Interesting.

We have been undergoing IVF with my wife since 2019. (Covid made a huge mess of those plans...) One of our embryos tested as a possible positive (but only slightly) for aneuploidy of one chromosome.

The doctor, a veteran of IVF, looked at the results and said "my experience is that this is either a very small mosaic error, which tends to be utterly invisible in real life, or a computer artifact. I have never seen embryos with those borderline results develop any serious problems later. Things would be different if the aneuploidy signals were clear, but definitely do not discard this embryo".

Good luck, keep up your hope. I hope things work out for you.
