[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Meeting my RE to finalize IVF protocol, what questions should i ask? Turning 42 in a month, one kid in my 20s, all tests done, everything normal, high amh 6.5 , no pcos . Hashimotos medicated. [b]Im thinking i don’t want to test or do icsi based on things im reading about how they are not exact or add value. [/b]What questions do you wish you asked? [/quote]

I guess you could skip ICSI if your sperm is all good, but the idea that testing doesn't add value is not something I've ever heard or read.  I would not want to transfer an embryo that wasn't euploid - just another chance for heartbreak with no upside.

I'm 42 and pregnant with an IVF baby now after one retrieval that looked like this: 19 mature follicles, 10 eggs collected, 4 fertilized, 0 blasts at 5 days, 1 at 6 days, 0 more at 7 days.  All of my numbers were good, no diagnoses other than "unexplained secondary infertility."  PGT-A tested the one embryo and it was euploid, now 34 weeks pregnant.

Would not transfer untested or aneuploid embryos.  Depending on how the numbers turned out, I might consider tranfering a mosaic but the testing definitely adds value.  Basically the odds are not in your favor but you can sidestep some heartbreak in the form of failed transfers, CPs, or TFMR, and I'm not sure why you'd choose not to do so.[/quote]
