[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you’re only getting one per retrieval, are you banking? If not, I’d be inclined to do fresh transfers and/or not bother testing. Testing doesn’t improve outcomes for a given blast, may actually shave a bit of viability off a given blast, and mostly can make things more efficient if you’re choosing among multiple blasts. But if you have so few, I wouldn’t risk it myself. [/quote]

No, I am not banking. Per insurance if we have viable embryos we need to transfer. So far I've had 3 FETs with euploids: 1 live birth, 1 CP, 1 BFN

When discussing option of not testing or doing a fresh transfer considering my low number of blasts (we only had 2 cycles with more than 1 blast), my REs still recommended PGS testing due to my age to minimize the risk of miscarriage. If we don't test, not only are we wasting time doing multiple FETs which wouldn't be successful as most of my blasts would be abnormal, if we have a miscarriage that will be more downtime and with my age we just don't have time to waste. I discuss this with my RE at every WTF appts and in the end we always listen to the REs and continue PGS testing. With testing, I am just more concerned about disposing good blasts, or abnormal blasts which can still self correct and implant, especially as they're not testing the inner mass.[/quote]
