When is the best time to do PGD testing?
PGD testing on day 5 of embryo development (blastocyst stage) and transfer of frozen embryos is recommended for best results. If you are going abroad for IVF-PGD, it is best to plan two trips (one for egg pickup and the other for embryo transfer), or one long trip of 7-8 weeks.
