At 38 I decided to try to conceive through a fertility clinic, never trying to conceive before. I had 4 failed IUIs. At 39 I had 1 egg collection (where only one ovary was accessed because of a fibroid) from mild IVF which resulted into only a 3 day embryo that failed. I had a second egg collection on better meds, another doc that could access both ovaries, resulted in 4 blastocyst, 1 lead to an ectopic, 1 a chemical pregnancy and 2 failed.
So that brings me to now at 40, I’m having an egg collection in mid October and I’m not sure if I should do PGT-A. Part of me is like if I can find out the normal, abnormal and mosaic embryos it will save money and time. I’ve spent a lot so far. Other part when I think about the embryo possibly being damaged makes me feel sick, to not get pregnant because of damaged embryos especially when I likely won’t get many (because of ovary blocking ovary) is hard. Women get pregnant with untested embryos all the time. 2 out of 10 get damaged from testing. If there were 10 then that may be easier to take.
Ive emailed the lab at the clinic to talk me though it and asked if there is flexibility like not test the highest graded embryo but test the rest, but from talking to the doctor who was vague it sounds quite restrictive.
What do you think?
