Our goal is to increase the likelihood of a successful pregnancy by selecting a genetically normal embryo.

Genetic analysis allows chromosomal abnormalities to be detected at an early stage.

Preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) is a highly specialised procedure that makes it possible to examine embryos for chromosomal abnormalities or specific monogenic hereditary diseases before their transfer into the uterus.
Abnormalities such as aneuploidies, i.e. deviations from the normal number of chromosomes, are one of the most common causes of impaired embryo development and can affect the success of fertility treatment. That is why chromosomal analysis of embryos is very useful in selecting a suitable embryo for transfer.
The aim of preimplantation genetic testing is to identify an embryo in which no genetic or chromosomal abnormalities are found during the PGT.

Genetic testing of embryos is recommended primarily in the following situations:

Several IVF cycles have been unsuccessful.

Repeated miscarriages have occurred.

There is an increased risk of chromosomal anomalies in the embryo.

There is a risk that the child may suffer from a serious hereditary disease.

There was a previous pregnancy in which a chromosomal anomaly was detected in the foetus.

Why consider genetic testing as part of the assisted reproduction process?

Genetic testing of embryos can help to:

shorten the path to a successful pregnancy,

reduce the number of transfers required,

lower the risk of miscarriage,

increase the likelihood of successful embryo implantation.

An important part of our programme is advanced preimplantation genetic testing. These clinically validated procedures make it possible to identify embryos with the correct number of chromosomes and to select those with the highest chances of healthy development.

Studies and clinical practice show that the use of genetic testing in suitable patients can increase the likelihood of pregnancy by up to 20%.

Preimplantation genetics: a modern method for selecting embryos

At FertiCare, we use advanced genetic tests such as PGT-A Seq / Array CGH to check the number of chromosomes in an embryo before transfer into the uterus. This helps us select the best embryo for transfer.

A shorter path to pregnancy – Selecting an embryo with the correct number of chromosomes can reduce the number of unsuccessful transfers and shorten the time until pregnancy is achieved.

A lower risk of miscarriage – An abnormal number of chromosomes is a common cause of early miscarriages. Genetic testing can help identify such embryos before transfer.

More precise embryo selection – Modern genetic procedures can detect chromosomal abnormalities and support the doctor in selecting a suitable embryo for transfer.

Single embryo transfer (sET) – A more precise selection can make it easier to decide to transfer only one suitable embryo, thereby reducing the risks associated with a multiple pregnancy.
