Unveiling the Steps Involved in PGT-A: Ensuring Genetic Health for Successful Pregnancy

on

  

Are you considering fertility treatment and want to ensure a healthy pregnancy? PGT-A, also known as Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidy, is a groundbreaking technique that offers invaluable insights into the genetic health of embryos. At Aspire Fertility Center in Bangalore, we provide comprehensive PGT-A services, guided by our commitment to personalized care and successful outcomes. In this article, we will walk you through the step-by-step process of PGT-A and how it plays a crucial role in ensuring genetic health for a successful pregnancy.

What is PGT-A?

PGT-A is an advanced technique that allows us to examine the genetic health of embryos before implantation. By analyzing the chromosome count of embryos, we can identify those with a normal genetic makeup, reducing the risk of genetic disorders and increasing the likelihood of successful implantation.

Patient Consultation and Assessment

The first step in PGT-A involves a thorough consultation and assessment with our experienced fertility specialists. We will discuss your medical history, perform a detailed evaluation, and understand your specific fertility goals.

Controlled Ovarian Stimulation and Egg Retrieval

To obtain viable embryos for testing, controlled ovarian stimulation is performed to stimulate the ovaries and enhance egg production. Once the eggs reach maturity, a minimally invasive procedure called egg retrieval is conducted to collect the eggs for further processing.

In vitro Fertilization (IVF) and Embryo Development

The retrieved eggs are fertilized with sperm in a laboratory using the IVF technique. The resulting embryos are carefully monitored as they undergo development for several days under optimal conditions.

Embryo Biopsy

At the appropriate stage of development, a small number of cells are safely and delicately removed from each embryo in a process called embryo biopsy. These cells contain the genetic material needed for analysis.

Genetic Analysis

The extracted cells are then subjected to comprehensive genetic analysis. PGT-A specifically focuses on screening for aneuploidy, which refers to abnormal chromosome numbers. This analysis helps identify embryos with a normal chromosome count, indicating a higher chance of successful implantation and a reduced risk of genetic disorders.

Embryo Transfer

Following the genetic analysis, our experts will select the healthiest embryos for transfer. The selected embryos are carefully transferred into the uterus, increasing the chances of successful implantation and pregnancy.
