Hi All

I know a number of you here have sadly suffered multiple devestating m/c's. I have been doing some research into PGD/IVF -Pre '
Genetic Determination.

I had an appointment last week and the dr. showed me a case study of a lady similar to myself born 1976 and had 4 m/c's, she then went through
PGD with 7 day probe, which picks out embryos that can miscarry. Out of 15 embies (a hugely healthy number to have fertilized) she only had one normal embroy!!! i nearly cried as i reaslised that she would have just kept miscarriying all those embroyos without
PGD. Happy ending though that one embryo did go on to implant and become a baby, so amazing

I am fortunate to have 2 dc's but I'm seriously considering this to have another child. I just want to lower my chance of m/c as much as possible.

I hope this also helps some of you
