[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry OP and have a very similar miscarriage history as you. Started trying a year ago at 36.

I just met with a friend that went through 3 years of infertility. When they did IVF 9 of the 11 embryos had genetic defects. All different defects too. None of their genetic tests ever came back positive for anything.

So the question is, are you up for IVF?[/quote]

Yes. We had considered doing IVF and then got pregnant with this pregnancy naturally. I guess I figured these weren't genetic losses because the tests found nothing - but it sounds like genetic testing on the IVF side is more comprehensive then it is on the cell free dna & necropsy side?[/quote]

Depends on what you mean by necropsy? Did they do something like the natura Anora test? That is pretty comprehensive but can still miss some things (note genetic testing for IVF would not help either with things the Anora misses unless you have a balanced translocation and are doing PGT-M, not standard PGT-A).  I assume you have had karyotyping and other recurrent loss testing done? If not I’d do that.  Cell free dna tests only tests for a select few genetic issues, so that being clear doesn’t mean it’s not a genetic issue. Most likely you are dealing with chromosomal issues. IVF with PGT-a would probably help you avoid some future losses, but you can still miscarry a PGT-A cleared embryo ( I did twice, my doctor said it was still probably a chromosomal issue because my recurrent loss testing was clear any PGT doesn’t test for everything and it’s not perfect.  It was described to me as making sure there are the right number of pages in the book, but not checking that the right info is on each page). I’m sorry for your losses and good luck![/quote]
