Preimplantation Genetic Screening /Testing (PGT)
Preimplantation Genetic Screening /Testing and Diagnosis (PGT-A): Advanced Infertility Solutions at Mediworld Fertility
Infertility can be a frustrating and overwhelming experience for couples looking to start a family. At Mediworld Fertility, we offer a range of advanced infertility solutions, including Preimplantation Genetic Screening and Diagnosis (PGT-A). This state-of-the-art procedure offers a range of benefits, helping to improve the chances of a successful pregnancy.
What is PGT-A?
PGT-A is a genetic testing procedure performed on embryos prior to implantation. The test analyzes the genetic makeup of the embryos to determine if they are free from chromosomal abnormalities and genetic disorders. This information can then be used to determine which embryos are the most viable for implantation, increasing the chances of successful pregnancy.
The Benefits of PGT-A
PGT-A offers several advantages over traditional infertility treatments, including:
- Increased success rates: By testing embryos for genetic abnormalities, PGT-A increases the chances of a successful pregnancy by selecting only the healthiest embryos for implantation.
- Reduced risk of miscarriage: By selecting only the healthiest embryos, the risk of miscarriage is reduced, helping couples avoid the emotional toll of a failed pregnancy.
- Improved IVF outcomes: PGT-A can improve the chances of successful IVF outcomes by selecting only the healthiest embryos for transfer.
PGT-A Procedure
The PGT-A procedure is performed as part of an IVF cycle. After eggs are retrieved, they are fertilized in the laboratory to form embryos. Once the embryos have reached the blastocyst stage (5-6 days after fertilization), a small sample of cells is removed for genetic testing. The test results are then used to determine which embryos are the most viable for transfer.
Who is Eligible for PGT-A?
PGT-A is designed for couples undergoing IVF who have a history of infertility, genetic disorders, or a high risk of chromosomal abnormalities. The procedure may also be recommended for women over the age of 35, as the risk of chromosomal abnormalities increases with age.
Preparation for PGT-A
Before undergoing PGT-A, patients will undergo several pre-operative tests and evaluations to determine if the procedure is right for them. This may include a semen analysis, hormone tests, and ultrasound. In order to maximize the chances of success, patients may also need to make certain lifestyle changes, such as quitting smoking or reducing alcohol consumption.
Conclusion
Infertility can be a frustrating and overwhelming experience for couples, but with PGT-A, the chances of successful pregnancy can be increased. Offered at Mediworld Fertility, this advanced infertility solution provides a range of benefits, including increased success rates, reduced risk of miscarriage, and improved IVF outcomes.
