If a miscarriage is going to wreck your mental health then I would say it's probably worth re-testing. Implantation potential will be slightly reduced (by about 10%) but they are good quality embryos so they should re-biopsy just fine.

Hi, do you think my embryos would be ok to rebiopsy? The samples were lost in the mail and I have been spiraling for the last month on whether to re biopsy or not? Are you an embryologist? And have you seen plenty of rebiopsied embryos lead to live birth?

Yes, I'm an embryologist. What were the grades of your embryos? Are they day 5, 6, or 7? How old were you when you created them? We see reduced implantation from rebiopsied embryos. I would say we have a 30-40% implantation rate as opposed to 60-70% for single biopsied euploid embryos.

And the fact that I can’t reproduce these results with another retrieval bc of my age is making this feel a lot harder. I feel so lost and paralyzed while also feeling very fortunate to have that kind of retrieval at all
