PGS on frozen embryos

| I have two boys from 2 fresh IVF cycles. We discarded frozen embryos from the first cycle, because insurance (Kaiser) did not pay for Fet at the time, but paid for fresh cycles. I have 5 embryos on ice, after DS2. I was 32 at the time of retrieval, no PGD or PGS done. Since that time, I found out that DH and I are both carriers for a disease, that was not tested for in the genetic testing done before by sons were born. Both kids are carriers, and there is a 50% chance that any child born to us will have the disease not just be a carrier. Question is... can PGS be done on my frozen embryos as I am preparing for child #3, or is it better to just go with a fresh cycle and do PGS. The caveat is that I am 38 now. |

| Yes, you can thaw, test, and refreeze. I just did this myself at SG. |

+1. Froze, thawed, tested, refroze, rethawed, transferred. That embryo is now 34 weeks along and looking good. |

| Yes, I did that as well. However, one of the five did not survive the thaw. Didn’t realize that was a possibility. |

| Yes, I did it as well (at ORM). |

I should add that the frozen/thawed/tested/frozen/thawed embryo that I transferred is now 2yo. |
