PGT-A lawsuit - should I still test?

Iv also decided against it 👍🏼
It was just Cooper, specific lots/ batch
I’m going to give a different perspective here. While I understand the fear I think it’s important to keep in mind that people will litigate anything these days and I would highly suggest searching for live birth rates with PGT for women over the age of 37 vs without it and you will see journal articles with outcomes. Big difference imo between not testing under 37 (statistically live birth rates are not much different and not testing over 37). At this age we really don’t have time to waste when the majority of our embryos will come back aneuploid.
Hiya I turned 40 a few months ago, did 3 egg collection cycles in a row and pgta tested so know putting viable candidates back to give best chance. After having gone through 2 early losses wanted to rule out chromosome factor and also not waste time on embryos which weren’t valid so to speak. Have a think and choose what you feel is best for you. Everyone has their own school of thought, end of the day follow your own gut and path. Whichever brings you least stress. Best of luck
@Christin thank you I was torn between thinking is it legit lawsuit or is the test actually inaccurate (I know there’s a small chance it can be which is fine) and I do know some people who did it and had live births! I’ll do more research.
We chose to do it, because it was the right choice for us. We also trust our clinic & lab, and they never promised that it would give us a live birth. Only that it can up the chances of success, but it’s not a perfect science and nothing can guarantee a baby. We made an informed decision that worked for us, but I don’t think there’s a right answer, because whatever you choose will be right for you! Wishing you success 💕
Im currently 34 and we chose to not test our embryos, not due to the lawsuit but just because we wanted to have somewhat close to a natural cycle while going through this process. I did my research and you can get PGT A testing and it still can fail due to other reasons. So I felt like to me, it wasnt worth it. But go with your gut and your instinct
