Dear Dr. Potter,
My dh and I have just finnished our first attempt using IVF/ICSI/PGD for a girl. I am 26 and he is 30 years old. We have two boys that we conceived normally after 1 and 2 months trying. We did a fresh ET.
We got pregnant, bud sadly we missed it a week atfer BFP
Now we are wondering what could have been different. The results wasnt soo good.
Here it is:
We were on a short protocol, using 225ie menopur for 10 days, cetrotide for 2 days and then ovitrelle. After ER I startet on 800 Utrogestan a day.
The total number of eggs were 25, and 24 were mature. 21 fertilized.
Day 1: 20x2PN, 3x0/1, 2xdeg
Day 2: 4x4, 8x3, 6x2, 2xo
Day 3: 2x8, 2x6, 1x5, 6x4, 8x3, 2x2
Day 5: Normal genetic 1xHB (boy), 1xEB (boy), 1xCM (girl)
Only 6 was good enough for PGD, and out of them only 3 came out normal. We transferred the Compact Morula girl, and got pregnant. As told I lost it 1 weak after BFP. We are soo devastated.
What could have been different? Before starting stimming, I didnt take any pretests exept from bloodtests, and two ultrascans when using menopur.
Could there be something wrong with me? Something I should test for?
The doctor told me that if this didnt work we could try self correction(?). Because the embryos could have been normal even do they came out abnormal. We have freezed dowm my dh sperm, so I can travel down alone first for ER, and then they take cells from the embryos on day 5, freeze them and I come back only if there is a normal girl. This seemes as a pretty good solution, but what are the chances here? I guess this is called aCGH? Do the embryos have do be at the blastocyst stage at day 5? I have heard that the girl are a bit slower growing?
I really hope to get some tips from you!
(The second paccage of Menopur was 6 month old. BB February 2013. I didnt notice before I had used it for 3-4 days). Do you think that this have cause the poor embryo quality?
Thank you :)
