Did you put a cap on how many embryos to get biopsies and sent out for genetic testing?
I told the embryologist lab no cap but I’m wondering if I made the right decision. We currently have 14 embryos and tomorrow it can go up to 16. Financially I can afford it thanks to my employer but I’m feeling uneasy about the decision we only want to have 3 kids maybe 4

Thank you! I told them no cap but I’m spiraling over here, I wasn’t expecting this question

Why place a cap? You don’t know which embryos will be healthy or not. It seems arbitrary to have a cap unless you don’t want the results to influence how you use the embryos. I tested all of mine.

Also don’t forget not all the embryos survive the thawing process so you don’t really want to discard anything until you are really “done”

How long after a failed transfer does your stomach and body feel like it’s back to normal? It’s been a little over a week since I got the news that my transfer a few weeks ago didn’t work.

Has anyone switched labs for better lab quality/embryologist experience? Wondering if there is a significant difference between labs. We got poor results at our current clinic and, happens that our clinic is rated lower on SART website. Wondering if the lab quality is the reason or if the clinic handles complicated cases that lead to lower outcomes. Overall, unsure if we should switch clinics or just try again at the current one. Thanks.
