[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've seen this crazy in both directions.  It will sound weird to say, but at least when they're chasing a girl it's usually the mom's choice to go through another pregnancy.  When the dad is cursing and breaking things at a gender reveal because it's another girl, you just know that uterus is in for another go whether she wants it or not.[/quote]

I have three girls but hoped for a boy at some point. Obviously I love all my children and am so so so glad they are who they are! [b]Everyone I know who did IVF either chose their children’s gender or lamented they couldn’t choose because all the viable eggs were one gender. [/b]Gender disappointment is normal but the vast majority of people realize the minute their child is born is that they have the child they were meant to have + immense gratitude. [/quote]

Nice to meet you.  Currently pregnant with IVF, opted not to find out the gender before implantation, still don't know and won't find out until birth.  Will be happy either way (currently have one daughter).[/quote]

We opted to be surprised, too. [/quote]

Ok…well this is an anonymous forum, so not quite. And if you ask the IVF clinic you use I’m sure they will tell you that you are outliers. The fact is that most people wouldn’t go through IVF to choose their children’s gender but my husband’s good friend just announced to him that he was having a girl and literally yelled into the phone “we chose that shit.” My eldest daughter’s best friend’s parents chose there three kids genders. Another of my mom friend’s is sad that they only had viable male embryos. In the context of knowing a lot of people who are open about choosing their children’s gender through IVF it’s easy to see why if given the option people would choose. And in my own life I know someone who was sad that despite going through IVF she didn’t have that option. It’s very common for people to want children of both genders. The Torah literally tells parents to keep having children until they have one of each gender. It’s baked into a lot of cultures. There is no reason to pathologize.[/quote]

I had an embryo transfer today and do not know the gender! I will find out early in the potential pregnancy as I will be highly monitored. But yeah some people are just infertile and need IVF for that reason, not because they need to control every aspect of their life. [/quote]
