Our Pre-Implantation Genetic Testing (PGT) Services
Choose the Right Path to a Healthier Pregnancy
At NewLife Fertility, we offer three advanced types of genetic embryo testing designed to reduce risks and improve outcomes during IVF. Whether you’re concerned about inherited conditions, previous miscarriages, or chromosomal health, these tests provide crucial insights before implantation.
Planning for a Healthy
Pregnancy
Check for Chromosomal Abnormalities
PGT-A screens embryos for the correct number of chromosomes, helping identify abnormalities like Down syndrome or other genetic issues. Testing is done on Day 5 embryos and helps improve the chances of a healthy pregnancy by selecting the best-quality embryos for transfer.
PGT-M (Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Monogenic Disorders)
Screen for Specific Inherited Conditions
If you or your partner are known carriers of a genetic disorder (like cystic fibrosis or Tay-Sachs), PGT-M helps identify embryos carrying that mutation. This test ensures only unaffected embryos are selected, supporting a safer and healthier outcome.
PGT-SR (Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Structural Rearrangements)
Detect Chromosomal Translocations
PGT-SR is used when one or both parents have a known chromosomal translocation or structural rearrangement. These can increase the risk of miscarriage or genetic conditions. This test allows us to identify embryos without these issues, improving your chances of a successful pregnancy.
Not sure which test is right for you?
We’ll help you decide based on your medical history, family background, and fertility goals.
