[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]the problem is that most of the embryos will be chromosomally abnormal. so if you do get pregnant w/o intervention and don't miscarry, your first chance to do genetic testing is at 10-13 weeks gestation, and there is a 1/800 chance of miscarriage associated with CVS. and then you'd possibly have to decide if you were ok with termination for medical reasons.

with IVF you can at least test the embryos beforehand...[/quote]

DP here, in this exact situation at age 42. I have history of recurrent pregnancy loss. Pregnancy #4 was with IUI, was successful, delivered on day I turned 39.5 years old (so baby turned 6 mo on my 40th birthday). Did 3 IUIs this year; pregnant on attempts 2 & 3. First pregnancy - slow heartbeat at 6 & 7 week ultrasound, no heartbeat at 8 weeks. Testing afterward showed aneuploidy. Second IUI pregnancy was first possible cycle after miscarriage. Everything was great until NIPT & 12 week ultrasound - trisomy 21, cystic hygroma, week later it was advancing toward fetal hydrops. Terminated at 14 weeks. Will be starting IVF in new year so we can test embryos.
Good luck.[/quote]
