Molissa - I completely agree with everything that Mylitta has to say!!!
I had my daughter naturally and quickly. However, when trying for number two, I had several miscarriages - like 6. We were tested and I have a Paracentric Inversion in chromosome 22.......MIVF made a test just for me and my chromosome. They also do the "generic PGD test".
Best of luck to you and whatever decision you make.
yeah, I had two miscarriages in the past 6 months, none of them passed 6 weeks. Since my second miscarriage, I have seen 2 GPs, 1 OB, 2 Genetic Counsellors and 3 FS. Apart from these two M/C, my first pregnancy, I didn't know I was pregnant then and did three vaccinations which could have big damages to the embryo , had to be terminated as suggested by Dr. That one was going well before we stopped it. Theoretically we should have 50% chance to have a healthy pregnancy according to GC, and there is also a small chance that a baby with unbalanced chromosome be carried to full term with serious mental and health problems. I understand the risk of M/C and just like to push my luck a bit. Life has been very tough for me in the past year, I lost my beloved father and then 2 M/Cs, I think I am strong enough to handle another M/C if it is meant to happen...
What a terrible year you've had. I'm sorry for your losses but you are a strong woman! Look what you've already survived
Foxy - are you still here? Hows the injections going?
I am going in for my epu on Monday. So far it looks like there are between 12 - 14 fairly ok sized follicles. Two more fsh stims until my trigger tomorrow night, then we will hope for the best.
