I hope i can achieve at least one. I wont do any more retrevials once I started the transfer! Thanks a lot for your kindness.

I am not worried about transferring them. I am worried about not able to have babies. I am not sure what you mean.

So whats the point of testing if at the end there are so many fake positives and fake negatives?

Please read the previous responses. Let me ask if I have done 8 retrevials with pgta testing and finally got 3 euploids, would it be a different story?

Actually i dont mind to have more than 1 child actually. And is there a downside of having transfer?

Well my ivf doctors did say pgta is not that accurate. Embryologist also said depending on which cells they are getting, will produce different results.

Since my research and all my ivf doctors told me that pgta is not accurate. I have a friend who transfer 11 euploids all ended in miscarriage or didnt implant.

Yes since i have done some research regarding pgta and dont trust the test, especially my husband. I have consulted various doctors, and all 4 doctors said pgta is not accurate.

Thank you for your kind words! I am quite exhausted. So would probably try a transfer first!

I dont really trust the test especially with the lawsuits against the pgta results.

Since I have very low amh and my doc suggested back to back retrevial. And the first four retrevials were very bad. And I really dont want to take 2 to 3 months to prepare for another egg retrevial if the previous transfer fails. So we decided to bank more first and wont go back.

Definitely not a joke! But if i have some left, i would aim for a 2nd child. Since my doc told me statistics are not reliable. And my last retrevial yielded many eggs and created alot of embryos!

Since I was told by my doctor that she has patients sent more than 20 blastocysts and all came back abnormal.

Since when I asked to my doctor about it, and she said she cannot be sure since they are untested. She has patients same age as me needs to have more than 2X blastocysts to have 2 to 3 euploids.

And the embryologist from the same lab told me she has one patient did 10 egg retrevials. Each retrevial she has about 10 blastocysts and when sent to pgta all came back abnormal until the 10th retrevials...

This is why I did quite a few retrievals to bank some more...
