[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ohhhh I’d to PGT-A. Age 38: labs were great, 15 mature eggs, 9 blastocysts …2 euploid. Even with a great blast rate and beautiful embryos many were deeply flawed. Not low level mosaic. Bad. I would NOT want to “test” them by undergoing multiple heartbreaking, time consuming transfers.

Normally I advise against PGS testing but in OP's case she needs to know if she needs to do more retrievals or proceed with transfer. Her # of euploid embryos per egg retrieval is probably less than 0.5. She can waste precious time miscarrying. Either PGS or go to donor eggs [/quote]

Can you elaborate more? My RE said my amh was much higher than average for my age and she’s expecting a lot of eggs. I don’t have pcos. We did all tests possible for both partners. I understand what you’re saying though and thinking maybe we should test to stay on the safe side. Main concern: could we lose a potentially good embryo by testing? Ie false positive [/quote]
At age 42 you can expect most of your embryos to be no good. Say you do a cycle and get 3 embryos. Are you going to spend 3 months transferring one at a time to find out 3 months later that they were all abnormal and be set back from a subsequent retrieval 3 months? If you get 8 embryos and all are no good, would you consider DE? Wouldn't you rather know that up front that going through months of transfers?

The AFC predicts number of eggs retrieved better than AMH and none of them speak to what percent will be normal.

Yes, you can lose good embryos in PGS testing. That is one reason I chose not to but I was age 36. [/quote]
