hi ladies,
my Q is: are the blasts that look best, automatically chromosomally \'normal\'?
is it really worth it to push out to blast if you can see which are the best looking 3-4 embies on cd3? (cd3 embryo appearances can be deceiving also, of course- but are blasts more likely to be normal if they look normal than cd3 embryos?)
i think my RE wants me to decide would i rather put in 3 or 4 on cd3 (and discard the worse 1 or 2) or do i want to wait until cd5 and hope at least 2 continue to grow in the lab - and look normal/healthy on cd5.
do i have a higher chance of selecting my normal embryo out of 4 cd3 embies rather than 2 blasts?
at my age (39 yrs old with egg quality issues), i don't expect to have more than 1 normal embryo. i know there are a couple of board members who believe in SET for 40 yr olds and who believe in pushing out to blast regardless of cd3 circumstances; i don't fall into the category of SET and i am very comfortable putting in 4 embryos on cd3.
thanks in advance for responding!
