Curious, how often have women succeeded with one attempt for IVF/PGD? Just curious...it seems more often than not it takes a couple attempts.
I have a +OPK today, and so would like to just go for it, but I stopped diet and supplements a little over a week ago :( But tempted since tomorrow morning we would try and New Moon is tomorrow! Plus DH has abstained for over 5 days...
But then I could just hold out and wait till the summer when we plan on trying the IVF route...
Just a guess but 50%. 100% guarantee when it does work though!
My first cycle in '09 for IVF/PDG worked, though ended in m/c at 12 weeks. I'd had 4 healthy babes prior to this so we calculated it to being a struggling embie rather than my body function (though I was under a TON of stress at the time)
We're on cycle #2 (no more stress job) and our results were better for my boys than last time, I won't know results until the 29th however.
GL with yours, it's a rollercoaster!!!
Itīs a 40 % sucessrate every time, so if you do three cykles the chans of pregnancy is over 80%...
I am 6 weeks pregnant on the first try of PGD/IVF though :-)
Why is the success rate so low? 40% is scary especially when there is such a massive financial investment involved for each try. I can only afford one chance! Can you get a good estimate whether you'll be a successful OHW candidate for IVF/PGD from the results of your pre-testing or is it down to luck on the day?
Pretesting does help, but even with fab numbers and good natural fertility, still doesn't guarantee a OHW. Its an unnatural process and some bodies don't do as well as others etc.. I would think its something like 30-40%.
Sorry the rate is not higher.
Yes you are right Jils i am one of them. I had great pre test unfortunately not a OHW.......I'm going back in April for my second attempt.....
When I read on the different clinics homepages, age seems to be the number one factor to sucsess. Not much you can do about that though...
Congrats to all of you and good luck to those still on the journey. Can I ask what does OHW mean? So many code I'm confussed! Also any tips on how to say you like a thread? I'm new to this .....can you tell?
OHW: one hit wonder
BFP: big fat positive
BFN: big fat negative
