Within the last year and a half, I've had four failed pregnancies in week 12 due to a chromosomal abnormality that I carry and pass on in imbalance.
However, in October we went along with PGD (preimplantation genetic diagnosis). It's very much the same treatment as IVF, except that once the eggs are fertilized, the specialists look at the chromosomes to sort out the healthy eggs. Of the 15 eggs that were taken out, only one was fit for use - and that was all it took! I'm now almost 8 weeks pregnant, and yesterday's ultrasound revealed a healthy-looking foetus with a sound heart-beat.
I've never heard of anyone who has been successful with PGD before, so I just wanted to share this wonderful news with you. I know I'm not all the way yet - a lot can still happen - but I allow myself to think positive this time:-).
I send lots of babydust to all of you out there struggling to get a baby. Good luck to all:-)

God Loves you , and So Do I, The Greatest of these is Love I am sorry dear sister , you are facing a lot of different people with different values here, and some kids who like to prank. I get thumbs downs more than I get thumbs up , but that does not bother me. Many people will give you best answers but perservere. At First I did answer question and didnt get any best answers for a long time and then I got a slew. I dont know why, but thats life. TO YOUR YOUR SELF BE TRUE AND REMEMBER. WE ALL LOVE YOU AND ARE ONE IN CHRIST.
