[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another thing to keep in mind is that the new chromosomal blood tests now can be done very early - like 9 weeks and are exceedingly accurate and inexpensive and now I think test for more things than PGS. If something is abnormal you can get a CVS done ASAP. Obviously no one wants to deal with facing a termination at ~11 weeks should it come to that, but it’s not like the old days where you’d have to wait for an amino.

I wouldn’t make the PGS decision based on this but if you didn’t do PGS you could use this to make yourself feel better about the decision. [/quote]

First of all, doing PGS is to avoid having a miscarriage due to chromosomal abnormality. That’s the main reason ppl do it. We don’t want to go through all the hassle and money only to transfer an abnormal. That being said, we transferred one embryo untested and was successful. It wasn’t as common as it is now compared to then.

Also, I was told that PGS is the gold standard as far as testing is concerned. If you are referring to cell free DNA testing, it doesn’t even come close to PGS. [/quote]
