[quote=Anonymous]OP here.

13:22, thank you so much. It's been a lot to get through, so one and done may very well be an option.

13:40, apologies for the delayed reply after your kind and thoughtful message.

You and your wife have been through a lot. Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I sincerely hope you are able to add to your family in the way you'd like.

We haven't been through specific genetic testing since the losses, other than initial screening for CF, Tay Sachs, and what GW called the "Jewish panel" because my husband has some Jewish heritage. Not sure what that covered.

Is there additional testing we can do that you know of? The genetic counselor said there was nothing in our full karotype either time that indicated it was a genetic issue. When I asked, "So it's just age and bad luck?" her answer was yes.

Thanks for the advice. I honestly don't want to do IVF, but the idea of implanting healthy embryos seems tempting. The thing IVF seems like it may be able to tell is is whether I have any healthy eggs, or whether this is just a fool's errand at 41.

That said, I read the other day most doctors don't want you to be breastfeeding for 3+ months before trying, so I'd need to wean my daugther and wait. Neither of which I'm really excited about. But I'm also not excited about another 12 week wait -- plus whatever it takes us to get pg -- to figure out whether it's viable.

Ugh. This all just sucks. I'm tired of having nothing but shitty options in front of me.[/quote]
