Hello Dr, what do you think about Mosaic embryo transfer? is it okay to do the transfer? what's the percentage chances to result in healthy pregnancy? Thanks
I'm 38 years old and I am using sperm from a donnor ( good quality) I've had no perticular issues with the initial testing the fertility center had me go through. I'm wondering should I spend the money or is it just because for the money that they strongly suggested that I get PGTA testing. I live un Quebec and the government pay for one IVF cycle
My husband has a balanced translocation. So in this case, I would say it’s 100% necessary as the risk of recurrent pregnancy loss is very high. 4 out of 6 blastocysts were unbalanced and would not be compatible with life.
Hi. I have a robertsonian balanced translocation 13, 14. I had no issues with conception, from the first try i got pregnant. Unfortunately it ended up with down syndrome and me and my husband decided to go for abortion. My question is should i try naturally again, or should i go IVF with PGT? What are the chances of having a healthy baby if i choose to go the natural way?
If your genetic compatibility screening is normal and your cavity is normal, then pgt is a good choice. If you find a clinic that offers pgt included in the ivf package, you won't need to pay extra
Hello, I just turned 39, I got only one frozen embryo, PGT was done and came “inconclusive test” and they asked me if I want to re-biopsed. They told me embryo is 6bb which they said is very good news. Do you consider is worth it to transfer without re-biopsy and give it a try? They are asking me to do second round but I’m looking to have one child. Thank you
6bb is great. It's already hatching. I'd transfer. Rebiopsy means tgaw, biopsy, refreeze, wait, then rethaw when ready to do the fet. Too much stress on the embryo
Good information. But you said that you think it’s good to do test for older patients, after 40. But since most of older patients doesn’t make to much embryos if you discarded any the good ones by mistake it isn’t even worse. I understand if you are doing back to back cycles to get good ones. But not everyone can afford time and money for that. Also for what I see and even understand that you and others people said that the test could also been harmful with maybe less embryos making to blast.
Perhaps the criteria for use then, should be patients who have a higher than normal risk of miscarriage (for example patients over 40) BUT who also product large numbers of embryos in IVF (which will be a smaller subset of >40 patients, but still do exist)? For older patients with lower embryo numbers, the margin for error with PGS is too high a price to pay. For younger , good prognosis patients, there's also no point, as they're going to succeed without it and with a low miscarriage rate anyway.
