[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve had 8 transfers, no baby. Just 3 miscarriages. Starting a fresh cycle anyday at a new clinic. Hoping for better luck! [/quote]

Have you had an ERA?  I have done 4 FETs so far (two with PGS normal blasts  at clinic #1, two with untested blasts at clinic #2) BFN from the first 3 and a chemical from the last transfer.  An ERA showed I was pre-receptive and will be transferring my last 2 blasts in a few weeks. I have my fingers crossed it will make the difference. [/quote]

Thanks so much for sharing your story! Best of luck on your upcoming transfer. An ERA may be our next step. We’re adding PGS this time, which will hopefully provide more insight into whether it’s a problem with the seed or soil. If we only get one or two normals, then that’s likely our issue. Contrarily, if we get a good amount, we’ll further investigate receptivity.

FWIW, my husband and I are both 29. Unexplained infertility, though a recent semen analysis showed low morphology. We’re going to add PICSI this time to help with that. [/quote]

I am the above poster. Thank you for your kind wishes.  I think you should inquire about the cost of PGS v. ERA.  At your age most blasts should be PGS normal. I am considerably older. [/quote]

I had two D&Cs. One was chromosomally normal; the other had Turner Syndrome. I'll definitely inquire about the ERA. At this point, why not? My new RE mentioned trying an unmedicated, natural FET. I guess some women have better luck with those. [/quote]

Actually, even younger people have around 50% abnormal.  I did a DE cycle, donor was 27, and about 45% were abnormal, but we had plenty of blasts, so it was helpful to have the info.  BUT, in 8 transfers, the odds are that some were normal, so it's worth looking into further.  Also, I think 3 miscarriages counts as recurrent loss, and there are things they look at specifically in that case.  An ERA could definitely give you some helpful info.  Glad you're at a new clinic.  Low morphology alone generally isn't an issue with ICSI (they can choose normal looking sperm without PICSI - we also had MF with VERY low everything, other than DNA Fragmentation and didn't use PICSI).[/quote]
