Helping You Choose the Healthiest Embryo, Before Pregnancy Begins
For many couples, especially those with a history of failed IVF, miscarriages, or inherited disorders, conception is just one part of the story — ensuring a healthy baby is the ultimate goal. At Sparsh IVF, we offer Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT) to help select embryos that are genetically normal, giving you the best possible chance at a successful pregnancy and a healthy child.
PGT is a sophisticated technique used during IVF to analyze the chromosomes or genes of embryos before implantation. It allows us to identify:
This testing is done before the embryo is transferred into the uterus, helping couples avoid difficult decisions later in pregnancy.
| Test | Full Form | Purpose | Who It’s For |
|---|---|---|---|
| PGT-A | Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidy | Screens for chromosomal abnormalities (e.g., Down syndrome, Turner syndrome) | Women over 35, recurrent miscarriage, IVF failures |
| PGT-M | Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Monogenic Disorders | Detects single-gene inherited conditions (e.g., Thalassemia, Cystic Fibrosis) | Couples who are known carriers of genetic diseases |
Both tests involve a biopsy of a few cells from a blastocyst-stage embryo (Day 5 or 6) and are done without harming the embryo.
PGT is especially helpful in the following situations:
By identifying healthy embryos upfront, PGT helps increase IVF success while reducing the risk of miscarriage or genetic disorders.
Eggs are fertilized via IVF or ICSI. Embryos are cultured to the blastocyst stage (Day 5 or 6).
A few cells (5–7) are gently removed from the outer layer (trophectoderm) of the embryo. The inner cell mass — which becomes the baby — is untouched.
Samples are sent to an accredited genetic lab where advanced techniques like Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) are used to identify chromosomal or genetic errors.
After biopsy, embryos are vitrified (flash-frozen) while results are processed.
Based on the report, the healthiest, chromosomally normal embryos are selected and transferred in a future Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET) cycle.
Yes. The embryo biopsy is performed by highly trained embryologists using micromanipulation tools. Studies show that when done correctly:
At Sparsh IVF, all PGT procedures follow international guidelines and ethical protocols.
With PGT-A, the success of embryo implantation improves by 15–25%, especially in:
Our team works closely with genetic counselors and lab specialists to interpret reports and guide next steps.
PGT involves additional lab procedures and analysis, so it’s priced separately from standard IVF. At Sparsh IVF, we offer transparent PGT pricing with options to customize based on:
We also offer EMI support and financial counseling to help make this decision stress-free.
We don’t just treat infertility. We support healthy, informed parenthood.
PGT empowers you to make decisions before pregnancy — not during it. At Sparsh IVF, we bring you closer to your dream of a healthy baby, backed by science, ethics, and care.
