Introduction

What is genetic testing for?

There are a number of reasons why your doctor may recommend genetically testing your embryos – from maternal age to having a family history of a genetic condition – and PGT is classified into two broad categories support each of them:

  1. Screening for “normal” embryos, this is called Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidy (PGT-A)

  2. Testing for specific genetic conditions, this is referred to as Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Structural Rearrangements (PGT-SR) or Monogenetic diseases (PGT-M)

Who’s it for

You might want to use PGT-A if…

  • You wish to maximise your chances of a healthy pregnancy
  • You want to reduce your time to a healthy pregnancy
  • You have had miscarriages

You might want to use PGT-SR or PGT-M if…

  • You’ve had one or more terminations because your baby had a genetic condition
  • You already have a child with a serious genetic condition
  • You have a family history of a serious genetic condition

Triple your chances of success with PGT-A

Our research into eggs collections, embryo transfers and miscarriages shows that successful pregnancies double when PGTa testing has been applied.   In particular with women over the age of 38 years. 

We’ve helped many partners, individuals and LBGTQ+ couples start their family since we opened our clinic in 2010 and we have some of the highest success rates for IVF in the country.
