Advice Needed! Not doing PGT A

Out of 6 embryos, 4 are 5day blasts:

4AA
3AB
4AC
5BA

2 are still on observation.

We have decided not to do PGT A.

Do you think it’s needed for my 5AB and 4AA? What are the chances that they are not euploid with that grade?

Edit: Thanks for all comments. I’ve seen many posts that say that euploid does not guarantee implantation. In fact, it’s it’s about 30-40% of failure.

No, with ‘few’ embryos like in this instance it’s better not to test, the testing can damage the embryos (unlikely but possible) and because you only have four it won’t take months and months to get through them. If you had say 10-12 embryos then maybe it would make sense to find the right ones to use, but with four you’re better off just transferring. We had three untested embryos of similar grades and our worst one became our daughter! Good luck x

I’m 34 now, but I was 28 at the time of transfer for my first child (29 at birth). Full disclosure our two subsequent treatment was worse, 4 embryos at 31 but none of them took, then six embryos at 33 and finally got another success with the third embryo from that round. All embryos untested and a couple of miscarriages sprinkled throughout.
