Dr. Sher,
We got the following PGT tested embryos from our first round of IVF at 33: two 4aa, one 3aa, one 3ab, two 5bb (six total genetic normals out of 10 that made it to blast). One of the 5aa came back inconclusive. We will be transferring to an experienced surrogate after four losses.
1. Would you recommend retesting the inconclusive 5aa?
2. Should I do another round to bank embryos? We would like two children.
Thank you!
I would not test the “inconclusive” blastocyst. In my opinion, 2ndary testing is too traumatic on trhe embryo. I would also not do another ER. You had a good result and all things being equal (e.g., the absence of an implantation dysfunction) you should be able to ave at least one baby out of the batch by FET (s)…over time, of course.
