Is PGD a good idea

I just had a mc this year because the baby had Turner's Syndrome. Recently I found out I have high FSH. I just don't understand trying to get pg again or IUI if it is just going to be another mc. What are my chances of another mc if I get pg without PGD?

My stats are below.

hi -- preg. ment.

I'm very sorry about your loss, and your diagnosis. There's really no good answer to your question. You might miscarry again, you may find that golden egg. All of us went different routes. If you go back to March of this year, a number of us posted our histories. You will see that some of us went through 4-8 miscarriages. The good news is that a lot of us are pregnant now. Most of them are pregnant naturally (Willa, AnnT, AJ, Karlas). I am pregnant after 4 m/c, with IVF with PGD. I believe I probably would have gotten pregnant eventually, but didn't want to deal with the m/c, and the wasted time, especially given the high FSH diagnosis. Best of luck to you.

You have to make that decision your self. I had 7 losses. I did IVF w/ PGD and still m/c all 3times. Then I got preg naturally and I'm currently 34wks. I believe high dose meds damages your eggs. I strongly believe in low stim protocol, mature the eggs slowly and they seem to have the best results. Not a lot of drs believe this, most drs give high stim and try to get as many eggs as they can. I don't believe that is the answer for woman in there late 30's and early 40's. If you look at the time line on over 40 board you will see most woman got preg naturally. So what I'm trying to saw is you may want to try naturally for a couple of months to heal from last m/c. And PGD is not 100% proof evrything is going to be alright.

Take care of yourself and let yourself heal for your m/c before you try again.

AnnT.

Hello Mel

Yes, AnnT and Sleo have all given you very good advice. I think it is a personal decision. For me, I decided to just keep trying naturally. I had 6 m/c and am now 21 weeks on the 7th pg.

The m/c were very hard, and sometimes I just felt hopeless and angry. But having a successful BFP has made all of the m/c I went through less painful. It was not in vain. The RE told me if I can stomach the m/c, I will have a healthy baby. Statistically speaking it is in your favor that the baby that sticks will be perfectly healthy.

I am not saying you should do what I did, I am just trying to say that yes, it is very hard, but I feel like it was all worth it, and not as painful to look back anymore. You have to decide what will work best for you and find your own path. I just wanted to tell you how things have worked for me emotionally.

I am so sorry you have to be here on this forum, and I hope that the next pg will work out great and all of this will be for nothing, as it should be.
