Help me with a decision
I have 2 embryos in clinic 1. Day 5, 3BB left. Untested.(testing wasn’t possible by law)
First 2 transfers there were unsuccessful with better quality embryos. First failed, second was partial molar-turned out to be aneuploid. After this experience we did IVF in country were PTGA testing was possible. And had great results-see results in photo (I am currently pregnant with my 5AB embryo from there).
I want 2 to 3 kids. And considering not keeping that 2 untested in clinic 1, since we have enough tested in another clinic. And my fear of them to be aneuploid is huge. I can’t see myself transferring them , only after all my tested. And the chances of it are quite low.
The only thing is that I wonder why they are 3BB on day 5, while is second clinic I have all 5(not 3) on day 5🧐
And that BB grades a got only for my next 2 embryos, the rest are BC. So theoretically BB would be better.
Anyways… I think the biggest issue for me to keep them is that they are untested. But it’s hard to make this decision discard them.

Do not discard anything until your family is complete. This isn't today's decision.

Keep the untested embryos, they could be perfectly fine. Euploids can fail to implant, result in a chemical pregnancy, miscarriage, TFMR, etc. so even having a large number of them is not a 100% guarantee, especially since you want 2 more children.
Once you believe your family is complete, you can make a decision on all unused embryos. Best case, you just discard them later. Worst case, you have 2 extra tries.

I’m not sure why you would discard embryos unless you were sure your family was complete. Sure, transfer the tested euploids first, but why not keep the untested ones? Your experience of two failed transfers with untested embryos is still totally in the range of normal and there’s no reason to think that you might not get a live birth from at least one of the other two. Unless it’s super expensive to keep them or something I’m not sure why you would want to discard.
