[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

i don't think AMH correlates with percentage of euploid... which is the concern that you'd be doing testing for.  I would determine your personal risk tolerance for a child with a chromosomal issue (e.g. 2 of my 5 blasts had down syndrome) and your risk tolerance for miscarriage.  One of my miscarriages took 3 months to pass... which is a big delay when you're old and trying.  For some a miscarriage can lead to a d & c with scarring that prevents future pregnancy. PGT testing doesn't mean you have to discard the embryo-- you can still decide later that you're willing to transfer it if that's you're concern about a false positive.  [/quote]
Yea i get that with the amh, it wont improve quality but hopefully gives us more eggs to increase chances that one would be normal. I agree with you that those options are not optimal and im more leaning towards testing now. Thank you . Did you test the embryo that you miscarried and did you know why it happened? [/quote]

no- was iui at 37.. had another miscarriage from a natural pregnancy at 39.. probably chromosomal abnormalities given age at both but don't know [/quote]
