GENETIC IVF ICSI PRECEDURE

let's call you

    Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD)

    Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis, which we call PGS for short, is a diagnostic method that makes it possible for us to choose healthy embryos in cases where different genetic problems occur or potentially occur with the biopsy we apply to the developed embryos. Preimplantation (PGD) is among the methods that increase success in IVF.

    What is the Genetic Applied IVF Method?

    The human embryo contains 46 chromosomes. The increase or decrease in the number of chromosomes is the main reason in 50% of the pregnancies in which the embryo fails to attach to the uterus or results in miscarriage. The genetically applied in vitro fertilization method is the method that determines the number of chromosomes in the embryo by the tests applied before and ensures that the healthiest embryo is used for the in vitro fertilization method.

    How is it different from the classical IVF method?

    There is not much difference in practice with the classical IVF method. In the classical IVF method, the highest quality eggs are taken from the ovaries, fertilized and the embryos formed are sent into the uterus. In the genetic in vitro fertilization method, the chromosome numbers are examined before the eggs are sent to the uterus after fertilization, and the most suitable embryo is used by scanning the chromosomes in order to prevent failures related to the number of chromosomes during or after pregnancy.

    What are the benefits of PGS and to whom is it recommended to be applied?

    In the in vitro fertilization method, embryos obtained from the ovaries are evaluated morphologically according to their developmental characteristics and according to defined criteria. Pregnancy is tried to be obtained by examining the best quality embryos. Embryos examined under the microscope are not sufficient to obtain information about chromosome numbers and structures. However, this information can be accessed by the PSG genetic screening method. The main purpose of the PSG diagnostic method is to use the embryo with the most suitable chromosome number and structure in the in vitro fertilization method. In this way, the embryo attaches to the uterus or to reduce the possibility of miscarriage due to the number of chromosomes after attachment.

    Who Is It Recommended To?

    • If the age of the expectant mother is 40 and over,
    • In vitro fertilization failures where pregnancy could not be achieved despite quality embryo transfer before,
    • Embryo chromosome examination (PSG) is performed for couples who do not have a problem in conceiving, but who experience 2 or more pregnancy losses, especially in the 2nd and 3rd months.
