What is Preimplantation Genetic Screening?
[TRANSCRIPT OF ANSWER]
“So your doctor asked you to consider doing preimplantation genetic screening. The only person who can do preimplantation genetic screening is a fertility clinic, and usually this in the context of Ivf and IVF, only in vitro fertilization, preimplantation genetic screening means I may take some cells that turn into the placenta and only the placenta only. We’re going to look at that DNA and see if your embryo is going to be healthy or not. And what does that mean? Is it at risk for being a miscarriage or is it going to potentially be a pregnancy? It is probably one of the most important ways for your fertility specialists to help you have one baby and not twins, and it will significantly improve your success rate from ivf. From one transfer.”
