[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]what i find interesting about the article was that THERE WAS NOT A SINGLE CASE of PGD abnormal embryo that 1) implanted 2) led to miscarriage or abnormal child. the sample sizes were small, sure, but this is still totally amazing.

i am thinking that perhaps those abnormal PGS embryos which are able to self-correct might be stronger than normal embryos.[/quote]

The sample size IS small and there is no evidence that every PGS abnormal embryo would implant (in fact, the article notes only 6 of 18 women in one case got pregnant with the abnormal embryo) and notes that abnormal embryos don't always self correct.

It's certainly worth exploring further but as a woman who went through multiple rounds of IVF and testing I would not want to take the chance of an abnormal embryo without a good deal more of evidence.  Having to terminate because of a defect would be far more painful than having to discard embryos - for me.  YMMV.[/quote]

there was a lot of embryos that did not implant. What is amazing is that among those that did not a single one results in miscarriage or abnormal child.

This is extremely unlikely to happen even in a small sample size unless the probability of a normal embryo WHICH IMPLANED (a big i if) is extremely low i.e. Comparable to miscarriage of PGS normals[/quote]
