Hi ladies,

It's my first time posting in the IVF/PGD forum and I'm desperate for a quick answer to help hubby & I make a decision. We find ourselves in the realm of IVF/PGD as we are proving to be a particularly "stubborn" case of "unexplained infertility". It seems that the next step for us is to try PGD to see whether that will give us any answers about why our 6 transfers have failed.

We have 4 fertilised embryos from our most recent cycle and are trying to decide whether that is enough to justify spending the $2,500 for PGD. We got 9 fertilised embies first time round so 4 is a bit of a disappointment for us. We don't suspect any genetic disorders, we're simply searching for answers for the lack of success. It is not critical that we do the PGD but we feel it is the next step.

We have the option of freezing this batch and doing another collection to make it "worth" testing. I guess we have the luxury that we can still transfer an unscreened embryo? What should we do? What is the minimum/normal number of embryos that you have had tested?

Help!

P.S. I am aware that many of you brave couples have no choice but to screen and I hope my questions don't offend you.
