I have PCOD and had 2 miscarriages with IVF's using my own eggs at age 37 and 38. But I have had 2 chemical pregnancies and 2 failed IVF's with donor eggs recently. Could this be because I have PCOD? I'm on metformin. Does PCOD affect implantation success or cause miscarriages even when I'm using donor eggs.

We are doing PGD due to a genetic defect I have that we don't want to pass onto to our children. During the 1st cycle, we had a total of 4 embryos that made it to the blastycyst state. However, the PGD testing fee is a flat $6000 fee for up to 8 embryos to be tested. As a result we did we a 2nd cycle in hopes of obtaining at least 4 more blastocysts. <br /><br />We just received a call from the clinic and out of the 11 eggs that were fertilized in our 2nd cycle, 9 of them have 3 pronuclei!! And 2 are normal with 2 pronuclei. We didn't have any embryos with 3 pronuclei in our first cycle (which was completed about 1 month ago). <br /><br />Do you have any ideas as to what could have happened? Could there have been lab error? The clinic seems to be confused as well and said they are researching to see what happened. Please let me know what your thoughts are and how we should proceed with this situation.<br /><br />Thanks,<br />GwenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4970758006706422699.post-44013553366362793122016-10-01T15:18:39.949+02:002016-10-01T15:18:39.949+02:00Hi Manju.. just read your blog.

I saw that you had asked some questions to a woman who also had recurrent pregnancy loss (above), and was wondering why you asked that and what it might mean? In response to those questions, if it is helpful, I am overweight and my father is diabetic. All of my losses have been before 7 weeks. My thyroid is normal. The RE has run many tests on me, and found that my eggs are good quality and my husband and I do not have chromosomal translocations. I do have the MTHFR defect, though was told that it's debatable whether that actually has any impact. I take methylfolate now. I also was weakly positive for the lupus anticoagulant so they have me on baby asprin. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Can you see how limited IVF success rates are ? I don't think you need any further testing. How many IVF cycles have you gone through ? It's very promising because you get good quality blasts. If I were you , I would just repeat until I find success. If there is a possibility to do CCS , it might throw light in the genetic quality of the embryo. Are your hubby's siblings fertile ?

My husband has severe oligoteratozoospermia (1M/ml) with very low motility and few normal spermatozoids. On my side after a lot of testing no issues have been found. We have transferred so far (by counting IVF and frozen cycles) a total of 6x Blastocysts grade 1, the last 2 had already hatched when transferred. As you mention the sperm is unlikely to be responsible for the failures do you think further testing should be done on me? My AMH and ovarian reserve are very good. My hormone levels are also all good and my lining was good for all transfers. I am hoping to understand the reason for these implantation failures. Many thanksAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4970758006706422699.post-38579647024432105972016-09-14T21:22:53.322+02:002016-09-14T21:22:53.322+02:00Hi Manju,

Fir...I am really sorry for the delay in replying !<br /><br />First , women who go through IVF ( woman of young maternal age , who have good ovarian reserve ) 60 % of the time will find success within 3 full IVF cycles , others need more attempts. This is what scientific data show. Could you see how limited IVF success rates are ? IVF success depends on a lot of variables , and the most well - known and scientifically proven reason is egg quality. The lab conditions and placement of embryo in the proper place also play a pivotal role. Sperms are very rarely responsible for implantation failure. If the embryos become blastocysts and if your husband sperms don't have major genetic defects , sperm cannot be the reason for failure. If I were you , I will just repeat the cycles with donor eggs and with the sperms from my husband until I find success. Hope this helps ! Please have patience , do not do any unnecessary testing , it will work out.Manjuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09465166865789437941noreply@blogger.com
