Infertility

Genetic Counselor Meeting

I have a meeting tomorrow with one after getting our results from our recurrent miscarriage testing. I tested positive for MTHFR and a chromosome inversion and just wondering if anyone has met with one before.  I'm mostly wondering what questions I should ask? Any insight is appreciated!

  • I screen shotted this message and your message from the Jan FET thread. She said she would have to see your full results to know exactly what to ask... But she said it's really good that you were tested and found out what the issue is.  She was wondering if you have a family history of miscarriages and eventually had successful pregnancies?  She thinks you should most definitely keep trying.  As far as she can tell it just means your probability for chromosomally abnormal eggs is higher, but not that it's every egg- and that that would be a great question to ask your GC.  What about sending your frosties out for PGS testing?  I've heard of people unfreezing to biopsy and freezing again.  I know it's risky, but in your case I would think it would be worth the risk?  Do you have your exact test results?  Let me know what the GC says!

  • @APM_SLP thanks for the follow up!  All my results with the proper medical terms are in my car so I don't forget them for my appointment haha. I'll update tonight after my appointment and give you the exsact terms.  That's great that your sister thinks I should keep trying, I'm actually feeling somewhat hopeful inspite of the news.  It's a setback but I don't think we're out yet.
