    PGD day 3 or day 5?

    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!!
    (born March, 2012)--IVF at RMANY (no GS for first one since no real preference-said we'd do it for second one)--23 eggs--12 fertilized with ICSI--1 frozen

    March/April 2013--SIRM NY--23 eggs, 15 embryos, 2 girls transferred, 1 girl and 1 unknown (only 4 celled at day 3 so no biopsy) frozen. BFP on HPT at 6dp5dt, Beta at 8dp5dt=70, Beta at 10dp5dt=216 , 1 hb at 6 weeks, ob appt at 7w2d--wow it's twins!!! CVS--2 HEALTHY GIRLS! Our twin girls were born 6 weeks early, but doing fabulously and we are so in love!! Our family is complete!!!

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

    yes, day three biopsies are always fresh transfer and at this point day 5 biopsies are usually fresh as well but use aCGH
