Preimplantation Genetic Screening PGS Per Embryo
Introduction to Preimplantation Genetic Screening (PGS)
Preimplantation Genetic Screening (PGS) per embryo is a revolutionary test designed for couples undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF). This test plays a crucial role in identifying genetic abnormalities in embryos before implantation, significantly enhancing the chances of a successful pregnancy. With advancements in technology, PGS provides valuable insights into the genetic health of embryos, allowing for informed decision-making during the IVF process.
What Does the Test Measure?
The PGS test detects chromosomal abnormalities in embryos, including aneuploidies, which can lead to miscarriage or genetic disorders in the offspring. By analyzing the genetic material of each embryo, healthcare providers can select the healthiest embryos for implantation.
Who Should Consider This Test?
Couples facing infertility issues, particularly those considering IVF, should consider PGS. This test is especially recommended for:
- Women over 35 years old
- Couples with a history of recurrent miscarriages
- Individuals with known genetic disorders
- Couples undergoing IVF for the first time
Understanding your genetic risks can help you make informed choices about your family planning.
Benefits of Taking the Test
- Increased Success Rates: By selecting genetically normal embryos, PGS increases the likelihood of a successful pregnancy.
- Reduced Miscarriage Rates: Identifying chromosomal abnormalities helps reduce the risk of miscarriage.
- Informed Decision-Making: Couples can make educated choices regarding embryo selection based on genetic health.
- Peace of Mind: Knowing that the embryos are genetically tested can alleviate anxiety during the IVF journey.
Understanding Your Results
Results from the PGS test are typically available within 1-2 days. A genetic counselor or your healthcare provider will discuss the results with you, explaining the implications for embryo selection and any next steps in your IVF journey.
