[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How many cycles did it take you to get 4 embryos?[/quote]

OP here. Thanks everyone for weighing in. The first cycle we got zero, and the four euploids came from the second cycle. Did a third cycle recently and got one more euploid (another boy). So we now have five embryos total, which I'm excited about. Going to try again in a month or so to see if we can get a girl. Thankfully, my insurance is covering most of the costs.[/quote]

Those are decent numbers. There are some ways to actually sort sperm to shift the odds of getting a boy or girl embryos. Cornell did a study on this and the sperm sorting method resulted in 79% girl embryos (when selecting for girls). I’m not sure if they offer this to the general public, but you could reach out the clinic and see if they provide this service. https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0282216
The alternative option (possibly more risky option) would be to fly to Puerto Vallarta Mexico to use Microsort, a sperm sorting technology that is well established (and developed in Fairfax Va) but not offered in the US because the FDA felt there was no clinical need for it. If you go with the Mexico route definitely check whether your US clinic is willing to use the sorted sperm samples for another IVF or not. If your clinic is  are not willing to use it then you would end up wasting in 5-10k to on a trip to Mexico/medical services for nothing basically. [/quote]
