: What would account for 2 "successful" IVF that resulted in
: unviable pregnancies each with no heart beat at 8 weeks after 3 failed iui and total 22 mos. ttc. i am 33 with no known problems, only "unexplained infertility". my recurrent pregnancy loss work-up showed all results to be normal, including
: blood kareotype for me and my husband, antiphospolipid, etc. I am 33 with no known cause of
: infertility.
: should I pursue the diagnostic question via PGD or otherwise, or instead just
: keep trying (unassisted, IUI or IVF)?
: Might it make any difference in embryo quality to change the
: protocol for stimulation or the embryo culture or try to go to blastocyst even though already both IVF cycles resulted in
: pregnancies with this 3-day transfer protocol? After how many cycles do you resort to PGD? Thank you for your response.
: After 2 miscarriages, your chance of having a
baby with your next pregnancy is at least 70%. I believe that your miscariages were related only to genetic problems with the fetuses. If you made it to 8 weeks, your embryo quality is fine( how it looks, not the quality of the chromosomes. If you have done 3 injection iui cycles, do more IVF. Dr. Licciardi
