Ghost and/or ivf nurse

Post by Thechosenone »

ok, i'm onl 26 years old. I've been pregnant 5 times with 5 losses. I have my tubes removed. the only cause of IF on paper. Anyway, the first 3 times were with clomid and BD. two were chemical and one was tubal. the 4th time it was on our own (w/o trying) and that ended in a tubal. the 5th time was with my 2nd IVF cycle...it resulted in a blighted ovum. I have 10 embies frozen, what is the chance that they could result in a blighted ovum? thanks for your help.

I know you are only 26, but an egg quality issue could be a factor. How did the oocytes look at time of retrieval? I think you have a great chance of success, I would recommend transferring 3 though to give you a better chance. Good luck!
I am an infertility nurse and I work in a major IVF facility. I am willing to answer questions and give guidance, however, since I am not treating you, only your physician can give you the most accurate information.

they were good...I had 10 frozen at 6 days...well i believe about 4 were frozen before then. My docs office only freeze what they appear to good quality embryos. Nope, my egg quality is pretty good based off lab results. But i am definitely recommending they transfer 3.

Well, you don't have a problem with implantation, so you are doing very well from that aspect. Two biochemicals and one anembryonic gestation suggest nonviable embryos. You might be a good candidate for PGD/PGS?

IMO, PGD/PGS is a good choice for young high responders who have many apparently good embryo to choose from, but the chosen ones don't make it to live birth. You could have PGD/PGS done on your frozen embryos.

On the other hand, you could just continue with your 10 frosties and see if any make it. PGD/PGS is expensive, after all.

To answer your question, yes, they could become anembryonic gestations and the chance of that occurring is probably increased by your previous anembryonic gestation ("blighted ovum") from the same cohort.
Avoid IVF and surrogacy in Ukraine. Ukrainian centers pay shills to post here under numerous sock accounts pretending to be patients in Ukraine. Centers using such deceptive advertising cannot be trusted and should be avoided.

thanks ghost for the information. I thought about PGD, but as you said it is pretty expensive...I may just have to play it out and see how things are. thanks.
