Hi All,

Just curious if anyone has tried PGD with IVF and would be willing to share your experiences?

    I did PGD with my 2nd fresh cycle (DD is an FET from cycle #1) due to my recurrent mc's and no diagnosis for my IF issues. It really didn't tell us anything, in fact my eggs were above average for a 35yo. We opted not to do it for IVF #3 because there was nothing earth shattering with the cycle we tried it with and both the fresh cycle and frozen cycle with the PGD'd eggs were a bust. I do not regret doing it because it allowed us to cross one more thing off the list of possible IF issues.

    That being said, I have a friend who finally did PGD with her 3rd IVF (all had been unsuccessful before then) and PGD revealed that out of all eggs fertilized only one was viable, it was transfered and that is her DS. She has poor quality eggs, therefore this was a great option for her.

    I'm not sure if this helps, but feel free to PM me if you have any more questions.

    we did it with our ivf cycle after 5 losses that were all different causes and some undetermined. Of our 11 embies...10 were "normal".    One is DS and the rest have not worked out yet. My dr. said yesterday for my follow=up that our two cp are likely poor quality. I didn't understand that since we did pgd..but 5 years ago they only could test 5 chromo..now they can test all of them. For us, it's not worth repeating the test (cost 4K oop), we are trying our last two this month.

    Good luck...let me know if that helps.
