We will be doing a 2nd round of IVF sometime in the next 6 months. I am hoping to get some advice on success with genetic testing. Seems to me that this is a no-brainer. Especially if spending 10K+ on IVF. Why put back an embyo that is likely to not implant or worse, cause miscarriage later on. Not to mention the cost! Any of you out there have success doing the testing?
My 1st round, I had two alleged top grade blasts go back but they didn't take. I suspect they are abnormal and my body rejected them. Since speaking to a couple of friends who had the testing, I discovered that half of their healthy looking embyos that made it to blast had chromosomal abnormalities. With the testing they were able to put back the normal blasts and both had successful live births (both 1st round I might add). Had they have not tested they ran the risk of putting back the abnormal ones, no doubt resulting in no success... Any one have thoughts on this? I am not saying you're guaranteed success if you put back a healthy embyo but obvs you're going to increase the chances dramatically than just picking one that looks ok.
