IVF Pregnancy

[jules2900]

Hi. My daughter has endured 6 miscarriages & 1 failed IVF.  She & her husband are 17 weeks pregnant now with their second IVF.  What are her chances at this stage of her pregnancy to full term?

I wanted to thank you for your comment in regards to the information you gave me.  Funny how my daughter and you are 18 weeks pregnant.  I appreciate you sharing as I get no information from my daughter.  It is like a silent pregnancy.  I can't even imagine what she is going through.  She has endured major surgery, 5 miscarriages & 1 failed IVF.  I'm praying for a miracle because that is what it's going to take.  Once again thanks for everything!

Thanks for your great feedback Stacey....also for your words of encouragement.  All I know is that this is going to be a long pregnancy.  She is 18 weeks & 2 days as of today.  She still has this fear of miscarrying & will not talk to me about this pregnancy.  Is this normal?  Thanks Again!

My fertility dr told me that once I made it to 12 weeks my chances of having another miscarriage were about 1-2% and every week I made it past that the chances went down even more. I'm 18 weeks today so she and I are pretty close :)

If she has made it to 17 weeks then her chances are very good, when she has her next scan they will do an indepth look at all bubs internal organs to see if everything has formed as it should, this is when they pick up any defects ie, holes in heart etc, they will also check limbs, the placent a nd cord, once she gets the all clear from this her chances are even greater, I'm sure all will be fine :)
