[quote=Anonymous]Thanks OP. Fingers crossed. My second son is 19 months, his older brother (from same IVF batch) would be three now if he'd lived longer than a day. There was exactly 17 months between their birthdays. Thanks for your congrats and I really hope I'm not being insensitive - I just wanted to give you some encouragement as I really think it's going to work for you like it has for me (touch wood).

Yes to spaghetti sticking theory, basically. Plus not messing around with the embryos so much. Yeah there prob is a higher likelihood of non-normal embryos at 36. But not THAT high. My last round I was 36 and both blasts that time were normal. This time I produced 4 blasts (at a different clinic) and transferred one fresh. Am 37. No PGS and no ICSI. Hope it works out!

I understand your fear, especially if FETs work better for you. That makes sense to do an FET then. But PGS can't rule out chemicals and mcs (as you and I have shown!). I don't think there's something wrong with you. I just don't have that gut feeling about your situation. I do think that freezing, thawing, biopsying and refreezing, then thawing, must take a toll on embryos. I know they say it doesn't but I can't see how it wouldn't have some effect. So maybe in your next round (a) focus on eating well and resting and meditating with a guided meditation CD to help manage the anxiety (this really helped me) and (b) do the testing then and there if you're going to do it, to avoid the thaw refreezing stuff. Or skip the testing and take a chance. [/quote]
