Genetic Screening and Testing

PGT (Embryo Testing)

PGT refers to genetic testing of embryos during IVF. This page is a structure for your content team to finalize.

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.
