[quote=Anonymous]I actually looked into this. As you know OP, but putting in for the benefit of others, there have been a number of studies throughout the world reporting healthy live births from PGS “abnormal” embryos that are nicely summarized in the article below:

I don’t think there are any REs in this area that will transfer “abnormal” embryos.  The closest place I know of is the Center for Human Reproduction in New York.

I consulted Dr. Gleicher at CHR regarding transfer of two PGS “abnormal” embryos I generated at Dominion. When I was doing my cycle overview with Holi at Dominion, she told me they hold on to the PGS “abnormal” embryos which is the only reason I consented to PGS. After the cycle upon finding out both of my embryos were “abnormal”, I communicated to Dr. DiMattina that I wanted my embryos saved. He assured me they would be stored for me. However, when I tried to transfer my embryos to CHR, I was told they were destroyed and DiMattina is claiming to remember nothing of our conversation which I do not believe. So, for anyone who is skeptical of PGS, be very careful dealing with Dominion as they are not honest about their practice.

Based on my consult with Dr. Gleicher, I think they consider transfer of “abnormalities” that are lethal because if “real” the embryo will either not implant or cause an early miscarriage but if “false” will have a good pregnancy chance. I don’t know that they would transfer an abnormality with the potential to result in a live birth with a chromosomal abnormality. With everything you’ve been through though, it may be worth a consult with them. Best of luck.[/quote]
