I have been told by the fertility clinic we have 11 embryos from Egg Donation. 6 of them are developing in a good way. 2 regular and 3 in a suboptimal way. Not sure what this means?
We are getting PGT testing done, they think we can expected 3-6 embryos on blastocyst stage tomorrow. Because of the cost of it how many have people got biopsy? What happens to the ones u don't test?
Thanks

I had 14 embryos and i biopsy 8 of them in which three came back being with right amount of chromosomes. The other 5 was discarded by the label. The six embryos that wasn't tested was send to storage. Wish you luck on your journey
First time, I tested four and only one was normal so we had to test the rest. That meant paying the cost to thaw them again pay for the courier again - which would have been included if we did them altogether at first. For me, I’ve had one in four normal and then two in eight.
The lab my clinic used for PGT offered a package price for 8 embryos, but they didn’t have to be sent all at once. For example, if I sent 5 embryos and then did a second egg collection, I could send 3 more and only pay a small processing fee. If I wanted to send more than 3 the second time, I would pay the processing fee plus a fee per embryo for the extras. I would honestly recommend testing all the blasts you get if it’s in your budget.
If you choose not to test all, you might be able to do a fresh transfer with one of the untested ones or simply freeze them for later use.
