PGT-A Testing

My husband and I (at time of IVF cycle I was 28 he was 29, no genetic issues healthy other than male factor) had decided we wouldn't do the PGT-A testing unless we experienced multiple miscarriages. I would look at how many embryos you have remaining and go from there! One thing to keep in mind though is that there have been successful pregnancies with embryos that would have tested abnormal if they had been tested

Yeah it’s so tricky 😅 I’ve spoken to my husband about it properly and we are deciding to go ahead with it, I guess it’s good to know 🤷🏻‍♀️ and now that it’s been given to me as an option I think I’d regret it if we didn’t do it .. I guess it’s just one of those things

I’m 27 and my husband is 31, we didn’t come up with any red flags with our genetic testing either. We did decide to do PGT because our doctor said it would significantly increase our chances. Our first FET ended in miscarriage (not due to a chromosome issue) and our second one has been successful. I’m currently 5 weeks pregnant. Good luck with everything! I hope your next round is successful 🤞🏻❤️

thank you so much! So sorry to hear about the miscarriage 😞 but congratulations! I wish you a very healthy happy pregnancy 🥰

thank you so much! 🥰❤️ I also forgot to mention I have PCOS as well!

If PGTA is less than what 1 embryo cost than I’d say do it. Our first transfer didn’t work and it was 3,600$. If we would have known it was genetically abnormal we probably could have saved that $. Meaning we wouldn’t have ever transferred it.

My husband and I were both 29. We are currently pregnant (35 weeks) with our first transfer. We did the PGTA testing. We didn’t have have risk prior but my doctor explained it would lower the risk of miscarriage being able to determine any chromosomal abnormalities so it made sense for us.

I went for PGTA testing after two failed transfers with untested embryos. For me I just didn’t want to lose time and go through more potentially avoidable failed transfers. We got 4 euploid embryos across 2 cycles. The first one transferred ended in a chemical pregnancy and we just got our positive beta hcg for the second euploid embryo … currently 4 weeks +4

It was worth it to me since I turned to IVF after having 2 miscarriages and 2 chemicals, one of those miscarriages had been due to trisomy 11. Actually the only reason we decided to IVF to begin with was to have the PGT option since I’m still relatively young, had a completely uncomplicated and easy to conceive pregnancy with my first and my fertility markers and hormones are completely normal. Same with my husband. After going through recurrent losses wondering what the hell went wrong between my son and our attempts at #2, there was nothing I wouldn’t do to eliminate a sure fire future miscarriage. Turned out our one abnormal embryo had the same trisomy 11 abnormality that I had at the beginning of the year.

I wouldn’t at your age, it’s so expensive and studies are also showing it’s not 100% accurate. What if you decide not to put in what could have been a good embryo?

I know and that’s exactly what I was thinking but given my 2 miscarriages my doctor really recommends it, at this point im willing to try anything 😓

maybe try one more time?? Or I guess if you can afford it $$ wise and can’t do another miscarriage (emotional wise)- then go for it!! There’s just so many emotions with IVF.. and never a “right” answer ☹️

yes it’s a very hard journey 😓 we are going ahead with the testing so just hoping it’s not a complete waste of time/money

omg!!! Good luck 🤞🏻🤞🏻!!! It’s a sign! Meant to be!

thank you so much!!! I really hope this is it 🥹🤞🏼
