What you should know
Testing may help guide embryo selection in some settings, but it also has limits. A sample may not reflect every cell in an embryo. Some results are uncertain. Testing adds cost and may mean that some embryos are not offered for transfer. ASRM has stated that routine PGT-A for all IVF patients has not shown clear benefit.
What to ask your care team
“How might testing change my chance of a live birth per retrieval, not just per transfer?”
One important reminder
PGT-A is a screening test and cannot guarantee a healthy baby.
Before your next visit
Write down your questions. Bring your medicine list and any test results you have. Ask for a plan in writing. If an answer is not clear, ask your team to explain it in a different way.
