My embryo transfer cycle was cancelled on Friday. My body wasn't reacting to the Gonal F and my estrogen wasn't rising, nor was my lining getting any thicker.

Is anyone changing their mind about doing pgt testing on embryos due to the recent class action law suit against testing companies? We were planning to do it but now I’m not so sure - over 40 and this will be our first ivf round (never been pregnant so we thought testing would be worthwhile). Thoughts?

We are so fortunate it worked the first time (third transfer) but have no frozen embryos left, how did people find it the second time if you’ve gone down this route? The process, pregnancy and every...
