I love reading this thread ladies. I am in the process of deciding what route we will go and I must say this (and many other) discussion helps me decide. Truly I believe that NOTHING we do is a guarantee. On a good day like today I can say that I am just happy to be blessed with the two babies I have as I know many women do not even get a chance, ever.

Atomic and NBP: when choosing HT, what are the odds of an opposite? PGD is pretty much 100%?
Those that don't get their DG, are these Successful opposites, or do you mean unsecessful cycles?
PGD is just about 100% of a guarantee of gender unless a human makes a mistake at some point. Human error is part of life and always a possibility but nothing to go into this worrying about.
If you become a Dream Member, you'll have access to all the past cycle diaries. There's so much info in the private forums.
Unsuccessful cycles...no eggs, no normals, none of their desired gender - OR in many cases, they are successful and then have a loss or series of them.Quote:

I've always wondered, if a cycle is unsuccessful in that there are no transfers, is it less expensive than if there was a transfer? If so, by how much?
I can imagine the greatest devastation of all would be to have a successful transfer with BFP only to have a miscarriage. All that money, all that hope built up, all for nothing. Having had 3 miscarriages myself I already know how awful they are, but to have one after spending such a huge amount of money would probably wreck me. I would be tempted to transfer 2 for that very reason. I think I'd prefer the risk of twins to losing an HT baby.
You pay the majority of the entire fee before ER. Once you are past ER, you are really all in. Transfer is only a few hundred dollars so you are basically out the entire thing with a NT.
I would recommend transferring one at a time because IF you lose one, you will likely lose both and you may waste a perfectly good embryo if a bad one decides not to stick around!
What's a "cycle diary"?Quote:

Somewhere out there is a study that shows this - does anyone know where that is? Better odds of coming away with a baby when embryos are transferred one at a time.
