After two failed IVF cycles and a diagnosis of unexplained infertility, a new doctor recommended laparoscopy—revealing stage II endometriosis and tubal adhesions. Following surgery, this anonymous patient conceived naturally at age 36 and is now 8 weeks pregnant.
This patient went through six IVF cycles with multiple failed transfers and years of unexplained infertility. A final low-stimulation cycle and one day 3 embryo finally led to pregnancy and a baby girl.
A new case report describes the healthy birth of dizygotic twin girls from embryos labeled as aneuploid by PGT-A, highlighting the limitations of embryo testing and the need to reconsider strict discard protocols.
Even when embryos are euploid and pass PGT-A, miscarriage can still happen. A new 2025 study suggests that genetic mutations too small to be seen by standard PGT-A may explain some of these losses.
A 2025 study shows that segmental abnormalities detected by PGT-A in the trophectoderm don’t always match the ICM, suggesting that these embryos may still be viable for transfer.
A low-grade 5CB euploid embryo led to a healthy pregnancy and much-wanted baby, following diminished ovarian reserve, three IVF cycles, and three early losses.
After a failed cycle with an aneuploid embryo and a history of endometriosis and tubal removal, a 4CC euploid embryo led to the birth of a healthy baby girl.
After four retrievals where nearly all embryos arrested before blastocyst, a single 3AB embryo finally led to a healthy 17-week pregnancy at age 42. Cancer and male factor infertility added further complexity to this success.
Immune therapy and steroid support helped a patient with PCOS conceive after 5 failed transfers—including an ectopic pregnancy. She’s now expecting her baby girl.
After two failed IVF cycles and five aneuploid/mosaic embryos, a 36-year-old patient with unexplained infertility became pregnant from a PGT-A normal 5AA embryo following a protocol change that included Lupron flare, HGH, and PICSI.
A double day 3 embryo transfer brought success for a patient with PCOS—after 7 IVF cycles and repeated setbacks, one embryo implanted and became her healthy son.
After multiple losses, failed FETs, and a poor ovarian response, a patient with blocked tubes and immune issues became pregnant after starting Lovenox for antiphospholipid antibodies and transferring a fresh 5BB embryo. She’s now 12.5 weeks pregnant with normal NIPT results.
After two years of unexplained infertility and a retrieval that produced only day 6 and day 7 embryos, a 30-year-old patient delivered a healthy baby from a day 7, 6AA, PGT-A tested blast, despite early doubts from clinics.
A 28-year-old patient conceived healthy boy–girl twins from a transfer that unknowingly included a day 7 untested embryo—following an initial failed attempt.
After years of struggling with endometriosis and diminished ovarian reserve, a 34-year-old patient conceived from a day 3 transfer using one of just two fertilized eggs. Her daughter was born healthy.
After 4 failed IUIs, a D&C, and polyp removal, this 41-year-old patient with PCOS conceived through IVF using a day 3 untested embryo, and delivered a healthy baby boy just before turning 42.
After seven egg retrieval cycles and multiple failed transfers, a 42-year-old patient decided to skip PGT-A and became pregnant with two untested frozen day 5 embryos.
After eight years of unexplained infertility and two embryo transfers, this patient became pregnant with twins from mosaic embryos carrying a rare inherited genetic variant.
After three retrievals and repeated embryo fragmentation by Day 2, a single poor quality blastocyst developed and led to the birth of a healthy baby boy.
After four retrievals and several failed transfers, a frozen 4BC embryo that didn’t fully re-expand after thawing led to a healthy 21-week pregnancy and normal NIPT and anatomy scan results.
A new study showed that day 7 embryos may develop more slowly because of stress and disrupted signaling in the inner cell mass, which might help explain their lower success rates.
A 2025 meta-analysis found that while 1PN zygotes don’t convert to blastocyst as well and have lower success rates when untested, those confirmed as euploid can lead to healthy births, but extra care is needed to confirm they are truly normal.
