karyotyping/chromosome testing and PGD w/ IVF

cheekyali

Hi ladies- I posted this on the SAL board and someone suggested I post over here:

I was wondering if any of you had karyotyping on yourself and DH after a m/c. I had a m/c and testing of fetus showed a trosomy 16. Even though it is random our RE wants us to have karyotyping to determine if we have a chromosome abnormality we could pass on, and if we do, we should do PGD with IVF. Anyone have this done?

I had the karyotype done about 2 years ago, (not related to M/C) with our 1st RE right before we got pregnant with Ava. They did mine b/c I had late-onset menses, I was 17 at the time. My results were normal.

I guess since the Tri16 was random, and not b/c of you guys, that I wouldn't insist on it, but if insurance covers it, or you have means to financially handle the test(s) then why not learn all you can???!! Sometimes I think REs like to run every test under the sun, though. I wouldn't worry so much about the IVF/PDG thing until you have the facts to deal with, though. That can be pretty scary, and you're not even at that fork in the road, yet.

My dh and I both had it done when we started seeing our RE.  Our insurance covered it, so we figured we might as well find out.  Both of our tests came back fine.

I am so sorry for your loss. 

After out last m/c we had the karyotyping done on both DH & I (as well as RPL panel).  Our tests results all came back normal.

Best of luck to you.

Our 2nd m/c we had testing on the baby and us done.  The baby had Triploidy and we found that our genes were normal.  We had 4 failed iui's and moved on to ivf where we got our sticky bfp finally.  My DH also has slightly low motility and morph, count was always decent.
