PGS results are in!

Amethyst

I posted this in the other group (Jan/Feb 2021) yesterday but I want to share the results here as well!

Here is a complete breakdown from egg retrieval to now:

Retrieved- 26

Mature- 16

Fertilized- 14

Biopsied- 11

PGS results:

•2 abnormal & 1 mosaic

•8 normal

-6 boys & 2 girls

I am now obsessively researching the results to understand all of the grading scales and what they mean.

Of the 8 normal we have 1 CHBBB, 5 HBBB, and 2 EBBB grades. (That took forever to try and understand when I typically see the number-letter-letter grading scale 😅)

From what I read, having a CHB versus an HB transferred actually results in less successful transfers? Does anyone have insight on the realities of this?

** EB= early blastocyst, HB= hatching blastocyst, CHB= completely hatched blastocyst **

I can imagine it. I had retrieval on Wednesday and lab called today on Saturday to update me. Hang in there your good news is on your way 🙌

Those are great numbers. I had 19 retrieved last Friday - my doctor called me today to tell me that only 5 are being sent off for testing. I’m a little disappointed about the ratio since I know at my age about 50% will come back abnormal. I was hoping for at least 4 embryos so we could try for twins twice before having to do another retrieval. He said they are still watching a couple more for one lore day ... but I’m not feeling hopeful.

Don’t give up hope! I had them call me back saying they kept an eye on one for longer and ended up sending it to biopsy. That one ended up coming back normal when three others didn’t.
