[quote=Anonymous]Hi all,

I just wanted to let this group know how different clinics handle PGS results. Originally I was a patient at SGF, after two rounds of IVF I had one normal and two mosaic embryos. My normal didn’t implant. SGF would not let me implant my mosaics. Apparently 20-40% of all PGS tested embryos are mosaics. This means that the biopsy of the embryo has a percentage of both normal and abnormal cells. Lots of newer research suggests that these embryos lead to to healthy babies. No great meta analysis but after doing some research I’d say about 60% of euploids lead to healthy babies and about 40% of mosaics lead to a healthy birth (most of the rest fail to implant). After a ton of work, I was able to leave SGF and had my mosaic embryo transferred by Dr. Sacks at CFA.  I’m 8 weeks pregnant today. PGS testing can be helpful to prioritize which embryos to transfer but so many possible healthy embryos are thrown away. CFA saved me from doing a third retrieval. I wish I had been aware of these policies before I had started my IVF journey and wanted to pass this knowledge along to others. [/quote]
