PGT-A

1. PGT-A (Aneuploidy Screening)

PGT-A, formerly known as PGS (Preimplantation Genetic Screening), focuses on the screening of embryos for numerical chromosomal abnormalities, known as aneuploidies. These abnormalities, such as extra or missing chromosomes, are often associated with failed implantation, miscarriages, or certain genetic disorders.
  1. Increased Pregnancy Success:
    PGT-A helps identify chromosomally normal embryos, increasing the chances of successful implantation and reducing the risk of miscarriage.
  2. Reduced Risk of Genetic Disorders:
    PGT-A can identify embryos with significant chromosomal abnormalities, allowing the selection of embryos free from common aneuploidies such as Down syndrome, Turner syndrome, or other chromosomal disorders.
     

Mosaicism:
PGT-A may encounter mosaic results, where embryos exhibit a mixture of normal and abnormal cells. The clinical significance and implantation potential of mosaic embryos are still under debate, and further testing or consultation with a genetic counselor may be recommended.

The process

Step-by-Step FET Process:

Endometrial Preparation

To prepare the uterus for embryo transfer, a carefully controlled hormonal protocol is initiated. This typically involves a combination of estrogen medication to thicken the uterine lining and progesterone medication to prepare the endometrium for embryo implantation. The protocol may vary depending on individual needs and circumstances.

Monitoring and Synchronization

Throughout the endometrial preparation phase, regular monitoring is conducted to track the development of the uterine lining. Ultrasound scans and hormonal assessments are performed to ensure the optimal thickness and receptivity of the endometrium. The timing of the embryo transfer is synchronized with the readiness of the uterus.

Thawing and Preparation of Embryos

The FET process begins with the thawing of cryopreserved embryos. Our experienced embryologists carefully handle the frozen embryos, using specialized techniques to ensure their viability. The embryos are gradually warmed to room temperature, and their quality and developmental status are assessed.

Embryo Transfer

Once the endometrium has reached the desired thickness and receptivity, the frozen embryos are ready for transfer. The procedure is similar to that of fresh embryo transfer and is typically performed without the need for anesthesia. A thin catheter is used to gently place the selected embryos into the uterus. The number of embryos transferred is determined based on various factors, including embryo quality, patient age, and personal preferences.

Post-Transfer Care and Pregnancy Test

Following the embryo transfer, you will receive post-transfer care instructions to optimize implantation and support early pregnancy. Approximately two weeks after the transfer, a pregnancy test will be conducted to determine the success of the FET procedure.

Advanced Cryopreservation Technology

Our fertility centre is equipped with state-of-the-art cryopreservation technology, ensuring the safe and effective freezing, storage, and thawing of embryos. We adhere to stringent quality control measures to preserve the viability of your embryos throughout the freezing and thawing process.

PGT techniques

It is important to note that PGT techniques are not without risks and limitations. The success of PGT relies on several factors, including the quality of embryos, the accuracy of testing methods, and the expertise of the laboratory performing the analysis.

Consulting with a fertility specialist and a genetic counselor is crucial to understand the specific risks, benefits, and suitability of PGT based on individual circumstances.

Empower your journey towards a healthy pregnancy and childbirth with the precision of PGT. Contact our knowledgeable team of fertility specialists to explore the possibilities of PGT and determine the most appropriate approach for your unique situation.

Together, we can navigate the path to a healthy and joyful family.
