If you have been researching IVF treatment online, there is a good chance that you may have already come across PGT-A<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Previously known as preimplantation genetic screening or PGS, PGT-A is an IVF treatment add-on that involves taking a cell or a small number of cells from an embryo and checking for abnormalities in the number of chromosomes. By doing this, the doctor can determine which embryos have less chance of developing into a baby or may result in a baby being born with a genetic condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once the cell sample has been removed, the embryos will be frozen and, if suitable, they can be used for a frozen embryo transfer (FET) at a later date. Only embryos without chromosomal abnormalities will be used in treatment. PGT-A is a particularly useful treatment when there has been a failed round of IVF with no clear explanation as to why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A cycle with PGT-A included will be more expensive than your average IVF treatment package as this may also involve embryo freezing and a FET to pay on top of PGT-A costs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the UK, PGT-A is not funded under the NHS. At a private fertility clinic, you can expect to pay anywhere between \u00a31,600 and \u00a33,000-plus for PGT-A on a set of four embryos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PGT-A is traditionally offered to women over the age of 37, as older women are statistically more likely to have eggs with the wrong number of chromosomes. According to the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA), abnormal chromosomes are thought to be the main reason why older women have difficulties conceiving and are more likely to have a miscarriage or a baby with Down\u2019s Syndrome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your doctor may also recommend PGT-A if you have a family history of chromosome problems, if your sperm is at risk of carrying abnormal chromosomes, or if you\u2019ve had several miscarriages or failed IVF attempts without explanation. Although PGT-A is a great way to detect chromosomal abnormalities, it cannot check for specific diagnosis. There is also no guarantee that testing will prevent miscarriage or result in a live birth, as there are many other factors that can impact the final result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However there are many couples and single women who have benefitted from PGT-A and after years of trying to conceive, the treatment was able to help them finally achieve their dreams of having a baby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here we will look at three different case studies who underwent PGT-A and went on to have a successful outcome. This data was provided by embryologists at the EmBIO IVF Center in Greece<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
