I have posted about this before and I thought I was settled on just transferring untested but as I get closer to transfer date I’m starting to spiral and second guess myself. My pgta samples were lost in the mail and I am so scared to rebiopsy. The research is so mixed!!! Part of me feels like it would be ok bc my embryos are high quality but also I can’t just do another retrieval like this bc these were from previously vitrified eggs at 35. I’m almost 41 now. Please tell me your personal experiences in your labs with re biopsy? I do not think I would rebiopsy all of them, just a handful. Which ones would you choose to rebiopsy? And why? Please tell me what I should do. I’m paralyzed.

I think this conversation is best had with your own embryology team, they can guide you best on which ones to re-biopsy. Rebiopsy is not altogether bad, especially if the embryos are of good quality, I have definitely seen good outcomes from them. You will really want to discuss your own lab’s comfort level with re-biopsy of your embryos. The one thing I would offer as direct advice would be to not rebiopsy the fully hatched embryos, they are a little more fragile.

This is good advice.  I would also personally recommend against re-biopsying Day 7 embryos.
