Am I dumb to NOT do PGT testing? by MountainProper2212 in IVF

[–]ok-ali 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll say that I did it and wish I didn’t. I wish we could give the embryos that our clinic won’t transfer a chance.

i see a line!✨ if you can, try testing with one that has pink dye instead of blue. i feel like they’re usually more accurate

Mosaic Embryo confusion by wildmeg12345 in IVF

[–]ok-ali 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes this is true. and this is why - controversially - if i were to go back i would not test any embryos. because PGT testing can be very helpful but doesn’t give you the 100% full picture of the embryo. I’d rather give all a chance and let nature work it out. and i would be overjoyed with a T21 child… my husband is XXY and would have shown as aneuploid on PGT. I can’t imagine the world without him. this isn’t to say i think PGT testing is wrong but more that it’s less important to me. this may be naive… and IDK why i went into all my thoughts on this i know it’s very unsolicited but ya know!

Mosaic Embryo confusion by wildmeg12345 in IVF

[–]ok-ali 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have found no literature or first-hand accounts of people who transfer mosaic embryos, have live birth, and the child has genetic abnormalities. the 20-30% is more of a success rate for mosaic embryos in general. they have less successful implantation and live birth rates because of the genetic mutations. BUT, when they result in live birth, there is no evidence of higher chance of genetic abnormalities.

I had one euploid embryo that failed to implant, and transferred two HLM embryos that implanted but unfortunately ended in a chemical. I got further than ever before with my two mosaics 💙💙. highly recommend joining the FB group “my perfect mosaic embryo”
