[quote=Anonymous]Hi, I feel like my position is similar, but in a different order.

At 27, I conceived after about 8 months of TTC, but the pregnancy ended around 15 weeks due to a chromosome abnormality (due to poor sperm).  I was told that I was not at an increased risk of miscarriages/chromosome abnormalities, but we found out after about 9 months of TTC following the miscarriage that my husband also has low morphology.  We did IVF w/ PGS because I was very fearful that some combination of this miscarriage PLUS low morphology meant that we were at an increased risk of miscarrying again.  Our first IVF failed (I think due to triggering too early), but our second one was very successful.  Out of 11 day 6 embryos, 9 were normal, 1 abnormal, and 1 inconclusive.

Personally, I would not risk the thaw/biopsy/re-freeze process for the 3 remaining ones.  I think, on average, each one has about a 75% chance of being normal, and having 1 miscarriage doesn't put you at an increased risk of abnormalities.  I'd rather risk another miscarriage than potentially eliminating viable embryos.

BUT, the choice is entirely yours, and if you need that peace of mind to feel comfortable with the FET, then that is 100% your decision to make.  Good luck to you![/quote]
