I am a newbie to posting, but have been researching PGD via IG for quite a while now (it is such a fantastic site). Anyway I am hoping to do PGD/IVF in early 2010 but need some advice from other international travellers who cycled at HRC. How long did you need to spend in CA to complete the cycle? I am an Australian living in NZ so would love to hear from fellow Aussies or Kiwis (or anyone else) who have cycled at HRC. Were you able to do any of the monitoring (ultrasounds, blood tests) for the first part of the cycle in Australia or NZ? Or did you need to spend the whole time in USA? How was your experience? We ideally want to minimise the time away so appreciate any help or advice. My initial research suggested SART in Thailand would be easier to use and shorten our stay but I am a bit worried about their success rate. Also as I am getting older the option of MS at HRC improves my chances of my desired girl embryos. What do people think? Thanks!! : )
