Dr. Smith,
I'm 40, DH 49, dx unexplained infertility,hx of hypothyroidism and minimal to absent periods. IUIs showed thin endometrium. I'm also positive for sperm antibodies. IVF#1 Yesterday was ET of 3 healthy blasts. One was Grade A (boy) and 2 were grade B (1 grade b was early blast - boy, the other a girl). I had 9 eggs, 8 mature and fertilized. Of those 8 after pgd, 3 were healthy but 5 had problems (even though 3 of the 5 "looked" really good). I was told that of those who were abnormal 1 had trisomy 21, tetrasomy 18, and monosomy 22. 1 had trisomy 13. 1 had trisomy 16. 1 had monosomy 16 and 18. What does this tell you about 1) my chances for healthy pregnancy 2) my health...i.e. if this doesn't succeed should we try again. 3) It seems there is clustering of problems with chromosomes 16 and 18...does this tell you anything?
You've responded to other questions before. Thanks you for your willingness to help allay anxiety!!
