[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]GW Fertility poo pooed DNA fragmentation, but after 3 failed cycles with them, we want to get fragmentation checked at least. Looking for recommendations for a urologist in DC that will test for DNA fragmentation. MFI is 1% morph and post-wash count ranges from 1-5 million usually, though we did ICSI for IVF.[/quote]

We went around and around and around with GW about this. We ended up doing the DNA frag test on our own after 5 failed rounds of IVF (4 at GW) and the results came back showing high frag and GW still will not listen to our concerns about it being male factor. It’s incredibly frustrating. Bottom line, you’ll probably need to move to a different clinic for help with this. [/quote]

Wow this is so frustrating! Can I ask what your results looked like? Low fertilization rates? Or normal fertilization rates and failed transfers? Something else? We have only one failed round at gw but they aren’t recommending further testing for my husband which I don’t understand. I think our fertilization rate with ICSI was low (60%), but they say it’s fine. [/quote]

Lots of eggs, good fert rate, but most of the embryos arrested around Day 3.  We managed to get 6 blasts over the 4 cycles, but all were PGS abnormal.  [/quote]
