I am the 11:12 poster. We did the SGF shared risk split with 2 other couples. My donor responded great. We each got 12. Of the 12 we received, 6 made it to blast and 5 were normal. I am pregnant with the first transfer.
Had I received no normal blasts, we could have cycled 5 more times and gotten our money back if it didn't work. Whoever said they were screwed with 1 abnormal blast obviously did not do the shared risk program.

Also, we got those numbers with severe MFI (motility, morphology, and numbers are all terrible).

So the guarantee is one blast but not one normal blast?

PGS is optional. Shared risk gives you up to 6 cycles for a live birth or your money back. SGF has different programs where you can either get all the eggs from a donor's cycle for a higher cost or you can share with one or two other couples for a lower fee but you end up getting fewer eggs each time.

the more you share the cheaper it is. but there is a downside too. sharing can be between 2 or 3 couples.

I don't really want to work with Shady Grove any longer, but they are offering multiple cycles for the same price as one elsewhere? Ugh.

Shady Grove has guarantee programs at that price, versus one round at CCRM. I had success first transfer and 4 normals frozen from just one round.

That was for frozen eggs. I think the price includes one transfer but not totally sure.

Is that for fresh or frozen? Does it include the transfer?

Roughly $25k without PGS testing. $35k with PGS. Not sure about the donor database as I haven’t gotten access yet.

And no I don’t think the guarantee is for a PGS normal embryo. Just a good quality Day 5 blast.

Could anyone please let us know the round about cost they encountered for a single cycle IVF with donor eggs and/or multi-cycle IVF with donor eggs with PGS/PGT Testing.

Also do they give a grantee of a PGT tested normal embryo. On their website I saw it was guarantee of one normal embryo but wanted to know if that would be pgs tested or not?

Lastly is their database vast for egg donors.

Thank you
