Reduce your chances of passing on hereditary genetic conditions with preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) and screening (PGS/PGT-A). Contact us to speak with a fertility expert that can help you address this concern.
While undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment, you or your partner can ensure a healthy, happy pregnancy by screening the embryos before going through the embryo transfer procedure. Your doctors will explain in further detail what happens during these tests and provide you and your partner with information on what to do next after completion.
Preimplantation genetic testing is a rapidly evolving area of reproductive science, and is beneficial for you or your partner to identify genetic disease and chromosomal abnormalities before conceiving. A baby's gender can also be determined through these techniques, allowing you to select a gender if desired.
PGD is used to identify a specific disease which you or your partner may already be aware of, and test for the probability of it being passed down to your baby. An example would be Cystic Fibrosis.
PGS (also known as PGT-A) is used to examine your embryo's overall chromosomes level if you or your partner would like to find out about any potential genetic abnormalities. This is often performed if you are older than 37, as advancing age increases your eggs' risk of genetic abnormalities.
Note: If you’ve had numerous miscarriages or repeated IVF failures you are also a good candidate. Some intended parents simply use PGD or PGS to increase the chances of conceiving.
Over the past 20 years, vast improvements have been made in embryo biopsy techniques and genetics technologies, increasing your chances of conceiving. Here's what you or your partner can to expect for one or both of these procedures:
The cost of PGD and PGS are included in our unlimited plan with IVF and also available on its own. Learn more about the associated costs with preimplantation genetic screening and diagnosis by visiting our page on treatment costs.

Mitigate the risk of passing down genetic disorders or chromosomal abnormalities for your baby. If you and your partner have a recessive disorder, chances of genetic inheritance in reproduction is 25%.
Regardless of where you are in the world, you’ll still be able to take part in preimplantation genetic screening as we know how to effectively ship needed medications and blood and semen samples internationally.
For gender selection, these tests detect the sex of an embryo with almost 100% accuracy. Some parents turn to this to balance their family, remove the chances of genetic disorders, or fulfill their desires of having a baby boy or girl.
