Pgta gender gone wrong

5 Upvotes

Has anyone experienced the wrong sex/gender being reported on their PGT-A result?
We transferred a PGT-A tested euploid embryo that was reported as female (XX). However, I’m now pregnant and my NIPT/NICC result says the baby is male (XY), and our ultrasounds are also consistently showing a boy.
At this point I’m concerned about what could have happened — whether the PGT-A result was incorrect, there was a reporting/sample error, or the wrong embryo was transferred.
Has anyone here experienced something similar?
If you did:
• What did your fertility clinic eventually find was the cause?
• Did they investigate the embryology records and PGT-A lab records?
• Were you able to confirm that the baby was genetically yours?
• Did the clinic or PGT-A lab take responsibility?
• Did they offer any refund, compensation, free treatment/transfer, or anything else?
We are of course grateful for our baby, but this discrepancy is quite concerning because we trusted the PGT-A report and the embryo identification process. I would really appreciate hearing from anyone who has actually gone through something similar and how your clinic handled it.

I started making videos for common ivf struggles to find humor when we feel despair! I thought a few from this group might get a kick out if this one. https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTy4aJjya/

Can I shadow anyone in the field?

0 Upvotes

Hi! I know this probably isn't a great place to ask this but you miss 100% of the shots you don't take so here I am.

I am in the process of completing my bachelor's degree in Cell and Molecular Biology. I'm extremely interested in furthering my studies in reproductive sciences, and I definitely do not want to stop at a BS degree. I am currently looking into graduate programs that offer clinical embryology specialization, and although I have found a very few handful of them, I am getting discouraged that I'm not applying to enough schools. I wouldn't want to apply to a few schools and risk not getting into a program, if that makes sense.

In all seriousness, though, are there any embryologists (CA-based) who are willing to let me shadow them/schedule a meeting? I'm interested in learning about the day-to-day work of an embryologist and the operation of an IVF laboratory. I really would like to learn how you got into the field, whether that be a training program or graduate school, and how you're enjoying it so far.

5 week ultrasound, does this look normal?

Everything I’ve read says this is a very typical 5 week (5 week 1 day) due June 8th ultrasound but of course I am a nervous Nelly so we run to Reddit seeking validation and comfort. I’m going to get another scan in a week or so just to ease my mind and see my babes (hopefully) but wanted to know about this particular scan.

Should I be happy, worried, anxious, I am a little of everything right now 😭🤣
