Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidy (PGT-A)

For many couples in India, the journey to parenthood is not always simple. The excitement of starting IVF often comes with fear, unanswered questions, and emotional exhaustion especially after repeated treatment failures or pregnancy losses. When every embryo represents hope, choosing the right one becomes incredibly important. This is where Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidy (PGT-A) offers reassurance and clarity during the IVF process.

At Pramukh IVF Center, we see this journey not just as a medical treatment but as a deeply personal experience. By combining advanced reproductive genetics with compassionate care, we help couples move forward with confidence and renewed hope.

What is Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidy (PGT-A)

Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidy (PGT-A) is an advanced genetic screening test performed during an IVF cycle to evaluate embryos for chromosomal abnormalities before they are transferred into the uterus.

Chromosomes carry genetic information that guides normal growth and development. A healthy embryo typically contains 46 chromosomes arranged in 23 pairs. When an embryo has extra or missing chromosomes known as aneuploidy it may fail to implant, result in early miscarriage, or lead to pregnancy complications.

One of the major challenges in IVF is that embryos that look healthy under a microscope may still carry chromosomal abnormalities that cannot be visually detected. PGT-A helps uncover these hidden genetic issues, allowing fertility specialists to identify embryos with the highest potential for successful implantation and healthy pregnancy outcomes.

At Pramukh IVF Center, PGT-A testing is conducted using advanced laboratory techniques, stringent quality control measures, and internationally accepted genetic testing protocols to ensure accuracy, safety, and ethical transparency.

How PGT-A Helps in Repeated Pregnancy Loss

Couples who have experienced multiple miscarriages often ask, “Why does this keep happening to us?” In many cases, the answer lies at the chromosomal level.

With genetic testing in IVF, embryos are screened before pregnancy begins. This process significantly reduces the chances of transferring embryos affected by chromosomal abnormalities, which are one of the leading causes of early pregnancy loss.

By transferring genetically normal embryos, the chances of implantation, pregnancy continuation, and live birth increase especially for couples who have suffered repeated losses.

The PGT-A Process Explained

The process begins with a standard IVF cycle. Eggs are retrieved and fertilized in the lab. Once embryos reach the blastocyst stage, a few cells are carefully biopsied and sent for testing.

These embryos are frozen while results are analyzed. Based on the report, doctors identify embryos with normal chromosomal structures and plan a future embryo transfer.

At Pramukh IVF Center, this process is carried out using internationally accepted lab standards, ensuring accuracy, safety, and ethical transparency.

Who Should Consider PGT-A?

This testing is especially beneficial for:

• Couples with two or more miscarriages
• Women above the age of 35
• Patients with failed IVF attempts
• Couples seeking recurrent miscarriage treatment options
• Those wanting to reduce emotional and financial strain

For Indian couples who have already gone through years of disappointment, this approach can help minimize uncertainty and improve confidence in the treatment plan.

Success Rates and Realistic Expectations

While pgt-a test does not guarantee pregnancy, it significantly improves the chances of success by reducing the risk of miscarriage. It also helps avoid multiple failed transfers, saving time, money, and emotional energy.

When combined with genetic testing in IVF, this approach offers a more personalized fertility journey, something increasingly valued by modern Indian couples.

Doctors at Pramukh IVF Center carefully evaluate each patient before recommending this testing, ensuring it is medically justified and ethically appropriate.

Is Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT-A)  Safe?

Yes. The procedure has been refined over many years and is considered safe when performed by experienced embryologists. Embryo biopsy is done at a stage where the embryo can continue developing normally.

Safety, transparency, and patient awareness remain core principles at Pramukh IVF Center, making it a trusted name in fertility care.

A Step Closer to Your Dream of Parenthood

Repeated pregnancy loss can make couples feel helpless, but modern fertility advancements have changed what is possible today. With pgt-a test, couples are no longer left guessing they can make informed, confident decisions about their future.

If you or your partner have experienced multiple miscarriages, understanding the role of genetics could be the turning point in your journey toward parenthood.

Science, compassion, and experience come together to offer renewed hope because every family deserves a chance to grow.
