[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It was worth it for me to significantly lower the risk of miscarriage. Unfortunately, it does not rule out miscarriage and there have been several postings of women on this board that have miscarried PGS embryos. Putting aside the emotional cost of miscarriage, there are huge time sucks and set you back months in IVF. I'm surprised to hear your RE advised against it - mine at SGF and my OB at VHC - STRONGLY encourage it ( I was 34 w/PCOS). Was it discouraged specifically for you because of your DOR, or does the RE discourage it across the board? If it's the latter, that sounds usual and I'd suggest a second opinion.[/quote]

She said it's only recommended for patients over 40 or people with recurrent miscarriages. To be fair, I've never had a miscarriage and I have 2 kids (one IVF, one miracle baby). But the thought of having a miscarriage from an untested embryo (I have one) kind of terrifies me. [/quote]

If you are 35 and have already had two kids, one without medical intervention, you do not have severe DOR. Just do IVF and transfer what you get. [/quote]

0.3 AMH and AFC of 3 isn't DOR? [/quote]

My RE and I consider it severe DOR (those are my numbers, too).[/quote]

A DOR diagnosis is usually a combination of your numbers and having tried IVF and had no or very little response to stimulation medicine. The OP might have DOR but since her last round led to 4 eggs being retrieved, it wouldn’t qualify. Now, that was a few years ago so her response might be much worse now. In that case, a cycle where she fails to respond to stimulation would give her a more accurate diagnosis. I would do at least one new round to see how the response is before deciding that PGS is worth it. [/quote]
