[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm 43 and doing ivf now with PGS (that's what you mean, btw, not PGD--PGS is broad testing for a whole host of genetic abnormalities whereas PGD is where the lab builds a specific test that looks for a unique genetic issue that you and your husband are passing along to embryos). If I could go back to 41 and go straight to IVF with PGS I would. My husband and I delayed because, like you, I had "no problem" getting pregnant. So I was somehow convinced that there was "nothing wrong with me." Sure I can get pregnant no problem. Sure my numbers looked good.  And still no baby. Five miscarriages.

The truth is, as frustrating as it is to hear, that despite the fact that you have no other fertility issues, your eggs are 41 years old and most of them are chromosomally abnormal. They just are. IVF with PGS will give you the very best chance you have of getting pregnant. You will get access to a number of eggs--not just one at a time like you are doing now. That's a HUGE advantage.  And you will be giving only the "normal" ones a chance to grow. Why spend the next few years continuing to waste precious fertility time. A few months to get pregnant, then a month and a half growing an embryo, then a miscarriage, then a few months recovery time.  The time slips away.  At 41, you have MUCH better chances than you will next year or the next. Please don't throw it away.[/quote]
