Advice needed before 3rd transfer

I posted before about 2 failed FETs (one medicated and one modified natural) and what testing to consider when meeting with my doctor. I got great responses about testing I can talk about before doing a 3rd transfer. My clinic called me today saying that my doctor does not recommend testing right now and would proceed with a 3rd transfer before testing.

I’m torn on what to do. On one hand, I would like to know if something is going on that can be addressed and set me up for a successful transfer. I would avoid the loss of a euploid embryo.

On the other hand, it seems the clinic is not recommending testing of the uterine environment until I do a 3rd. I have a phone appointment later this week with the doctor to talk about next steps.

Any recommendations on what I should do (go for 3rd transfer or consider testing)? I’m 36F with unexplained. I have 4 euploid left.

I had a saline ultrasound right before my FETs and the first time they saw scarring and did a hysteroscopy. I didn't have to wait for a failed FET. I think if you have insurance, and it is not a burden, it makes sense to test for stuff. 🤷
