I'm in a dilemma. We tfmr earlier in the year after a 11mm nuchal - t21.
We are now pregnant again - 8 weeks after array cgh ivf.
Array cgh is a technique where one cell is taken from a day 3 embryo and the chromosomes checked. The blastocyst we had transferred came back normal.
Array cgh like any other test has a chance of being wrong due to mosaicism. The chance of being told a normal embryo is abnormal is much higher than the chance of being told an abnormal one is normal.
We are under fetal medicine as we have had a previous abnormal pg. At the moment we have had one scan where we saw the heartbeat and we have another next week. Our consultant knows it is an ivf pg but we haven't discussed the array cgh thing yet.
We will be having the nuchal scan at 11 weeks and are obviously hoping for a low risk result.
Just can't decide what to do about cvs. We are likely to be offered it after last time but I don't want to risk mc. What to do? I don't know if the array cgh can be taken into account when calculating the risks. Also if the nuchal is raised there may well be a problem, just not a chromosomal problem.
I'm all mixed up- any thoughts?
