[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wondering if anyone has gone down this same path:

Healthy 38/39 yr old couple, sperm normal (even DNA tested normal), FSH is 6, AMH is 1.0. Done 4 retrievals. Total of 28 eggs. All fertilize and divide and make it to day 4 but only 1 turned into a blast/embryo. They literally degenerate around day 4/5 and making it to early or late morula. We did PGS and tested the 1 that made it and it tested abnormal on the 15th chromosome.

Anyone have a story of eggs not making it to day 5?

Thanks for any advice. [/quote]
I remember overhearing (wasn't trying to listen, but there's no privacy) my RE at CfA talking to another couple after a transfer about this problem. He said that issues between days 3-5 could be suggestive of a severe sperm problem. Did they do a DNA fragmentation test?

Day 3 transfer might help, but since this problem seems so specific it might be worth further investigating the sperm. It also seems like you might need a different RE. Even if they are doing the right things, a different perspective can help. I now have 2 kids (both from the same cycle, first fresh and then a FET for #2). That was after 4 rounds with a different RE. It didn't seem like first RE was doing anything wrong, but new RE looked at everything from a fresh perspective...found an issue that had probably arisen between my first and second rounds with previous RE, corrected it, and I got pregnant on my first round with new RE.[/quote]
