We are currently looking to use a gestational surrogate in Texas. Even though I ended up with no good embryos I recommend it because I think it's good to know now and not later with a miscarriage. It kind of makes me wonder what they get out of their alternative recommendations. More info in my profile about my testing and treatment, and Im open to answering any questions. This isnt very surprising considering these embryos have no cells that are euploid in order to self-correct (read more about that here). Thanks for commenting! We started some workup with my OB (TSH, karyotyping and carrier testing). Try to take extra good care of yourself while you regroup from this cycle, and then go with your instincts for your next cycle. (2014)found no difference inongoing pregnancybetween grades (about 50% for each category). Thank you TXtoCA, Im definitely planning to make changes. In large scale Double Blind Randomized Control Trials (the best method for medical protocol research) PGT did not increase your chances of pregnancy, except in some scenarios. Good luck. Was just curious if the percentages of a live birth increase after a positive pregnancy test. Chemical pregnancies occur so early that many people who miscarry don't realize it. Best of luck to you. Im surprised there are still doctors out there who do not bring up this protocol. Ive had two chemicals and my RE suggested doing an endometrial receptivity assay (ERA). The chances of having a positive outcome with PGS testing and IVF depend on the number of the produced embryos that have a positive result in the test. And mosaics are in between, with low/moderate level mosaics (<50% aneuploid cells) performing nearly the same as euploids. (I was taking baby aspirin and Lovenox 2x/day for blood clotting disorders as well as Prednisone 30 mg /day and Intralipid transfusions weekly for elevated NK cells). Obviously this is not an ideal situation but sometimes this happens. But if you dont like the extra meds you could talk with your current or new clinic about not doing it and get their thoughts on it. 2nd was an FET that was a chemical, likely due to an embryo issue, even though it was graded highest. What Is a Chemical Pregnancy: Early Miscarriage - Healthline Your doctor sounds JUST like mine did before I switchedpushing surrogacy and unwilling to try anything differently. The chart below, based on information published in Reproductive Biomedicine Online, in 2016, shows:. We had 4 blasts tested in our first IVF cycle and 2 were abnormal / 1 mosaic / and then 1 "normal". I felt like a number in his practice, and I think he was milking my insurance for all he could get. Don't lose hope! He was surprised my doctor was doing a Receptiva test naturally, without medication, since the idea is to simulate the same environment of a transfer, and was also surprised that my doctor had done a 5-day-post-retrieval-transfer in the first place. (2018)found a slight reduction inlive birth ratecompared to single biopsied embryos (50% vs 58%), but this was notstatistically significant.
