I'm probably really overdue but I wanted to tell you that unbeknownst to me I had a frozen embryo that had originally tested "inconclusive". Over the summer my RE called me and asked if we'd want to retest that one. Of course there is increased risk with doing extra thaws and freezes. But he said he has seen it happen successfully many times! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pgd-testing-on-frozen-blasts#post-2300202 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 22:09:23 +0000 agold 2300202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@raintreebee: I don't know about PGD testing, but it makes me so happy that you are thinking about #3!! Can you pleasy clarify what it is you are trying to do? Why do you want to test them now if you didn't test them before? And what does "bank" mean. Is it different than regular storing frozen eggs? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pgd-testing-on-frozen-blasts#post-2299468 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 14:01:40 +0000 LBee 2299468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@raintreebee: Oh shoot! That's beyond my scope of knowledge, but maybe you could comment on the blog to the person who commented? I think she just picked the blog back up and is writing again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pgd-testing-on-frozen-blasts#post-2299459 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 13:57:14 +0000 raintreebee 2299459@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LBee: Thank you! One of the comments made me think we couldn't do it with ours since they weren't ICSI'd. Shoot! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pgd-testing-on-frozen-blasts#post-2299430 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 13:39:06 +0000 LBee 2299430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, you can. I just read about someone doing it on a blog, but can't remember who. </p> <p>From what I do remember, the risk is the many steps it adds -- you are freezing, thawing, biopsying, re-freezeing, and then eventually re-thawing. </p> <p>ETA:</p> <p>Found it!

I can't find any up to date info on the web. I have three in the freezer, but am hoping to bank some embryos because of my age and test them so that we can have a larger age difference next time. I was wondering if I'd be able to test the already frozen ones. Also, I must be insane thinking about #3 while #2 is still cooking. </p>
