You didn't have any complications during pregnancy? I'm on loss #6 and in the middle of the RI process but just totally losing hope that I won't make it out alive if I get pregnant again (almost lost my uterus last time).

I had 3 failed IUIs and at age 38, I started IVF. I had 1 PGT-A normal embryo from my first egg retrieval which resulted in my son born last year. There is hope!

The devastation I went through from those 3 miscarriages made the cost of PGT-A testing worth it for me. I wanted to reduce the chance of a miscarriage anyway that I could.


Similar story as you except I lost the IVF pregnancy too. No happy ending.

Progesterone worked for me. Had to use it up to 12 weeks but baby boy is here. Don’t give up hope!

Am working with an RE but curious about moving over to working with an RI as I feel like this isn't just bad luck despite my RLP coming back normal (no blood clotting issues, thyroid is stable, took progesterone during pregnancies). I'm concerned if I move to IVF with PGT that I will just have invested more time and money into miscarrying again but I'm open to it. What finally worked for you? And forgive me if this is the incorrect forum to pose this question..


OP what is your age? If you don’t mind me asking


I’m 30

Thank you. I'm currently waiting testing results for POC from recent Miscarriage to see if it was a genetic issue. Really hoping for some more answers. The RE saw a very enlarged yolk sac and was misshapen so she suspects testing will come back with some kind of genetic abnormality.


POC is referring to particles of conception (passed fetal tissue) not PCOS.
