Midwest Fertility Center

I live in the Chicago suburbs and am doing research for IVF/PGD for our 5th child. Yes, 5th. We did EGS for our 4th child and it did not work...which is fine with us but we want our girl.  There is no option for us other than high tech because we really don't want anymore beyond having a daughter. So, I was curious about people's experiences with the Midwest Fertility Center...I'd probably go to the one in Naperville. I am trying to save money (wish I had the $ right now because they are running a special!) for when we get going on.  TIA!!

PurpleDream, I can't tell you anything about Midwest fertility per se but I wanted to respond to your post since I'm also from the Chicago SW suburbs and have been considering doing HT.  Well actually my husband will not try again since we are also going onto our 5th kid.  Yes 5th kid!!!!  Basically we would be done except for this quest for a daughter so it has to be a 100% guarantee sort of thing.   In fact I pass Midwest on the way home from the hospital all my kids have been born at so I would be using the one in Downers Grove. 

If you are interested in sharing your findings and I share mine you can e-mail me at lucklesslisa@hotmail.com.  I'm still in the process of figuring out if we are even going to do this and what facilities in the Chicagoland area would make sense if we did.  I really toy with the fact of success rates since I'm 38 right now and it is scary to think I may be wasting money on something that doesn't work. 

Hello to both of you! I am also from the Chicago area, the western suburbs. Kind of in the same boat. I just had my 3rd boy almost 2 months ago. I was hoping my longing for a girl would just go away! My newest addition is absolutely perfect, however I still just feel incomplete without a girl. We are thinking about doing HT also. Such a complicated decision. Some days I want to start the process immediately and get pregnant tomorrow! Other days, I wonder if I will have regrets, this may sound crazy, but even if I get a girl through HT, will I regret what I needed to do to get her? I'm so hormonal right now which doesn't help! It is so easy for so many I know, most people I know have mixed gender families. It's difficult to find support because gender selection is so voodoo to talk about IRL.

I'm pretty sure we will go through with the HT though. In the end, I think I will be a better mother to my other children if I at least try. I have been looking online and I think that these two places will gender select:

Hi Chicago Ladies,

I am from chicago aswell, But i dont have any experience from the above mentioned Dr's , But my sister went to Dr Randy Morris (IVF1.com)Once & had a chemical pregnancy. She also tried Dr Potter & one more Dr & finally she decided Dr Randy morris was far better than the other 2 re's So she is planning to give Dr Randy Morris One last chance.

 Also i rememeber she told me there are 2 other ladies in this forum who went to Dr Morris & got pregnant with Twins & A singleton.

I'm currently starting a cycle with Dr. Morris at IVF1. This is my second cycle with him. I do really like him. He is a straight shooter and does not sugar coat things. He is very understanding of GD and supports all decisions. I'm doing the 24 panel testing this time. Praying to get at least one XX.

Hello Megmal,

 Good to know that u r also cycling with Dr Morris.

Pls. keep us posted on your progress.
