Who it’s for
- Recurrent pregnancy loss or repeated implantation failure (selected cases)
- Known genetic conditions in the family (PGT-M where applicable)
- Advanced maternal age (case-dependent)
Typical steps
1
IVF and embryo culture
Embryos are grown to biopsy stage.
2
Embryo biopsy
A few cells are biopsied and embryos are typically frozen.
3
Testing and reporting
Lab reports results and a transfer plan is made.
Risks and considerations
- Not every embryo reaches biopsy stage
- Testing does not guarantee pregnancy or a healthy baby
FAQs
Does PGT guarantee success?▾
No. PGT can reduce the risk of transferring embryos with certain chromosomal issues, but it does not guarantee pregnancy or a healthy baby. It is one piece of the overall IVF plan.
How long do results take?▾
Most labs return results in about 1–3 weeks. Your doctor will plan the transfer timeline once the report is available.
