IVF with Genetic Screening (IVF + PGT-A)

It is the combination of IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) and PGS (Preimplantation Genetic Screening), a laboratory technique that allows us to study the embryo DNA.

IVF + PGS is the combination of in vitro fertilization (IVF) and PGT-A (former PGS), a preimplantation genetic screening to detect eventual alterations in embryos chromosome number (aneuploidies).

What is In Vitro Fertilization with Genetic Screening (IVF + PGT-A)?

IVF + PGS is the combination of in vitro fertilization (IVF) and PGT-A (former PGS), a preimplantation genetic screening to detect eventual alterations in embryos chromosome number (aneuploidies).

Normally, each human cell contains 23 pairs of chromosomes: half comes from the mother and the other half from the father. However, sometimes this number of chromosomes is altered, which is known as aneuploidy. A higher or lower number of chromosomes could lead to implantation failures or complications during embryo and fetal development.

The Fertile Group offers the possibility to perform PGT-A to reduce the risk of miscarriage and increase the chances to deliver a healthy baby free of specific chromosomal syndromes.

The procedure

The IVF procedure with PGT-A follows the same guidelines of a traditional in vitro fertilization cycle: ovarian stimulation, puncture and egg retrieval, laboratory fertilization and embryo culture to blastocyst. Only after this stage, an embryo biopsy is performed before the cryopreservation.

The biopsied cells undergo PGT-A

The biopsied cells undergo PGT-A, the preimplantation genetic screening aimed to confirm that the embryo number of chromosomes is correct or if there is any abnormality in any of the 23 pairs of chromosomes of each embryo.

After having obtained the analysis results

After having obtained the analysis results (approximately 10 days), The Fertile Group medical team will identify the euploid embryos and choose the right candidate to be thawed and transferred to the mother's womb.

The Fertile Group offers the possibility to perform PGT-A to reduce the risk of miscarriage and increase the chances to deliver a healthy baby free of specific chromosomal syndromes.

Results

A blood pregnancy test will be performed after 11 days as in a conventional in vitro fertilization.
