I am convinced that percentages mean nothing – don’t let them be your deciding factor.

We were only given 20% chance of getting pregnant through IVF. But, we felt we had to try anyway. We got pregnant. The board is full of inspiring stories against low odds.

Maybe it's time to try a new doctor with a different protocol? They may see or try something that your current doctor is not.

CGH is the technique used to test them.... complete genome hybridization I think. The look at the DNA on each chromosome to see if it correct of if there are problems.


Facilities that do this type of testing for the general public include CCRM (in Denver) and Sirm (many locations).
