Deeper Insight Into Your Embryos
Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidy (PGT-A) assesses each embryo's chromosome number before transfer and helps your specialist discuss the most appropriate transfer plan. PGT-A was formerly known as Preimplantation Genetic Screening (PGS).
What to Expect
A connected sequence of treatment steps from the first consultation through follow-up.
IVF or ICSI Cycle
PGT-A begins with an IVF or ICSI cycle to create embryos suitable for testing.
Embryo Biopsy
Once embryos have developed for several days, our embryologists carefully take a small number of cells from each embryo selected for testing. The procedure is performed under high-powered microscopy and is designed to leave the embryo itself intact.
Genetic Screening
The biopsied cells are sent to a specialist genetics laboratory, where chromosomes are analysed for numerical abnormalities. Results typically return within a few days.
Results & Consultation
Your specialist reviews the results with you clearly and carefully — explaining what was found, which embryos are suitable for transfer, and what this means for your next steps.
Transfer of Selected Embryo
An embryo confirmed to have the correct number of chromosomes is transferred in a carefully timed frozen embryo transfer cycle. Any remaining suitable embryos can be stored for future use.
