Hello everyone. I am Kim. We recently had our 2nd loss and now have opened up the option of IVF specifically, Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis- PGD.
I have a skin condition that is chromosome based. Basically, I have a 25% chance of having a healthy boy and a 50% chance of having a healthy boy. The syndrome I have is called Boch Sulzberger Syndrome. I was born with it and have lived a very wonderful life with lots of complications throughout the way. We had a miscarriage in 2010 June with a boy with the bad chromosome. And just a few days ago, it had happened again with another little boy.
My dr suggested to look into the PGD testing. So that is our next step.
IVF #1, Stimmed for 12 days, ER 8/22/14, 9 retrieved, 7M, 7F!! Freeze all due to fluid in uterus.
FET end of October 2014 cancelled due to fluid in uterus due to possible c-scar defect
Surgery scheduled 12/12/14 to fix possible isthmocele
3/26/15 transferred one 8 cell grade 4 embryo and one 6 cell grade 3 embryo = slow rising betas for 2+ weeks = ectopic MTX shot 4/29/15
Repeat c-scar surgery June 2015
2nd and last IVF cycle August 2015, stimmed for 12 days, 2 egg retrieved, both mature and both fertilized. Transferred both 8-cell embryos on Day 3, beta 9/5/15 = BFFN
Welcome! I am so sorry for your loss. We are doing IVF with PGD testing as well and are going into round two of it. I hope it is just what you need to get your healthy little one
with bloch sulzberger being a x-linked genetic disease it is tragic both your pregnancies were with little boys. is your husband a carrier too? i think genetic testing and PGS/PGD is definitely the best plan for you guys. GL and welcome.

Welcome! I am sorry for your losses. I would think it is a good idea to do the genetic testing with IVF-- it sounds like your doctor has a good plan for your situation. Best of luck!
