[quote=Anonymous]Three things to consider:

1. Everything in IVF takes longer than you expect or comes with unexpected curveballs. Your period could be late. You could have a uterine issue come up. You could get no blastocysts or very few and decide to do another cycle back-to-back to bank embryos. You can't really plan for maternity leave, so I'd let that go.

2. SGF will make you decide before the cycle if you are doing PGS or not (or at least they did for me last year). They have to do the PGS really quickly after the embryo reaches blast, so don't have time to consult you. And because they are such a big clinic, they don't have the flexibility to let people decided later in their IVF cycle.

3. Coming from the other side as someone who is now pregnant at 40, I am so so grateful I did PGS. I can't imagine going through an IVF cycle, an embryo transfer and then 10-12 weeks of pregnancy only to find out through NIPT or NT testing that there was something wrong with the baby. At 39, the odds are still small, but much greater than a younger woman. And the stakes feel so high with an IVF pregnancy because of the money spent and limited number of attempts. Or if you have an abnormal embryo, you could miscarry and that really sets back the getting pregnant timeline at an age where every month counts. PGS isn't perfect. People miscarry PGS embryos (rarely). PGS may eliminate a viable embryo (rarely). But it can save you a lot of grief and time.
