Well we got our pgs results today. We had 3 that were submitted for testing. Two came back abnormal and one was undetermined. So not sure exactly what to think. Our genetic counselor called with the results. We have an appt. next week with our dr. to discuss next steps. But i think it will be transferring the remaining one and see what happens.
I had pretty much convinced myself that they were going to call and say all were abnormal. So i did find my self feeling a bit relieved - i think a combination of b/c there is still some hope, but also maybe just relieved to know what the results were after stressing for the past week+. That all said it is still hard to feel too optimistic transferring one undetermined blast. But we are hanging in there for now.....

I'm glad your waiting is over. It's good you have one to possibly transfer. I hope the doctor can give you more reassurance. I don't know too much about IVF but I know a while back we had a member who froze several retrievals before sending them out for testing so she has a larger number if blasts to test. Would that be an option for you or was this a one time thing at this clinic.
@hooligans4 - i think we could have done that and i have read about folks 'banking' embryos to increase chances or for later use. We opted to have ours tested and not wait on this first round. Our main objective is to get pregnant (obviously) but secondarily we are using it as a test of my egg quality - and since i have a high ovarian reserve its a pretty good measure. So we want to see the results for the first round before we determine if we even do a second round. If we are 0/15 than not sure its worth pursuing further?? But that will be part of the discussion next week.
Although we have already had them tested, it is something to consider doing another round before transferring (if we decide to do another round). It could save a little money, time, and stress only doing one transfer.
