[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree with PP, PGS (now called PGT-A) is a hotbed of controversy ATM. It seems as though normal embryos (or at least, embryos that could potentially lead to a healthy baby) are being weeded out inaccurately by PGS, and there are a ton of stories of mosaics leading to healthy babies (there's a my perfect mosaic group on FB, and I personally have a friend who had her completely healthy mosaic baby in March at 42. I will not be using PGS on my frozen eggs from when I was 36, and if I have to do another IVF cycle, I am not sure I will do PGS there (more likely to consider it given my age - I am 41 - but still, I have just read too many stories about PGS failures at this point). It's a very personal decision and REs are all over the map on it.

I was 31 for our first retrieval (got 5 great blasts) and 34 for our second retrieval (got 8 great blasts). We never thought we would have to do a second retrieval, but the first five resulted in live birth, miscarriage, one didn’t survive the thaw and two didn’t work at all. The second retrieval has so far resulted in a chemical, a live birth and a miscarriage (though the embryo itself was normal and miscarriage was due to a large SCH). I tell you all this to give you an idea of what you might encounter without testing.

For us, we had decided that if we got a blastocyst we would give it a chance no matter what, so wouldn’t do PGS. But I’ve experienced a lot of loss and disappointment (and $$ spent, which seems trivial when dealing with loss but is still important to consider) so understand why someone might make a different choice.[/quote]
