I had 10 eggs retrieved and 8 fertilize only 2 PDG which is what they transfered. Now I am waiting!!!!!!
I've never done IVF but I wanted to congratulate you and wish you luck.
Congratulations!! I have been thinking about you.
Having 21 eggs - WOWO!!! Have you had a lot in the past?
I seem pretty consistent at 7, every time.
I posted an IVF check-in forum this morning; I have been so bad at keeping up.
PGD is "preimplantation genetic diagnosis"
Because of my age 38 will be 39 in January, and my multiple miscarriages, and I am a carrier of cystic fibrosis and a carry of Fragile X (mental retardation) that is why I had PGD done.
PGD is a genetic test that they do on the embrie on day 3 to make sure it has all the correct genetics.
If you do a google search you will get a lot of information about it.
Out of my 14 eggs that fertalized, only 3 eggs passed the PGD testing!!! So, I'm very glad that I did it!
Hope this helps
What is PGD testing??? I don't think our RE has this... OH, and why do they do this??? Is it b/c you have had problems before??? This is our third IVF so don't you think thye should do this??? THanks for your stories!! good luck to you girls!!!
WooHoo!!
ER we got 24 eggs
14 fertalized
PGD testing...
3 made it to transfer
I'm pregnant with twins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congratulations and how very exciting.
My experience in IVF was this. On the day of ER, they retrieved 9 eggs. 8 fertilized. We did PGD testing, so by the time the ET took place, only 3 had made it through the PGD testing. The transplanted 2 blasts, but now, I am 11 weeks along with one healthy baby boy.
Good luck to you, and, again, CONGRATULATIONS!!!
