[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, if you have a spare $5K sitting around I would look hard at getting anything that makes it to blast CGH tested. The unfortunate truth is that at 40, only about 1 in every 10 eggs is genetically normal. Gorgeous, perfect, 0% fragmentation embryos can be genetically abnormal and ugly, fragmented lower quality-looking embryos can make perfect babies. CGH tested embryos don't guarantee a pregnancy, but it sure might save the heartache of repeat transfers. On the bright side, you have a lot to work with so hopefully there are a few embryos that will want to become babies. :)

Given your high E2 and bloating, having them tested and doing a FET next month is not a bad idea--particularly since you mentioned immune issues. Are you doing anything about that or is it just suspected?

P.S. I'm 40 and out of 30 embryos over 2 cycles we never had any make it to the freezer.[/quote]

I haven't read through the whole thread, but this is extremely sound advice.  Do CGH testing and figure out your immune issues in the meanwhile.  After a few failed FETs of good looking blasts, my RE got my TSH to under 2 (it was 2.8 -- not officially hypothyroid but he said optimal levels for fertility and pregnancy were between 1 and 2), and I got pregnant off a very average looking frozen embryo.[/quote]
