| Has anyone successfully transferred an abnormal embryo and delivered a healthy baby? Also, which clinics around here will transfer abnormal embryos? Were the tests during pregnancy consistent with the initial abnormal result before the transfer? |

| Abnormal or mosaic? I know a healthy baby that came from a a mosaic, but have never heard of a clinic transferring a full abnormal. |

| Clinics won’t transfer abnormal embryos. It’s brings an extremely low chance of success, which isn’t worth the risk to you or the time/resources and impact of negative results on a clinic’s percentages for success. Some clinics will transfer mosaics, however. |

| What is the risk of the child being born profoundly disabled? Wouldn't that be a concern? |

| My RE considered 7 day blasts abnormal (but still potentially viable) and transferred 2 at once. Only one took, resulting in a delightful baby. Good luck to you! |

But those weren't tested embryos, right? Transferring untested embryos is very different from one that has definitively tested abnormal. |

| So you probably know, but Stanford is doing a study on transferring mosaics and abnormals. Looks like the odds of success are lower, but they aren’t seeing babies born with disabilities. That being said, I don’t know of any area clinics that transfers abnormals. I think CFA transfers mosaics. You could call them and ask if they would transfer an abnormal. |

| Embryoman on IG/FB just did a post about a new study indicating that low level mosaics have a fairly high success rate, relatively close to that of PGS normals (I can't remember the numbers exactly). I have one segmental mosaic on ice but since we are done having kids, I will likely donate to research. Still, the study was pretty interesting - it seems like the vast majority of mosaics that are not going to develop into a healthy pregnancy fail shortly after transfer, not many weeks or months later. |

I read this article about specialized practices in ny who have done it:
