[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Question for other Dr. F patients. I am 30 and healthy, issue is MFI.  Dr. F is very anti-PGD for us (one fresh failure so far, doing an FET at the end of the month).  He says it only increases odds by 10%.  Anyone have this with him?  [/quote]

All I can say is he recommended it for me when I was 38, had had 2 miscarriages, and had successfully carried a previous pregnancy with no history of miscarriages (so the likelihood that it was an egg quality issue was high).

Based on what you are describing, I'm not sure PGD makes sense where you are.  [/quote]

I disagree, I think adding PGS is always a good thing. ICSI cannot add or delete chromosomes that aren't there and it's best to know what you are transferring.[/quote]

I was the one who asked the Q. I agree. Idk why he is so against it.  I have a follow up appointment scheduled for May if my transfer fails and I'll ask to have the remaining 6 embryos tested.  [/quote]

I think the argument probably is that it doesn't improve your odds enough to be worth the risk of losing embyros (there is a risk) AND the significant added expense.  In other words, you will get pregnant just as quickly as you would using PGS just because you are very young and your odds are very good.  Because PGS is no guarantee.

But I would be interested to hear what Dr F says!  Post back if you think of it.[/quote]

I will! God willing I am pregnant in a few weeks after my FET and this discussion is unnecessary, but who the hell knows. It probably will be :-/[/quote]
