Anyone do karyotype testing?

Anyone do karyotype testing?If so, how long did it take for results to come back? My doc said a couple of weeks...not sure what that means. Also, any advice for when I get results back...questions to ask or things to look for? Should I request they send me the report? I assume my doc will just say if it's normal or not...like everything else. But I'm worried that they may over look something. I've had two failed IVFs and one failed FET ( one cp and one blighted ovum).  Thanks for the help in advance.

    Both my DH and I did.  Surprisingly, the results were back within two weeks.  Our results were normal, so I did not have any questions, to ask, really.  Had something come back abnormal, or indicative of a problem, I would've had a st down meeting with my RE to fully discuss the results.  

    Good luck.

    It's been a long journey. TTC since 9/06. multiple IUI's and IVF's and 4 m/c's. IVF#3 = BFP, twins, induced at 34w6d due to baby b passing away (no explanation). Delivered on 35w1d, Baby A - baby girl, and Baby B - baby boy, our little angel.

    We did it too.  I had mine years ago, but DH had his last year after my second m/c.  It took less than 2 weeks to get the results back.

    We did this as well after our late first tri loss last year.  It came back normal for me, but revealed my DH has a balanced translocation.  This was a diagnosis that forever changed our fertility journey. 

    Best of luck to you!  Hope all is completely normal!!

    Me & DH did karyotypes last august after our twin m/c. It took 10-14 days for results. We were normal 46,xx & 46,xy, so we had no further questions. If you get an abnormal result, my guess is that you meet with a genetic counselor. We paid about $550 each for the test also.

    I think ours took a couple of weeks (3 maybe).

    After 1 IUI, 3 IVF's with CGH/CCS testing, 10 early miscarriages, and lots of tears and frustration, we are moving on to Domestic Infant Adoption!  We are so excited to see what the future holds.
