A Complete Guide to PGT-A in IVF and Surrogacy

Описание: Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidy (PGT-A) has become one of the most talked-about tools in IVF and surrogacy—but it’s also one of the most misunderstood.

In this video, we offer a complete, easy-to-understand guide to PGT-A, explaining how it works, who benefits most, and what the latest research actually shows.

🔬 In this video, you’ll learn:

What PGT-A is (and how it’s different from PGT-M & PGT-SR)

How embryos are biopsied and genetically tested

PGT-A pass rates by age group (including donor egg cycles)

Who should strongly consider PGT-A—and who may not need it

How PGT-A impacts implantation, miscarriage, and live birth rates

How to understand your PGT-A report:
👉 Euploid
👉 Aneuploid
👉 Mosaic embryos
👉 Segmental aneuploidy

Why PGT-A is commonly recommended in surrogacy cycles, especially when only 1–2 embryos are available

📊 Key insight:
Research shows that PGT-A significantly improves implantation and live birth rates in women 35 and older, while its benefit in younger patients may be more limited. This is why PGT-A is often used in donor egg IVF, recurrent pregnancy loss, and gestational surrogacy.

👶 PGT-A is commonly used by:

IVF patients over 35

Intended parents using donor eggs

Families pursuing surrogacy

Couples with repeated IVF failure or miscarriage

Parents planning elective single embryo transfer (eSET)

Families interested in sex selection for family balancing

⚠️ Important reminder:
PGT-A is a powerful screening tool—but it is not perfect. Mosaicism, technical limitations, and biological variation mean that results must always be interpreted with expert guidance.

If you’re considering IVF or surrogacy and want to understand whether PGT-A is right for you, this video will give you the clarity you need to make informed decisions.
