    Chromosome Abnormalities

    Hi nickg,

    When my husband had his sperm checked it came back that they were slighlty slower, the quantity was on the higher side, however they were not a good shape, what they looked like was not right. I hope this helps. It sounds like you have nothing to worry about. Our Obgyn checked chromosome abnormalities in this initial testing, so you might like to ask him if that was done, good luck!!

    A girlfriend of mine's husband has a genetic abnormality and they conceived on their first try using IVF/PGD. Unfortunately they have had a number of further cycles which have only resulted in one "normal" embryo which didn't implant. It's a numbers game.

    I suggest you find out using karyotyping exactly what your DH/DP's genetic issue is, and that will assist you in determining the avenue of treatment/options available to you.

    Good luck.
