CP - I can't recall if you've had tests re: failing to implant? If it is a concern, it sounds like it does make sense to have this looked into before you transfer your blastie. Also, thank you so much for "stalking" me and your post in the other thread.

Thanks Sara and Julie, have already made a appt with FS on 23 April and hopefully will do some b/t re implantation issues. We eliminated this possibility after my very first pregnancy (which was a missed m/c), do you think people who has implantation issue will just have a off-chance to get PG? So far, I've done 2 fresh + 2 FET with no sign of HCG and that just makes me wondering...so this issue seems to be back on agenda again...haven't done any tests...
CP - I don't know. My understanding is that the same thing in 1 person may result in failure to implant, while in another they will get pregnant but not be able to hold it. I haven't looked into this in detail, but I'm going to query my FS as I can't afford to find out too far down the track that I have an issue. I know they normally require a number of miscarriages or implementation failures, but where time is of the essence, I say - just test. There's another thread somewhere that covers all the tests and probably has much more info. I know FarmGirl asked her FS to run the tests because after numerous transfers, she was getting no where, and they found her problem and now she is very pregnant.

You wouldn't believe it, but 10 out of 12 are still growing! We have 1 x morula, 5 x 8 cell, 1 x 7 cell, 2 x 6 cell, and 1 x 5 cell embryos today! he two lagging are both 2 x cell embryos. PGD is being done on the six most advanced embryos this afternoon. God willing, we'll have something to put back tomorrow.
If you'll excuse me, I'm just going to go and sit down somewhere and bawl my eyes out with relief.
Cuddlepie, it would definitely be worth having the tests re-run if you still think there are problems. I've had one particular test come up negative several times with my rheumy, it came back as a negative with Dr S, but eventually came back as a very low positive with my current FS. He still wasn't going to treat it, but as it was low dose aspirin I independently made the decision to treat it any way, and it was when we did that we got Sam. Your test results can change with time. If you are concerned, leave no stone unturned.
I have one perfect embryo (morula) that doesn't even appear to have my translocation. My ET is going to be at about 10:00 tomorrow morning. I cried. All the others were monosomy/trisomy (chromosomally unbalanced).
Kel - I know that must be disappointing from a percentage perspective - but remember, it really does only take 1 to make a baby. You have 1 perfect blastie - let's hope it is sticky and strong!
Julie: I didn't cry because I only got one, I cried because I got one at all! I'm so relieved and excited; this is the closest we've ever been to having a baby.
Kel, that's great news, I hope this one is a fighter and stick for a long term. Good luck with the ET.
Sara, how is the EPU go? I assume it will take a while for you to recover as you are put under...thinking of you....I hope you get lots of Easter eggies...
Just popping in to say wohooooooo for kel. I hope ET went well today and your perfect bubba decides to stick around
Also Sara - praying you got some great eggies today and are recovering well from EPU.
CP - don't give up hope on this one yet but I agree you are right to make a plan B involving more investigation. Wouldn't be to hard for you to see DrS if you need to given you live in Sydney. Might be worth another opinion? My understanding is that for things like NK cell issues ( which I may have), it causes some women to repeat m/c and others to have implantation issues. Worth getting proper testing given treatment is possible.

I also agree with the "no stone left unturned" plan.
