OK, now that I'm ready to talk about Friday's appointment, I have questions for those who have done PGD. When I was reading online, I only saw information about PGD done on day 3, with a day 5 transfer. My RE was talking about that option, but also about doing a biopsy on day 5 and freezing the embryos for later FET. Did y'all have that option? Did y'all do day 3 biopsies or day 5? Did you get more/better embryos to transfer by doing day 5 biopsy? At this point, we might have to insist on day 3 biopsy and day 5 transfer because our insurance doesn't cover freezing, and we can't afford the cost of freezing, storage, and thawing. Everything else is covered by insurance, but not that.
I did find out from the insurance company today that there is no waiting for approval for IVF since we're using an in-network clinic. Now I just need to hear from the case managers at the insurance company about where is in network for PGD and fertility pharmacies, as well as whether a day 5 biopsy and later FET would count as 1 cycle or 2, since apparently insurance companies differ in how they count that. Since we get three cycles per live birth covered, that is a key question!
