FET from non-PGS eggs from 6 years ago

[Anonymous]

I'm considering trying a FET with our embryos from my first IVF cycle (which successfully resulted in my daughter), with OE retrieved when I was 29 (DS was 30, primary cause was pretty severe MFI). 35 now, would be 36 at delivery if it works. We had 3 high quality embryos but never PGS tested them at the RE's recommendation. Should I test the embryos or just give it a shot?

Very similar scenario for us, in the sense of non-tested embryos used years later. We didn’t test bc I was young, but our infertility cause was loss of both tubes, so maybe that would make a difference? On the other hand, Doctor said thaw plus testing plus refreeze plus potential thaw again could potentially damage the embryos, too.

OP, what’s your plan if the transfer doesn’t work? I personally would not thaw, test and refreeze. It’s probably not worth the risk of damaging the embryo. I would just transfer and see what happens, but it all depends on what your alternatives are. If you would do another egg retrieval cycle, I might just go ahead and do that while testing this batch.

Since you were only 29 I would just transfer them. 100%. I personally would not thaw to test then refreeze then thaw. Especially since you were so young. And still are relatively young now!

Go for it, transfer

I agree with others. Transfer.

This was me. 30 at egg retrieval and fresh cycle. Had a baby at 31. Transferred a non PGS frozen at 34 and had a second healthy baby. Currently pregnant at 40 with the third from that same fresh cycle and SG recommend to not test since I was young and had two healthy babies.
