The question
Hi, dr. Sher! Do you recomend PGT (NGS) on day 3 embryos? I m 51 and have two day 3 embryos and my clinic want to biopsy now, because they think they won' t make it to day 5. I asked them to wait until day5 and biopsy then and if non survive they were not good anyway. What s your opinion?
Answer from Dr. Geoffrey Sher
Absolutely not! They should wait to see if they reach blastocyst and then biopsy for PGS/PGT. Remember, embryos that do not reach blastocysts are all abnormal anyway and would never have propagated a viable pregnancy had they been transferred earlier.
