[quote=Anonymous][quote]I am at SGF and two years ago, when I did IVF, I didn't do PGS either and was not even brought to my attention. I have DD who is now 21 months old. This year, I did FET from the same batch and had a miscarriage at 8 weeks. The reason is mostly like that it's an abnormal embryo despite it having AA grade. Since I have other frozen embryos, I asked my RE if I should, and he still left the decision to me. I think the blanket statement that SGF push for PGS testing is not true. At least, not with my doctor. [/quote]

I think things have changed tremendously in the past few years.  When I did my first IVF at SG 3 years ago, they never mentioned PGS (even though I was 40) and I don't remember seeing it advertised in their literature at all.  (I only found out about it in the days after our egg retrieval through my own googling when we had more embryos than expected.)  And when it comes to already frozen embryos I don't think they are actively encouraging women to test them - to thaw, biopsy, re-freeze is a bigger expense and not without risk (we lost one to the thaw).  But with fresh cycles I think depending on your circumstances - age, ovarian reserve, whether you're likely to make it to blast - they encourage it quite a bit now.  [/quote]
