What Is PGT? When Should You Consider It?

How Chromosome Screening Helps Reduce Miscarriage & Improve IVF Success

Many couples ask: “Do we really need PGT?”

Here’s a simple, clear explanation.

🔬 What Is PGT?

PGT (Preimplantation Genetic Testing) is a test that analyzes the chromosomes of embryos before they are transferred into the uterus.

It helps identify whether an embryo is:

- Chromosomally normal (euploid)

- Chromosomally abnormal (aneuploid)

How it works:

- A few cells are gently biopsied from a Day 5–6 embryo

- The cells are tested using advanced genetic technology

- Only healthy, chromosomally normal embryos are selected for transfer

✨ Why Does PGT Improve IVF Success?

More than 50–70% of failed implantations and miscarriages

are caused by chromosome abnormalities that cannot be seen under a microscope.

👶 When Should You Consider PGT?

PGT is especially recommended for couples who have:

✔ Women aged 35+

Eggs at this age are more likely to have chromosomal errors.

✔ Recurrent miscarriages

Many miscarriages are caused by chromosomal abnormalities.

✔ Multiple failed IVF cycles

PGT helps identify the strongest embryos for transfer.

✔ Known genetic conditions in the family

Such as thalassemia, translocations, or other inheritable diseases.

✔ Limited number of embryos

PGT helps make every transfer count.

PGT isn’t required for everyone, but it is a powerful tool that helps fertility specialists:

- Select the healthiest embryos

- Reduce miscarriage

- Increase IVF success rates in the safest, most efficient way
