Comprehensive chromosomal testing

New techniques allow us to examine all of the chromosomes in an embryo, particularly to see if an embryo lacks or has additional chromosomes.

Why might I have chromosomal testing?

This technique, also referred to as pre-implantation genetic testing (PGT), may be helpful for patients who have had multiple IVF failures or for older women who produce more genetically irregular eggs.

More recent research suggests that younger women may also produce large numbers of irregular eggs during IVF treatment and may also benefit from this procedure by achieving higher than average success rates and limiting multiple pregnancies.
