Hi nuthinbutpink,

Thanks for you answer. I am new to the forum so can you tell me how I can join the Dream member section?

You said:
"They will push for 8-probe which is what she used but you can insist on 5-probe. The more you test for with FISH, the higher the odds are that one will test as being abnormal but further testing would show it is in fact normal. "

Why **** pushes for 8-probe? It is better?
If you do 5-probe, you do not have a risk to have a baby with deases? It is so complicated...

Most of our IVF content is in the Dream Member Private forum.

This is the public forum.

FISH has a high false abnormal rate. The more proves you use, the greater the chance at discarding a healthy embryo.

Pregnancy rates have been proven to NOT be higher when using FISH for PGD so it doesn't make sense to use more probes than necessary when all you really want is gender.

All FISH can show you is if the chromosomes are there or not. Can the embryologist see two 13's, 18's, etc. it CANNOT tell you if the arm of one is defective or if there is a missing gene. So, it may look okay but it may not be okay. aCGH and Natera check around 200 things per chromosome. FISH checks 1.

Use 5-probe FISH if you cycle there. It will eventually be phased out completely.

Hi mojos I'm going to cycle at **** & hoping I get a girl do you think it's better to do 5 probe & just test for gender. I'm a bit confused could you tell me the difference between 5 & 8 probe. Sorry for all these questions! Thank you. Xx

5 probe = 13, 21, 18, X and Y gender is already included. 8 probe, they add 15, 16 and 22 to the test.

Mojos, congrats! Could you tell us about your pretesting please?

AFC
FSH
AMH

Thank you NBP. My pretesting was not good so its not to be relied on. The hormonal levels were not tested on day 2/3 of my cycle. AFC and AMH not known. FSH was 2,9 U/l

Hi nuthinbutpink,

Thanks for you answers.
If I understand well, if I do Fish 8-prob, I will only be sure that the embryos have all the chromosoms checked but not that there are all ok? So indeed, it is not better to check more chromosoms.

I am interested in chosing the sex of course as I want a girl but it would be great to avoid some of the major deases. So it would better to ask for Natera? Is it possible to do it at ****?

[Petitepuce]

I wanted to say Natera or aCgh?

[letibe77]

C offers CGH on day 5. But they don't do it on their own they give it to another lab that only does CGH.
**** does FISH in their own lab.
I think Natera isn't available in europe.

[Petitepuce]

Thanks Letibe for your answer. Are you talking about CGH or aCGH?
I guess that is better to do the tests in C but aCGH allows to test the embryos for deases which seams great but less chance of transfer...
Grrrrr, it is so hard to know what is the best.
What do you recommend?

[ROSCAR]

But every clinic has the cgh test performed outside , HRC an all american clinic do the same
