Forum: Genetic Issues

Hi, this is my first ever post. I'm looking for hope because I'm feeling so alone. DH has a balanced translocation and our first IVF with ICSI failed. We didn't even have enough embryos to send off for PGD. RE recommended just transferring the 2 that were still growing by Day 3, but no luck. ...

My lab does not do day 5 PGD. They said the only way I could have it done is to have an embryologist come to the lab to do it. I know that Reprogenetics can do this. Does anyone know of any other companies or how much it might cost?

We're carriers of a single-gene (recessive) disorder and are looking at doing IVF with PGD or PGS. Does anyone know what the best labs are for PGD/PGS? Would Reprogenetics, Genesis Genetics and RGI in Chicago be on that list? Are there others we should look at? Our insurance (BCBS) covers PGD in...

Hi: I was wondering if anyone had ever done any genetic testing at cornell? i don't live near by but heard they do this well. would be interested in hearing about anyone's experiences there. thanks!

Here is my story. I just had an D&C after blighted ovum. My RE told me to have genetic test after D&C. The test showed that is was a baby girl with Trisomy 18 and that's the reason the baby stopped developing. I had another blighted ovum 6 month ago. But we didn't make genetic test. My RE was...

Hi ALL, maybe you can help me, My new RE is suggesting a karyotype on my husband who has a perfectly normal (and usually quite high- 100 mil) sperm count!? I am confused. Wouldn't they want to look at me???? ___________________________________________________________ Me- AGE 32; I have...

I hope this is the correct place as I am a newbie and not quite sure. Hubby and I had our son 12 years ago followed by years of losses and then our daughter and then 2 more losses. I found out before having my daughter I have MTHFR (cmpd hetero) and Factor V (hetero). Hubs has FVL as well (and...

Where on this earth can I buy 4mg of folate? I have only found 8mcg as the highest dosage. Is that as high as they make it? I am supposed to take 4mg daily. If I have to take 8mcg pills, is it best to space them out through the day or take them all at once? Thanks!

I have recently been diagnosed with being a Fragile x pre-mutation carrier, my repeat size is 58. i have a very low AMH of 0.7 and am starting IVF in the next two months. I have been warned of the 30% chance of POI/POF that comes with being a carrier and am aware that this could happen to me. Has...

Hi, I've just been diagnosed this past month. After two miscarriages one at 17 weeks and one at 12 weeks. I asked my OB if he would order the test for MTHFR. Thankfully he agreed. When I tested positive, he referred me to a peri. The nurse gave me my test results mentioned...

I was diagnosed with improper metabolization of folate and with I guess it's MTHFR (small blood clots, having to take baby aspirin), three and a half weeks ago. We had one IVF cycle which started this time last year. I responded well to the stims. We ended up with ten out of twenty being...

Im scheduled for an FET in a few days. Ive had two m/c one after a natural pg and one after a PGD. I have a genetic issue My dr wants to put me on steroids during my first trimester. He thinks it will create the most optimal environment for the embryos. Weve only had one ivf cycle. I was...

I'm 36 and was lucky enough to have a child without any fertility in 2008. Since then I've had multiple miscarriages and found out i have a balanced translocation. I've completed 3 cycles of IVF (follistim/gannilrelix/menopur) with PGD and haven't gotten any good eggs yet to make it to transfer....

Is there anyone on here with the above mutations who had trouble conceiving, not just carrying to term? I see that Dr. Beer believes that MTHFR can prevent implantation, but that's not accepted by mainstream scientists. I was just wondering if anyone else has found that to be the case with them --...

Hi, This is my first time posting. I'm a 29 yr old female and have been trying to conceive for 1 and a half yrs with 2 failed pregnancies. Just found out that I have an inversion on chromosome 11 :(....I don't know what to do? I don't even know where to start my research on IVF with PGD...please...

After recently being diagnosed with a c677t disorder, I am anxious to hear your MTHFR success stories.

Ladies, I have a single gene disorder and will need PGD to ensure it is not passed along. Has anyone used Genesis Genetics for PGD - most clinics in my area use this lab? What about Reprogenetics? I would love to hear your experiences.. Thanks!

Hi Ladies, I am trying to find out some additional info on MTHFR. I just found out that I tested positive for it. My RE did not tell me what mutation I tested positive for only that I have a +MTHFR and it is in the presence of normal Homocysteine levels and all clotting levels, proteins, etc...

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows what the odds of having a m/c with a cgh 'normal' tested embryo are? I have had multiple m/c but recently did ivf with cgh testing and got 3 normals. I transfered one and got bfp but am very nervous of another m/c. I know there is a 5-10% chance of mocaisism...
