Ok, I have been in contact with several of my area INV specialty clinics as well as GIVF Institute about their Live Birth guarantee plans. Here's what I found- all offer Live Birth Guarantees with MS INV. BUT NONE will let me pay for the added PGD testing if I purchase the guaranteed plan. I want to have the full PGD as long as I am at it, might as well make sure the embryos are normal before INV. I do not understand why no one will let me do this with the live birth guaranteed plans. Makes no sense to me! I would really like to have the live birth guarantee, but not having the PGD option bothers me. They just say "we cannot guarantee sex". I understand, but why not let us make sure they are normal first. Is there any way around this? Should I really skip the birth guaranteed plans and just do a 4 cycle plan with MS PGD and hope we deliver a baby? Seems risky.

Any thoughts????

 Besides the clinic that the previous poster is using most do not offer a guarantee because you are cutting the amount of embyos in half by using PGD.  Once you do that it is no longer a shared risk (which is what you are looking at doing with a shared risk plan/get your money back if no baby plan).  Does that makes sense?  Most clinics do not do this when you are using PGD for gender selection.

i didn't know GIVF has a live birth guarantee plan with MS in IVF? the clinics i spoke with mostly were not able to offer guarantee plans if MS is used b/c they go through ARC (third party agency) i was told and ARC doesn't allow MS in it's plans. is this true, does anyone know?

our local clinic's guarantee plan is not really that either. it's a partial refund only if you choose to not do any future cycles with their clinic and you are BFN (the cycle still costs you $4K for just the IVF part) and the refund option is only on the first cycle. if you do a second cycle, you do not get any $ back from that first failed cycle or any refund if the 2nd cycle fails either.
