Increases in IVF clinical pregnancy rates were seen following PGS in women who were over the age of 35. The largest increase in rates occurred in women aged between 38 and 41. PGS had very little impact on the rate of pregnancy in women below 35. Taking into account the effects of increasing age on fertility, these results are not surprising. They suggest that women over the age of 35 are more likely to benefit from PGS and that there may be very little benefit in the use of PGS to improve IVF success rates in women under 35. If a chromosomally normal embryo is transferred into an older woman, the chances of successful implantation and pregnancy are not significantly different to that of a younger woman. Embryos which look healthy on examination under the microscope can still potentially have problems that may affect successful implantation and pregnancy. Single miscarriages are relatively common, with 1 in 4 pregnancies ending this way. Multiple miscarriages however are less common and can be caused by chromosomal abnormalities. Therefore, choosing only the healthiest embryos for transfer may help to prevent this. Which I came to realize that it is true during my treatment at Bio tex.
