[quote=Anonymous]PGD costs about $15k because you have to do it with IVF. So you pay for the IVF and then and additional $3 to $5k for PGD depending on how many embryos you have to test and how many genes you test for.

Honestly though, the cost-benefit doesn't really work out unless you just really, really, really need to know if your eggs are bad OR you can't face the possibility of a future where you are TTC for years and it takes forever to get PG or you have a bunch of miscarriages. We did it because we'd had eight miscarriages in three years and our infertility was unexplained. Getting those results made absolutely clear that we had egg problems - not just some theory - and the advice we'd been getting to "just keep trying" was most likely going to lead to several more years of miscarriages. I didn't have it in me to do that so we're going DE. BUT, if you haven't already suffered through all that and you are willing to face the possibility that it could be years of nothing and/or repeat miscarriages, then why not save yourself a lot of money and just try to find that one last good egg yourself?[/quote]
