Hello!
I’ve created this thread for anyone out there who is undergoing IVF with PGD, like me.
Thought to use this thread as a support group/advice/queries for anyone going through the same thing.
The heartbreak and anguish of this difficult journey to motherhood is real. Having a husband as stable as a rock makes the journey much more bearable.
My own experience in a gist:
Tried for 2 years
Aug 2017-m/c at 8wk
April 2018-m/c at 7wk
Requested for karyotyping even though gynae says usually done for couples after 3 consecutive m/c.
Karyotyping results-SO has a pair of balanced translocation
Met up with genetic counsellor; chances of conceiving a chromosomally normal baby naturally is very low, even though there are no issues getting pregnant.
Only chance of a chromosomally normal baby is to do IVF with PGD.
Went for 1st cycle in Nov 2018.
13 eggs extracted, 12 went through ICSI, 10 fertilised, 8 became blasts, of which 4 were good grades sent for PGD testing.
PGD outcome: 1 blast no diagnosis, 1 blast abnormal, 1 blast normal and 1 blast mosaic.
FET done Jan 2019; put in the 1 and only normal blast.
Beta-hcG after 2ww: negative.
Now waiting for dr appointment to discuss when to go for Round 2 IVF PGD.
Feel free to share your own IVF with PGD experiences here, if you have.
