[quote=Anonymous]I am 39 years old and about to start IVF next cycle after trying IUI. Conceived naturally three years ago with my son and tested negative for CF during that pregnancy. At the IVF consult, the dr at SGF laid out all the options, including PGS for embryos. It would be $3500 to test them, which is an additional expense we can’t really handle financially. The dr offered to enroll us in a study where we’d get PGS for free however it would mean waiting another three cycles due to timing and procedures associated with the study. And due to the nature of my job, waiting another three cycles would impact my possible maternity leave (if things went well)  and therefore cause us more financial loss. I hope I explained this all clearly - this is our first experience with all of this and still learning. So i guess my question would be: is PGS at my age absolutely necessary? Is it worth paying out of pocket for it up front this cycle and struggling a little financially ? Is it worth waiting another 3 cycles and possibly losing paid leave next year? Is it stupid not to get it done at my age? Or is it worth playing the numbers game and not testing. Side note- the dr recommended transferring 2 best embryos (again, if all goes well next cycle) in hopes that if one is abnormal, the other would be fine. It’s all so mind boggling and slightly stressful honestly. Thank you in advance for past experiences or insights [/quote]
