Why would an Re not recommend PGS?

Mine doesn't even recommend PGS

Success rates same on FET right?

And there have been small studies which show that sometimes (though rarely) an abnormal embryo can correct itself.

I mean there's always a risk of trisomy think about getting pregnant naturally ?

The first time we did it, we transferred fresh and froze the rest. The second time, we did a freeze-all.

We got a BFP with the fresh transfer but that pregnancy quickly became life threatening (it's complicated) and we had to terminate.

The second time was with a surrogate and we had to do two FETs to get our BFP. That LO is currently in his saucer, attempting to eat his socks.

My RE said no to this. He said he did it with someone and the untested day 5 turned out to be a trisomy.

OP here I would transfer on day five

my plan was to transfer fresh on day 3 and freeze and test whatever made it to blast.

i transferred two on day three and nothing made it to freeze. Luckily my daughter was one of the day 3 embryos that took.

I will obviously ask my RE at my next consult just wondering if this is done/recommended

I don't see any reason why you couldn't do that if you wanted to.

What about transferring an untested day 5 and biopsy freezing the rest?

It depends on the clinic. I was at one clinic out of state that did testing on Day 5 with overnight results and if there were any normals you could do a fresh Day 6 transfer but you don't find out until early that morning. I never had any normals.

Most clinics seem to do testing on Day 5 or 6 embryos, freeze them while you wait for the results, and then transfer on an FET later.

I also tried the approach of transferring the max number fresh but untested on Day 3, with the idea I could test anything left over that made it to blast by Day 5 or 6. But there were never any blasts to test and Day 3 transfers did not take.

Good luck!

Most likely freeze all

if i am planning to do Next Gen testing on 5 day blasts on my next fresh IVF, just because of my age (37), would I transfer any on the fresh, or would I biopsy and freeze all and only transfer on a subsequent FET?
