Pgt-a testing with NHS ivf

[NeatZebra]

Hi

Has anyone got experience of this as an add on on the NHS IVF? We were told we have to decide before we start the IVF but I have dor and I'm 37 so not sure if it will be possible or worthwhile.

If anyone has had this, do you know a rough price? I'm sure the fertility consultant told me 5k per embryo but that doesn't seem right ?

I've had 2 mcs & chemical, first confirmed chromosonal, second, not tested but slow growing, third, chemical. Not sure if it's egg quality or uterine issue after d and c & currently waiting for a hysteroscopy.

Thanks

Have a look at what the HFEA says about this treatment. For most patients they say it doesn’t improve your chances of having a baby.

Obviously a different situation entirely if you or your partner has a confirmed chromosomal issue.

The NHS doesn't seem like it funds PGT-A and at a clinic opening evening I went to for one of the 4 clinics in the UK you can go to if you're getting PGT-D or PGT-SR funded by the NHS they said that you weren't allowed to add PGT-A on self funded to an NHS funded round of treatment. As PP has said, PGT-AA hasn't really been shown to increase chances of a live birth.

If you are getting pregnant, can I ask how you qualify for NHS funded IVF? Usually it's 1-2 years (depending where you are) without a pregnancy before you are eligible, unless you have other specific criteria, for example you need PGT to screen for a specific hereditary condition you are a carrier of (which is my situation, I've had 4 miscarriages but I also have chromosome abnormalities so qualify for PGT-SR IVF on the NHS).

Hi

I qualify because I'm over 35 and have been trying for over 2 years, I got 'in the system' with my first loss as it was late first trimester and baby has a cystic hygroma which triggered them to test myself and my partner. Tests took 6 months to come back due to mess ups but we're ok. Before this id already started doing bloods etc as I wasn't getting pregnant.
Then there was suspected endemetrioma on one of my miscarriage scans and they got me back to check and come to light I only had one functioning ovary so they refered me. Since had a third loss and am waiting for a hysteroscopy now

We were told we can add it on but they need to know before, but if only want to do it if we had enough embryos which I don't think we will as I've got DOR . x x

Even if you have bad egg quality? I don't think I'll have enough embryos anyway but was just wondering what peoples experience of this as an NHS add on was like Incase we did respond well and has some embryos to test

Yeah - I don't know what the rules are outside of my specific case though, and regular IVF on the NHS Without PGT-SR.

It's so interesting how different it is in different areas - someone at my baby loss group had a loss at 26 weeks and has to have a full 2 years with zero pregnancies since then to be eligible for IVF and was told having any pregnancy, including a loss, during that time would make them ineligible and the clock would essentially start again after a loss.
