Why add PGS to an IVF cycle?
PGS, now also known as Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidies (PGT-A), is a procedure that checks for the presence of an abnormal number of chromosomes in embryos before the embryo transfer in IVF.

Honest conversations
We take the time to understand your previous fertility history.
We only believe in open and honest conversations when it comes to fertility treatment, and genetic testing is no exception.
PGS is not suitable for all patients, but if one of our consultants and embryologists makes a recommendation to include PGS as part of your fertility treatment, they will take the time to explain why and how this will impact your chances of a successful pregnancy.

How does PGS fit into an IVF or ICSI cycle?
There are a number of different reasons why you may not be getting pregnant or experiencing recurrent miscarriage, and whereas PGS doesn’t fix everything, it can help make informed decisions for future fertility treatment plans, and may also shorten the length of time needed to achieve a successful pregnancy.

What happens?
PGS
What happens?
You will commence your IVF or ICSI cycle on your schedule, and after egg collection and insemination, our highly skilled embryologists will remove a few cells from the embryo, which will then be tested for any chromosomal abnormalities.
The embryos are then frozen whilst we await the results of the genetic testing.

Approximately two weeks later, you will receive your results and we will arrange for you to meet with both your consultant and an embryologist to discuss either repeat cycles, or any further treatment before frozen embryo transfer can commence.

Improving chances
Several studies show a significant increase in live birth rates per embryo transferred and a decrease in miscarriage rates.
They also demonstrate constant low miscarriage rates across all age groups after the transfer of a normal embryo, however, it should be noted that there is no guarantee against a miscarriage occurring despite PGS being performed.
