[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] 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] What do you mean “doesn’t even come close”? The newest cell free DNA tests can sequence the entire fetal genome if you want. I don’t think you can get all that from one embryo cell. CfDNA is 98-99% accurate. If you mean it’s not 100% accurate then you’re correct, which is why doctors won’t terminate based on the blood test alone. [/quote]
