[quote=Anonymous]Sometimes a frozen transfer is better because of hormone levels after stimming, but my understanding is that they can test those levels and give you feedback about whether or not fresh is a good choice.  I wanted to do a fresh day 3 transfer on my last round b/c I hadn't gotten any blasts from my prior rounds despite a pretty good number of eggs (I'm over 40), but my progesterone wasn't in the range where my RE felt there was a good chance of success.  Freezing 3 day embies isn't a great option b/c they have so few cells that the risk of damage is much higher, plus I know that the most likely reason that none are making it to blast is that they're not genetically normal.  I waited and ended up with 1 blast to freeze, but unfortunately it didn't take on the FET.

When I started all this, I also wanted to do PGS, but that went out the window after seeing that I get next to no embryos that make it to blast.  There is some risk that an embryo would be damages by the biopsy and/or the freezing process, so I won't take the chance.  If I had a good number of blasts, I would definitely do PGS, though.[/quote]
