I think you said in the other thread that you were screening for general 'older egg' chromosome problems rather than a specific gene - does the more expensive clinic screen for more potential problems?? I don't think that the costs involved in rearing embryos for another couple of days should be particularly high.
Thanks for replying. I don't remember the other thread, perhaps I wrote it a year or 2 ago but now we would be looking for a specific gene/s and not chromosomes, though one clinic said they can build a test to look for the gene and they can also test 2 more things so they usually do the main chromosome test (its either 13/18/21, can't remember exactly) so we would be looking at a gene as well as chromosome test (only because they can add it in). Our problem though was definately genetic, so the information on the chromosome itself and not the number. My main concern is which clinic has better odds to find what we are looking for. The costs though for the cycles based on 2 clinics are quite different for each step of the process. The 3 day clinic we could do 2 cylces, but the 5 day clinic the cost is a lot more that we could only afford to do one cycle.
