Sweet Sara - so sad to log on and read about your disappointing result. Totally understand that you are in a dark place. Sending you the biggest sincerest . I wish I had something helpful to say, aside from my keeping my for this last emby. The whole IVF thing is so horribly taxing on our hearts, minds and bodies. I know in my case DH and I talked about both donor eggs and adoption if we could not get to blast stage. Thinking of you, hun

Ferals - I am glad you found the reason for your loss and that you have the option of PGD. I remember you mentioning in a past post that if it had been another specific problem, that PGD would not be available to you. In response to your question about IVF/PGD versus naturally conceiving: When I did IVF I took the view that the 40% successful PGD transfer rate was a good thing. In our mid-30's I think conception is something like 15% in a natural cycle. Also, I had a natural chemical PG in January after 3 MC's (two of those had been confirmed as spontaneous chromosonal losses). When I first got that short-lived BFP I was terrified - DH and I both said straight away that we had wished we had had the reassurance of PGD. Sara gave sound advice about some pre-testing before a cycle. A good follicle count and your FSH level will give the FS an idea of how well you may respond to an IVF cycle before dishing out the $'s. HTH.
