I have 9 frozen embryos my clinic has said I could have PGT -A done however it would mean defrosting the embryos twice and this could cause us to lose embryos throughout each stage of the process. Any advice. Have you done this and what was your outcome? Have you had this option and what did you decide?
I am super confused what to do any advice would be helpful.
Personally I wouldn’t the risk a thaw - biopsy - freeze and rethaw
Was there a reason why you didn’t PGS them initially?
I’m sceptical of PGS testing to be honest - I tested age 36 and didn’t get any normals - decided not to test again and had twins on my next transfer
I’m a member of a Facebook group for PGS mosaics and abnormals and lots of women on there in countries where you can legally transfer them have gone on to have healthy babies
I wasn't aware of it at when I first done my ivf icic egg collection and it was a freeze all. I don't think they would have offered it on fresh as there was no reason to do it. They offered it now as I had 2 mc and 1 bfn. But am skepital of it due to the process. Thanks for this. I am on the side of not doing it. I am also going to to mc blood tests to see clotting is the issue.
My doctor advises against PGS testing. As Ivfgotadream mentioned, some embryos will come back abnormal after testing whereas if they got transferred they can implant and become healthy babies.
Hello there.
I had 2 embryos from a cycle -5 years ago - thawed for PGT and the frozen again. The results were inconclusive- whilst there were normal ones in my fresher batch.
I suspect true chances of the inconclusive frozen- thawed-then tested-and frozen again will not survive the thaw. See below

I had 2 failed transfers before testing 5 other embryos. We lost 2 of them from the thaw (one was a but dodgy anyway). They all came back normal but I am relatively young so I was expecting a good outcome. I wanted to do it because I wanted to rule anything major out before transferring another embryo.
I have been with two different IVF clinics, both of them wanted me to PGT-A my embryos, I did not (I am very very sceptical of PGT-A), and both of them insisted that I could not come back to my decision once the embryos were frozen because there is a high risk of damage and they would not do that.
I had mine thawed and tested.. Didn't lose any, all survived the process. 5/6 came back normal. The other was low level mosaic (aged 34 at egg collection).
Thanks for the reply, have you since had a transfer from the tested normal embryos?
Yes! I've had 3 put back in 2 transfers! Still not managed to get pregnant! Am guessing there is an implantation issue with me rather than the embryos (I've never been pregnant more than a couple of days with some chemicals). Next step is the Era, Emma, Alice and a hysteroscopy 
I did it and I’m so glad I did. Half of my embryos had abnormalities and I’m glad I saved myself some heartache. All the others made it through the refreeze and I’m now 16 weeks pregnant after having my final transfer.
Hi I'm glad it worked for you. Did you change your medication or do the same meds??
I also did an era, Emma and Alice and got a bfp straight away with twins.
