Blighted ovum after genetic testing

[Mjashley3]

How is it possible to suffer a blighted ovum having had genetic testing completed before selecting the Embryo for transfer? That's what happened to us recently and we are somewhat confused as everything we read about blighted ovum comes back to the explanation being a genetic problem with the embryo!!

I don't think genetic testing promises a perfect embryo.  A lot of the time, early miscarriage is caused by something not connecting of the million things that must connect, and when that thing is needed in the development of the embryo, it is not there and the pregnancy faces.  I would bet they cannot test for everything that might not go right when sperm meets egg.  My guess would be that they test only for certain things.  Definitely talk to your doctor, of course.

HI,
It is indeed problems with the embryo and the early conception that causes a blighted ovum. Also maternal conditions like infections or systemic diseases like diabetes in the mother can cause such a condition. Consult a Doctor for an evaluation. Hope this helps.
