I am 29 and DH and I attempted our first IVF in July. DH has a balanced translocation so we decided to do ivf with pgd because we had 2 m/c over 2 years. I only produced 10 eggs, 9 mature, 7 fertilized. Only 3 made it to day 3 for the pgd and they all arrested after that. The pgd revealed numerous chromosome abnormalities - they checked 10 chromosomes and never did the test for the translocation because of how abnormal the embies were. There were many trisomies and many chromosomes with only 1 copy. The dr said my eggs are bad and that he does not recommend another cycle, he thinks we should do donor eggs. All of my blood work has been normal - normal fsh, normal karyotype - everything is normal. I've read other people try different protocals because of "bad eggs." Is that something we should consider before going to donor eggs or is what they consider bad eggs different than what I apparently have? My protocal was bc pills for 5 weeks, gonal f, ganirelix and ovidrel. Any information would be greatly appreciated!

I have seen patients go from useless cohorts to great cohorts the next cycle. Not sure why that is, but we usually try to take credit for some subtle or major change in the protocol. Maybe, or maybe the quality is just random in some patients.
But yours is pretty extreme and seems close to justifying donor eggs. If it happens a second time with a different protocol, that would cinch it in my mind.
I'm sorry that is not a clear answer. I suppose if I was you, and having my genetic/biological child was important, then maybe I would try once more with another protocol. Otherwise, I'd go to donor now as the doctor recommended.

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.
