Dear Peter,

You very kindly replied to my query ref. whether to go to US/Canada or do PGD in UK. (me age 44, first ivf at LFC ended in blighted ovum. However, embryology looked good - 9 eggs, 6 fert. 3 transferred,all 8 cell,2 compacting).

You advised me to stay in UK for PGD. My question is my own clinic doesn't do PGD so I will have to go to one of the other UK pgd clinics. I guess you can't endorse a particular clinic, but how would you advise I choose which one to go to.
Is it down to length of time they have been doing PGD, on their live birth stats for my age? ... and how can you tell how good an embryology dept. is?

I know these are difficult questions but I really want to make the most effective decision given my lack of time. I also think my current clinic (LFC) are very good and would stay with them but am convinced that my best chance is with PGD given my age.

Thanks again for your attention.
Daisy

Dear Daisy,

I suggest that you enquire at the CARE empire in the UK, their base is in Nottingham. They are very good at PGD.

Good luck!
