PGTA - how many transfers did it take for an ongoing pregnancy??

Hi ladies,

it’s been an incredibly long and traumatic journey (with a late loss of a healthy baby) so we decided to do IVF with PGTA. Over three cycles, we managed to get some embryos through testing and I don’t think I plan to do a fourth cycle.

I know there are some people on here who’ve had the PGTA, and I’m hoping you ladies can tell me if it’s been successful and how many transfers it took??

Thank you xx

we did PGT-A testing on 8 embryos in total over two cycles. 2 were “normal” 1 was “abnormal” and 5 were “mosaic”.

We were told it was very unusual to have so many mosaic embryos- normally it’s 10%.

We did two separate FETs with our ‘normal’ embryos - neither implanted.

We decided then, after reading about the high success of mosaics (some almost as high as normal embryos) to move on to them. But equally because I had had failed implantations with two “normal” embryos we decided to lots of tests for implantation failure etc.

in the end my third transfer of my first mosaic embryo worked (alongside an immune protocol and quite a few other changes) and I am 14 weeks.

I have known lots of people for their first or second PGT-normal embryo to work though.

Wishing you lots of luck!

hi lady M. I’m currently 31 weeks pregnant with my 1 normal embryo. I had 6 transfers in total, this was the only pgta tested one after 2 miscarriages with untested. I had 6 embryos tested; 3 abnormal, 1 normal, 2 mosaic. I was 39 at the time. You’re slightly younger than me so hopefully your results would be better. I’m a big advocate of the testing, despite the extra cost and emotional toil. Best of luck in whatever you decide 🍀 xxx

I had 5 transfers with non-tested and all failed to implant.

Our first PGT-A tested transfer worked - but we also added an immune protocol to it so I do think this had a big impact.

Good luck xx

Previous 6 transfers resulted in miscarriage or still birth . We did a new cycle to do pgta and used any frozen embryos from prior cycle as well for testing . I got 5 euploid from 14 . Did two transfers with pgta first one did not implant and second miscarried . I do feel we need to push for immune protocol as my new clinic did not incorporate any in my last pgta double transfer which resulted in spontaneous miscarriage. But I do have one learning which is pgta embryos are precious as the cost involved to test these are equal to doing one full ivf cycle , I feel due to some protocol mishap we can lose embryos unnecessarily . Doing double transfer was a big mistake on my end trusting a new clinic that it may work

Did 5 transfers all PGT A tested. My fifth one worked- however I discovered a uterine septum which was excised prior to the fifth which worked (had two chemical pregnancies before). In my case I do think it was the cause of my failures. Currently 22 weeks pregnant ❤️

Hi there, I had 5 untested embryos over 2 cycles that failed to implant. After that I did another two cycles of embryo banking and PGT-a testing. Tested 9 embryos out of which 4 were euploid. First normal embryo was a chemical pregnancy, while the second one resulted in a baby girl. Best of luck
