Hi All, I am 42 and just did my 3rd round of IVF, first round was in spain 5 years ago after i had miscarried the year before a natural pregnancy at 3 months. Nothing was happening for over a year so did IVF, got 3 blastocyst out of 28 eggs, pgs tested , 1 normal, but no pregnancy. Been trying since timed sex with stims etc nothing. Did IVF last year had 1 blasto out of 23 eggs, got pregnant December gone, miscarried in january, changed all the diet etc, upped the gym, more smoothies, supplements etc, and did another round of ivf with ICSI on March 6th just gone, got 5 blastos day 5 and 1 day 6 blasto, they told me to send for testing, to get the devastating news, they were all abnormal :( , I am sorry now i sent them for testing was convinced i would have 1 normal at least. I am starting another round straight away, so would appreciate your advice, if i got 6 again, i was thinking of doing a fresh transfer with 2 of the best grade ones, and then send the rest for testing, like as a back up, in the hope i will get some normal or one, as we have really changed our lifestyles, and it shows to get 1 embryo a year ago and then 6 this year, the supplements definitely helped and the food etc. Any advice from anybody would be much appreciated, they are destroying those 6 embryos now, and i am kind of raging, as i see so much negativity now on pgs testing. Thank you

Very sorry to hear - can definitely empathise.
My understanding is that at the age of 42, 80% of eggs are abnormal (and in general 20% of sperm are abnormal). I would imagine this is likely to be a big factor. In a way, the pgt-a prevents the heartache and expense of implanting abnormal (aneuploid) embryos - which are highly unlikely to result in a successful pregnancy xxx
