If you had multiple losses from natural conception, did IVFw/ PGT result in a successful pregnancy?

I did not, miscarried the ivf pregnancy like all the others, but I was losing known, normal chromosomal pregnancies. They never should have promised to change nothing and it would work.

Had four natural pregnancies that ended in four miscarriages starting in my early 30s. All testing was normal for me and husband. Did IVF+PGS - our RE basically said that since we were unexplained, IVF+PGS was not at all a guarantee, but at least we could know that we were giving things the best shot we could with a presumably healthy embryo. We needed two rounds - got two abnormal embryos the first round, and six normals/two abnormals the second.

Got pregnant again naturally before the first transfer and for whatever reason finally carried successfully to term. We decided to try again on our own when that baby turned one but had two more miscarriages and then turned to our frozen embryos. I had success with the first transfer (our best quality embryo) who is now a toddler.

Sending good thoughts to you - it's such a terrible roller-coaster and I really wish you the best.

I had two back to back pregnancies and losses at 6-7 weeks when I was 36. We tried naturally and 3 IUIs and could not get pregnant again. We were just about to start IVF when I had a natural chemical pregnancy at age 37. We were both tested and told it was "unexplained infertility".

I was 38 when we started the egg retrieval process. Not testing the embryos was never an option for us after 3 miscarriages (the miscarriages were never tested). Our PGT-A normal baby was born last year after our first transfer.

I’m the OP from this post. I did have success after moving to IVF with PGT.

Congratulations, OP, and thanks for circling back to let us know! I always feel encouraged by good news stories.

Jumping straight to IVF without nailing down a reason for your secondary infertility could be a costly mistake. You owe yourself proper testing.
