[quote=Anonymous]I'm in the donor shared risk program, and my donor led to three pregnancies, and three miscarriages, all within a short time of each other.  I'd rather move on to another donor, but I have 5 frozen embryos, and I have to use them according to the agreement, my doctor won't waive it.

It's clear there's a problem with the donor, so my next best option is to test the embryos. I've asked to send them off while we wait for my period, but the doctor for some unfathomable reason 1) wants to wait for karyotyping from other patients, when that kind of karyotyping is not reliable, mine was 46XX and he said it was probably my tissue that they tested and 2) recommended that I go forward WITHOUT testing, UNLESS there is an abnormal karyotyping--umm, three m/cs is RPL and I'm not going to do that and 3) will "discuss" testing with me after that comes back. . .

WTF?  I want to believe he's on my side but there is NO WAY those embryos are going in me without testing after ALL THREE recipients miscarried from the fresh cycle.  I would rather have another donor but at least if he holds me to the agreement, WHAT could be their objection to testing the embryos.  The risk to young embryos is very small, and no way am I going through this FIVE times.  Her embryos clearly love to implant, but clearly, they don't survive.  If there's a normal one in the bunch, only testing can reveal it.

What would SG have to gain by delaying testing or denying it?  Can they kick me out of shared risk for it?  That doesn't even make sense, my friend with the same doctor tested her frozens after several miscarriages, and only one out of 4 came back normal.

Someone please tell me that I'm overreacting, and please explain why I need to wait to test these embryos?[/quote]
