[quote=Anonymous]For some reason Shady Grove is against this.  Dr. Widra fought me on it for months, even though the donor had caused three simultaneous miscarriages.  They say that unfreezing and refreezing damages the embryos but I found a study somewhere, academic and peer reviewed, decent sample size, that showed no reduction in pregnancy rates.

There is no consideration for the fact that you have to drug yourself up for each successive transfer and go through the BFN several times if you pick the wrong ones.  Also, from reading forums and talking to labs, the way an embryo looks means nothing as far as which are genetically normal.  Many friends who tested, since they couldn't afford several successive frozen transfers, said the normal embryo would have been 3rd or 4th in line, had they not tested.  They are YOUR embryos, do what you need to do.

One of the reasons for CCRM's phenomenal success rates is they really push testing, and thus put in mostly normal embryos.  I don't know what they think of thaw and refreeze but maybe it's worth doing a consult with them for your peace of mind.

I recommend to all friends to have the biopsy and testing done before the freeze if there are more than 2, after my experience fighting Shady Grove on thaw and refreeze after a miscarriage.
