Genetic Testing

Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT)

Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT) is an advanced tool that helps give you the best possible chance of a healthy pregnancy and baby.

PGT is a specialised test that takes place during the IVF process. Once embryos have been created in the laboratory, a few cells are gently removed and sent to a genetics lab for analysis. This allows us to identify embryos with the best chance of developing into healthy pregnancies before they are transferred into the uterus.

The testing can look for chromosomal differences or specific inherited genetic conditions depending on your personal and family history. Dr Kaushi will discuss whether PGT is appropriate for your situation and guide you through every step, ensuring you understand the process and what to expect.

While no test can guarantee a pregnancy, PGT can provide greater clarity and peace of mind. It can also help reduce the risk of miscarriage and increase the likelihood of a healthy baby.
