB - BFP (6dp 6dt) - Betas 280, 2160, 20736. 1 HB (128bpm) seen at 7 weeks.

    NBP, would they do that? if I had a skype consult with hrc would they tell me what meds they'd put me on? id feel bad though then going somewhere else lol. Plus, I hate to have to ask Savvas to use another doctors protocol, I bet he would say no :-/
