WWYD? Day 3 biopsy w/fresh transfer or Day 5 w/frozen

[erinhen]

CP- just wanted to say welcome! As you know I will also be doing aCGH/GSN with parental assist, but I will be doing day 3 biopsy with day 5 fresh transfer (hopefully, assuming we have a normal female to transfer). My trigger is tonight and ER Saturday so we'll know next week if that is the case. But I wanted to tell you if you are interested in talking to someone more about Day 5 biopsy with FET, "lindi" (she is in the HT private forum) just did this and got a BFP! I'm sure she would be more than happy to give you information about it. Best wishes!!

Oh my gosh, Erinhen, how exciting! Good luck, I hope you get a perfect sticky pink embie to transfer, can't wait to hear your results! Thanks for telling me about lindi, too, that's great news for her. I'm going to become an official member on here eventually, I've just been busy with preschool graduations and birthdays and what have you and haven't gotten around to it yet. Pretty soon though!

I have nothing to add but a huge WELCOME!!

How much more cost is added to a FET cycle? What meds are needed and how many u/s?

If you do a medicated FET, you use lupron beforehand to suppress ovulation, typically, and then add in estrace and PIO to build your lining and support the pregnancy. I had a baseline check to make sure I was suppressed and then 2 more checks for lining and then the FET. It is very easy and you can pick the date for the FET IF your RE will let you!

My clinic was $3500 for a FET plus meds.

Oh yikes!!! My RE thought I might do better with a FET because I over stimulate. But then that would cost me an additional $3500 in addition to the $10,000 +/- for the ivf cycle itself?? Have you heard of that some women do better (have better results with a pregnancy) by doing a FET if they tend to hyper stim while cycling?

If you tend to hyperstim, then many would recommend frozen.

But I did want to suggest you discuss one other option with your RE... day 5 biopsy with fresh day 6 transfer. You can do that if you are close to Reprogenetics... 24 aCGH, 5 probe FISH or fewer probes.

Good luck!

Do you know how old "lindi" is when she did her cycle and where she cycled? Is she on the public forum as I would love to talk with her...how do I contact her? Thanks
