Who here has done PGS?

Question

Was it expensive?  Did you think it was worth it?

Answer

We did it. It's pricey, but we felt worth it.  Both good quality 5-day blast embryos were tested. One was determined to be normal- the other not.  We could have implanted an abnormal embryo or experienced yet another miscarriage.  Here's an excerpt from an article which I found helpful:

"However the underlying chromosomal competence or lack of chromosomal competence is far more important than the morphological grade of an embryo. Grading involves shades of gray but chromosomal competence is a black or white issue.

The beautiful looking embryo that is chromosomally abnormal is not going to make a healthy baby and an embryo that does not get a high grade but is chromosomally normal should still have a high implantation potential and be likely to result in the birth of a healthy baby after transfer to the uterus.

As far as embryos go, it’s good to be pretty but much more important to be chromosomally normal. Chromosomal competence can be determined with preimplantation genetic screening (PGS) which should be done at the blastocyst stage of embryo development with trophectoderm biopsy."
