Hi ladies,
I am joining this forum after years of just reading your posts and looking for answers. I am hoping you, wise ladies, can help me decide what to do next: I am turning 40 in January and want to decide as soon as possible whether to go and have a transfer (FET) of two genetically unchecked embryos (5 and 6 day blasts) or whether to leave them frozen for now and try another cycle with genetic screening. A quick summary: I got pregnant in Feb after a FET but miscarried at 12 week (one 6 day blastocyst remains frozen from that cycle) , tried another cycle with PGD this time, to curb the likelihood of another heartbreaking miscarriage and a D&C. (the D&C didnt remove everything and I had to return to hospital for hysteroscopy, and it all took at least four months to get my system back to normal) I learnt about the usefulness of Ubiquinol for egg quality but unfortunately only on the day I started stimming for the second IVF. I took 400 mg daily till egg collection. Ended up with four 5-day blastocysts (same result as previous cycle about 10 months earlier). However, the PGD returned three of them abnormal. The fourth one wasnt checked for some technical reason, the sample they took contained no genes or something. They froze the unchecked one. My plan is: leave the two genetically unchecked frozen blasts (one from each cycle) alone for now and undergo another PGD cycle after 3 months on Uniquinol to improve the eggs - already on my second month. But doctors that I speak with (both from the clinic and one from another clinic who is a friend of a friend) are telling me to have the two frozen embies transferred before going for another IVF. What do you think?? By doing another cycle including PGD I hope to minimise the risk of another miscarriage, which would render me unable to TTC for another half a year and at my age, I dont have much time to mess around, do I. Maybe I am too pessimistic and shouldnt automatically expect a miscarriage. The truth is that if I did get pregnant and didnt miscarriage, I wouldnt have to bother with another cycle... But how likely is that!?
