[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just found out I am having my fourth miscarriage in 16 months. I have no living children - have never gotten past 6 weeks of pregnancy. This pregnancy I even got a 6 week scan and had a healthy embryo with a good heartbeat, but it was all gone by 7 weeks.  I'm not a candidate for IVF -all of my tests have come back normal and I actually get pregnant very easily. I've had pregnancies tested and my spouse and I both karyotyped. No genetic abnormalities- my Dr. told me if they have gotten those embryos from IVF and tested them they would have used them.  I have heard stories about people having success with their 7th or 8th try and I though I would go three or four more rounds before talking about surrogacy. However, I'm starting to feel like that would be a waste of time. I'm 35 and my spouse is approaching 40. I had hoped to have two children, but would probably stop at one if we used a surrogate. Should we give it another year? Start now? For anyone who has used a surrogate, when did you decide to go that way? It is such a huge amount of money. We can manage it, but it would wipe out our regular savings. [/quote]

When you say no genetic abnormalities, does that mean the products of conception were for genetic abnormalities? If so then I would think about seeing a reproductive immunologist (I assume you are already under the care of reproductive endocrinologist, if not definitely that is your first stop). If they products of conception were not genetically tested (not just pathology), then your doctor has no business saying that the embryos would have been transferred in IVF. PGT-A genetic testing is not perfect, but for someone like you, who is likely producing a lot of genetically abnormal blasts, it can save you a lot of time and heartache.[/quote]
