Should I thaw and biopsy my embryos?

Opinions needed!! I am torn and really want to hear others thoughts.

If you were me, would you thaw and PGTA test your embryos?

Background:
-We want one more kid (had one naturally 5 years ago)
-7 grade A and B embryos left
-2 IVF MMCs in the last year (both at 9-10 weeks)
-one loss confirmed genetically abnormal, other was inconclusive
-all other recurrent loss testing is normal, including clear hysteroscopy before last transfer

My doctor and genetic counselor still don’t recommend testing them given we were 30 at time of ER and likely “most are normal”. But my husband is very heavily leaning towards wanting to test. I am still on the fence mainly to concerns about ruining embryo quality.

Would love to hear stories you did TBR your embryos!

I’m coming here hoping for some advice!

My husband and I are going through IVF for what I thought was ovulation issues (PCOS) but now I’m wondering if it’s more…

For context we have 1 son who we conceived naturally and had a completely normal pregnancy and birth. He is 5. Since we have tried and tired. Experienced a few chemicals but nothing more than that.

We did not test our embryos. So I know that’s a possible factor. But both of our medicated FETs ended in MMCs at 9-10 weeks (found out at 11 week ultrasound). Both times had perfectly normal HCG rises, a few ultrasounds with perfect hearts beats and growth right on track. Then they just stopped…

Also should add pathology on our first loss came back as genetically normal.

Any advice, things I should push to test (beyond embryo genetics, we will be doing that)???
