I've been looking for others who are dealing with chromosome issues too. After my m/c's I found an RE who did every possib test appropriate for us. Everything checked out fine except karyotype testing revealed that my husb is a carrier of a chrom. inversion. So then they sent me to see a genetic counselor to explain it to me (didn't help much). After some consuls, we decided to do PGD/IVF. So i'll be starting the process at the end of Nov. Oh, and like you, my body doesn't absorb folic acid well, so I'm taking megadoses of it via prescription.
What I can't figure out from anybody is what our risk factor of m/c's are when TTC naturally vs PGD assistance. What's the percentage? I think I could have been one of those women who suffered through 5-6-7 m/c's and not have known why, but at least i know why now, and I don't think it's too late.
Good luck to you.

I have a deficency of Folic acid, and I have a blood disorder that makes my blood clot to fast so I will have to be on blood thinners, and folic acid, projesterone and prenatal vit. as well as baby asprin just to stay pregnant and still there is no 100%. The blood disorder I have can cause a loss in teh 2nd or 3rd trimester. But I have not given up as yet. We have one and I mean only ONE more try! We have also started the process of adoption. I have the money set aside for one IVF with PGD or one adoption. I do not care where the baby comes from, I just want it to hurry up and get here Ya know????!!!!!
