PGD day 3 or day 5?

[alreadyneedivf]

Hi Dr. Potter,

I may come out to California next year to do IVF/PGD with you. I was just curious if you recommend day 3 or day 5 embryo testing for PGD and also with those, if you recommend FISH or GSN! Thanks so much!!

[Dr. Potter]

I recommend GSN Natera. We do both day 3 and day 5. Day 3 is preferred at this point

thanks..then do you prefer fresh transfers if they are tested on day 3?

thanks..then do you prefer fresh transfers if they are tested on day 3?yes, day three biopsies are always fresh transfer and at this point day 5 biopsies are usually fresh as well but use aCGH
