Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT): A Smart Step Toward Healthy Par

Planning for a healthy pregnancy is an exciting yet careful journey. For couples undergoing IVF, the concern of passing on genetic conditions or facing repeated IVF failures can be overwhelming. This is where Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT) comes in — a revolutionary technique that allows us to check embryos for genetic abnormalities before implantation, significantly improving the chances of a healthy pregnancy. At Conceiva Fertility, under the expert care of Dr. Spoorthy Chennamaneni, we offer advanced PGT services to help couples achieve their dream of parenthood with greater confidence and peace of mind.

What is PGT?

Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT) is a specialized genetic screening performed on embryos created during IVF. Before the embryo is transferred to the uterus, a few cells are carefully biopsied and tested for chromosomal abnormalities or genetic disorders. This helps select the healthiest embryo for transfer, reducing the risk of miscarriage or inherited conditions.

There are three types of PGT:

• PGT-A (for aneuploidy): Checks for missing or extra chromosomes.

• PGT-M (for monogenic disorders): Screens for specific inherited single-gene conditions.

• PGT-SR (for structural rearrangements): Identifies structural chromosome abnormalities.

Who Should Consider PGT?

At Conceiva Fertility, we recommend PGT testing for couples facing:

• Repeated IVF failures or miscarriages

• Maternal age above 35 years

• Known genetic disorders in the family

• Previous pregnancies with chromosomal abnormalities

• Severe male factor infertility

Benefits of PGT

The biggest advantage of Preimplantation Genetic Testing is the ability to select embryos with the correct number of chromosomes, improving implantation success rates and reducing the risk of pregnancy loss. It also minimizes the chances of passing on hereditary diseases and helps avoid difficult decisions during pregnancy.

For couples who have faced multiple setbacks, PGT testing can bring hope and clarity, ensuring that only healthy embryos are transferred.

How is PGT done at Conceiva Fertility?

At Conceiva Fertility, we follow a careful and precise process:

• Embryos are created through IVF and cultured to the blastocyst stage.

• A safe biopsy is performed to remove a few cells without harming the embryo.

• The biopsied cells are sent for advanced genetic analysis.

• After receiving results, only chromosomally normal and healthy embryos are selected for transfer.

Our team works with utmost precision and compassion, ensuring that couples feel fully informed and supported throughout the process.
