Preimplanation Genetic Screening (PGT-A)

Preimplanation Genetic Screening (PGT-A)

One of the main reasons IVF might not work, or why some experience the heartache of recurrent miscarriage, can be due to chromosome differences in the embryo. That’s where PGT-A (Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidy) can make a real difference. We can carefully select embryos with the correct number of chromosomes for transfer, potentially bringing your dream of a family sooner.

Who might benefit from PGT-A?

PGT-A isn't for everyone, but it can be particularly helpful for:

  • Women over 35: As we age, the chance of eggs having an incorrect number of chromosomes increases.
  • Couples with a history of recurrent miscarriages: Chromosomal abnormalities are a common cause of miscarriage.
  • Couples who have had several unsuccessful IVF attempts: PGT-A can help select the embryos with the highest chance of implantation.
  • Couples seeking the highest chance of success from a single embryo transfer.

How does PGT-A work?

  1. IVF Cycle: You'll go through a standard IVF cycle to create embryos.
  2. Biopsy: A few cells are carefully removed from the outer layer of the developing embryo (blastocyst). This is a safe procedure and doesn't harm the embryo.
  3. Testing: The cells are sent to a specialised laboratory to analyse the number of chromosomes.
  4. Freezing: The embryos are frozen while we wait for the test results.
  5. Embryo Selection & Transfer: Once the results are back, we'll select the embryos with the correct number of chromosomes for transfer.
