Hi Dr Sher,

I hope this message finds you very well!

I’m turning 44 soon and have finished the embryo banking process (2 euploid embryos + 7 LLM embryos). Clearly I’m unlikely to retrieve any more euploid embryos at my age.

I’ve completed two FETs unsuccessfully with untested embryos, assume reason for failure was embryo competency (with hindsight should have tried the Euploids in priority).

However, I note from your articles that there are multiple reasons for failures, some of which are presumably not yet known.

From your experience – is age still a factor where euploid embryos are concerned, is the reproductive potential higher/significantly higher in younger women? (euploid embryos age 42).

Also, I’m thinking of adopting a kitchen sink approach now, I’ve asked for additional testing at an implantation clinic – it will delay transfer by a couple of months – do you think that is sensible? Noting that reason for failure is not known, but better to optimise circumstances, where possible, in my view.

Many thanks in advance!
Best wishes to you and you loved ones!
