Embryo Genetic Testing (PGT)

More Information for IVF Decision-Making

PGT is used during IVF to gather genetic information about embryos before transfer. For some patients, this can help guide transfer planning and reduce uncertainty when choosing between available embryos.

Personalized Recommendations Based on Your History

PGT is not automatically the right choice for every patient. We review your age, prior IVF outcomes, reproductive history, and specific concerns to help determine whether testing is likely to be useful in your treatment plan.

Clear Explanation of Testing Types and Limits

Genetic testing options can feel confusing at first. We explain the purpose of different testing pathways in straightforward language, including what results may clarify, what results may remain uncertain, and how findings are used in real-world care decisions.

Thoughtful Embryo Transfer Planning

When results are available, we walk through your options step by step. The goal is to build a transfer strategy that aligns with both clinical context and your personal priorities, without rushing decisions.

Coordinated Care With Ongoing Support

From embryo biopsy timing to result review and next-step planning, PGT involves multiple moving parts. Our team keeps communication consistent so you always understand what stage you are in and what comes next.

Our Process

Step 1: Consultation and Eligibility Review

We begin with a detailed review of your fertility history, IVF goals, and potential reasons to consider PGT. This helps us determine whether testing should be included in your individualized care plan.

Step 2: Testing Education and Informed Consent

Before treatment advances, we discuss available testing pathways, possible outcomes, and practical implications for transfer planning. We make sure you have time to ask questions and make an informed choice.

Step 3: IVF Cycle and Embryo Biopsy Coordination

During your IVF cycle, embryos are developed in the lab and biopsy timing is coordinated when appropriate. We provide clear guidance on timelines, embryo handling, and when results are typically expected.

Step 4: Results Review and Transfer Strategy

Once results return, we review them with you in plain language and outline transfer options based on embryo findings, overall clinical factors, and your preferences.

Step 5: Follow-Up and Future Planning

After transfer, we continue with follow-up and discuss planning for remaining embryos or future cycles when needed. Your care plan is adjusted based on outcomes and evolving family-building goals.
