Is PGD Testing Really Worth It?
Is PGD Testing Really Worth It?
Yes. According to renowned fertility specialist, Dr. Randy S. Morris, Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) is a phenomenal medical science innovation enhancing the success of In Vitro Fertilization (IVF). Through PGD, testing can be performed on embryos developing in vitro to detect:
- Abnormalities in Chromosome Number
- Recurrent Miscarriage
- Translocator
- Hereditary Cancer
- Genetic Mutations
- Tissue Typing
PGD Testing
PGD testing takes place in conjunction with IVF in a controlled laboratory setting. Approximately three days after fertilization, embryos developing in vitro are screened by removing a single cell for testing. After analysis of the cell, a decision is made as to which embryo is the best for transferring into the woman’s uterus. Also, only quality embryos are transferred for future Frozen Embryo Transfers (FET).Genetic ScreeningA single cell’s genetic makeup is analyzed and – based upon the results – parents are able to determine which embryo they desire to have transferred for implantation into the woman’s uterus.PGD offers hopeful parents-to-be the opportunity to:
- Screen out embryos carrying a genetic disease
- Predict the risk of a disease
- Improve birth rates of healthy babies through IVF
PGD has been successfully performed by Dr. Randy Morris for over a decade and thousands of babies have been born as a benefit of this phenomenal technology.Through PGD, today’s parents can choose the sex of their baby.Affordable PGD Testing at IVF1
