Hey there On tra_k.

Just a post from little ole me . DH and I are currently in the process of completing PGD as DH has a genetic condition which we would rather not pass on and if we were to try naturally, its a 50/50 the baby would get it. So as you mentioned in your earlier post, were one of the ones who kind of has no choice but to screen.

Anyway, Tuesday just gone, we did our first EPU, achieving 8 Eggs and then subsequently achieving as of yesterday morning, 7 normally fertilised embryos. That said we have never been told about a minimun that they would test. Oh by the way, were with SIVF for our PGD. Im assuming that with the PGD process, they just need to get a good number of eggs to better your chances of success with a healthy embryo. I feel that yes it is a large amount of money to spend but if it gets you answers or it crosses various questions as to what might be wrong off the list so to speak then it is money well spent. I can see that it might give you peace of mind or then again, make you even more crazy with "what the hell is going on" thoughts.

If you want, PM me and I can let you know the name of our Dr etc or if you have any other questions just ask Im more than happy to share my experiences with you or anyone for that matter.
