[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would recommend CVS testing - even just to get additional information for you and your doctor.  I chose to have a CVS with a PGS-tested normal embryo and found out that there was extra genetic material (trisomy) on part of a chromosome that would lead to certain malformations.  This information was crucial to doctors and was not picked up in any non-invasive testing.  Our CVS results could detect small base pair deletions or additions because the doctor also ordered a micro-array (this is much more precise than what is offered through PGS because the PGS has less genetic material to work with (I spoke with the genetic counselors at the PGS testing company my clinic uses)).  Science is improving every day and the level of sophistication in the CVS tests today is probably much better than the PGS testing that was done years ago.  This may be a perfect embryo, and if so, the CVS test will confirm it! [/quote]
