OK so two failed IVFs later and moving to RMA NJ. Dr suggests genetic testing (Cost is HIGH $4500) due to past failed cycles (each cycle transfered 2 day 3 embryos - very nice looking).  My issue - egg quality.

My concerns  --- the cost is very high and we cannot afford to do this and then move on to egg donation. I also worry the embryos can be damaged during PGD. 

If we are left with only one or two embryos by day 5...I think we are going to skip the testing. We have been tested for all the genetic conditions out there and all is ok... I know that does not mean we are risk free but I am only 34. 

Thoughts???? Doesn't it seem like overkill if we only have two embryos?? I think so... but if we have 4 or more it makes sense to do it.

I actually do not think our embryos will even make it to day 5 but hoping the RMA lab can get some to transfer. We will see if they are as good as they say... I hope so.
