Hi all, hope you're all ok, brief history - TTC since Jan 2017, 3x natural miscarriages, 1x TFMR at 16 weeks following 1st ICSI transfer, endometriosis and morphology issues.
Have 2x embryos frozen (1 good, 1 not so good and likely wouldn't survive testing). Clinic suggest doing another fresh round but with PGS testing this time. However, neither the post mortem at 16 weeks nor the testing of our previous miscarriage revealed any chromosome problems (I.e. they were essentially 'normal', no Downs etc.) so I'm wondering what the benefits of PGS testing would actually be? Plus it's just been downgraded to red by HFEA which does concern me a bit. As an aside, the TFMR was because of a major lower abdominal defect, probably caused by a random misfiring DNA, which we've been told is incredibly unlikely to happen again...
Anyway, we are continuing to focus on egg and sperm quality with lots of supplements, no excess caffeine and zero alcohol, and I'll be taking high dose folic acid this time, but I'm just thinking we might be better off going in for the FET of our remaining embryos rather than completing a whole new fresh cycle - I'm struggling to see what we would gain from PGS, other than I guess ruling out another miscarriage from a chromosome/ genetic issue. The PGS won't be able to identify any defects, as in our last pregnancy.
I'm just so tired of it all, and I understand my consultant in that she would really like to avoid more miscarriages, but to my mind that's never a guarantee, and we could potentially save ourselves a lot of money..
Argh, I just really don't know, can't really talk to anyone IRL, so would be massively grateful for anyone's thoughts/experiences.
Hoping 2020 is your year! Because 2019 can quite literally fuck off...
Thank you xx
