[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is truly horrifying to think that so many of us could have been discarding embryos that might potentially have become healthy children. I've had 19 test abnormal over the past two years (I am in my 40s) - to think we could have tried with them, and perhaps succeeded with one, is heartbreaking. The downside of cutting-edge technology for sure. :(  But thanks for sharing this article, OP. I am just about to start our final cycle and maybe I'll just tell them to go ahead and implant whatever we get without testing this time. [/quote]

The problem is they don't know which ones will self correct and which ones will not. About the PGS normals we know that they don't need to self-correct for non-mosaic things.
So unless you're willing to stand a chance of carrying a baby with a severe genetic abnormality, your best bet is still a PGS normal.  I have had over a dozen discarded after PGS, and a miscarriage of an abnormal untested embryo and zero kids, so I do feel your pain for the discarded possibilities, but in the end, until the science advances further it's just too risky to transfer PGS abnormals.[/quote]
