Cause it seems like such good times Confused

Results came in from loss #3 - Tri 8. Second loss was Tri 16 and first loss testing they now think tested my DNA vs. the baby.

Testing does not show DH or I as predisposed to genetic problems but since there appears to be a trend, docs are recommending we consider PGD IVF.

For the last two years my method of survival has been to only deal with what I HAVE to and block out the negative 'what ifs'... up until now that included IVF so I now must admit my shamefully low IVF IQ.

Brace yourselves ladies. In the next month or expect quite a few questions (I shall attempt to IF board lurk and blog-stalk as much as possible to avoid the overly dumb ones but make no promises).

I know it's a tough decision.. but once you get in the middle of it everything goes so fast and they walk you through the steps. Ask as many questions as you want! We are here for you!!!!

Thanks.

And apparently yay(?) about the follie size (like I said, for someone who's been at this for 2 years now I'm still painfully ignorant)!!!

Hey there. I know nothing about IVF, but I wanted to share this article with you: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1235536/. I have a bit of a fascination with genetics - it's what I wanted to do before organic chemistry smacked me back into reality - so I thought I'd see if there's anything helpful out there for you.

So sorry that it's come down to doing something you didn't think was in the realm of possibility. I hope that the PGD IVF will give you & your DH the healthy baby you so deserve.

Oy! I had to look up just about every other word in that article!! But thank you. Once I figured out what everything meant it was extremely helpful.

Sorry to hear you'll be joining the club. After we got the "you should really do IVF" we went home and did lots of googling and reading and came up with lots of questions and went back and gave the RE the third degree about EVERYTHING. I highly recommend this approach. It makes the pill slightly easier to swallow when you actually hear long, informative explanations of the hows and whys.

I know very little about it and you already know there are some great ladies here who can help. GL hon!

Good luck to you! {hugs}

DH and I will have to do PGD IVF for any future pregnancies (due to CF), so I know a little about it - but I'd really like to follow you as you go through this (if that's ok - I have a ton of questions too!). I really hope this is the solution for you!!

Jamie -

Stalk away. I suck and will never have a blog, but am a total PW so you'll def. be able to follow my progress.

PS - please reply often to my posts... not just for valuable input but because the lovely Miss Bacon Bits always makes me smile... so dignified!

I'm sorry about the test results. And for all the new things you'll have to go through. I wish it were easier.

Hang in there, and we'll be here as you begin to sort it all out!

((hugs)) ask any questions you have. I wish I was on the boards when I did ivf #1 I googled a bunch of things and it freaked me out a little.

Oops, I should have told you to jump to the conclusion part! I have to do that before I can understand the body of any study.
