Advanced Genetic Testing (PGT/PGS) for IVF in Bathinda

Advanced preimplantation genetic testing to ensure healthy embryo selection, lower genetic risks, and maximize your chance of a healthy family. Our clinic offers comprehensive support—from IVF & ICSI Treatment to managing high-risk pregnancy care.

What is Preimplantation Genetic Testing?

Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT/PGS) is a vital advancement in reproductive medicine, allowing couples to screen embryos for chromosomal or genetic abnormalities before transfer during an IVF & ICSI cycle. This targeted screening enables the selection of the healthiest embryos, increases the chances of a successful pregnancy, and greatly reduces the risk of transmitting hereditary disorders to your child. PGT/PGS is especially recommended if you plan to use Donor Egg or Sperm, or if you have a family history of genetic disease.

Types of Genetic Testing

PGT-A (Aneuploidy)

Screens embryos for missing or extra chromosomes, helping prevent Down syndrome, Turner syndrome, and other disorders.

PGT-M (Monogenic)

Tests embryos for specific single-gene disorders when one or both parents are known carriers—crucial for those with a history of inherited conditions or using Donor Egg/Sperm Programs.

PGT-SR (Structural Rearrangements)

Detects translocations or inversions in chromosomes that may cause miscarriage or birth defects, supporting successful, healthy pregnancies with your IVF & ICSI Treatment.

Carrier Screening

Both partners can be screened for genetic conditions—important if using third-party reproduction or with a family history of inherited disorders. Early detection helps plan high-risk pregnancy care if needed.

Pharmacogenomics

Analysis of your genes to guide medication choices for maximum safety and success during fertility treatments or pregnancy.

Next Generation Sequencing

Cutting-edge technology to thoroughly analyze embryo DNA, supporting best-in-class precision for your IVF & ICSI cycles and donor programs.

Who Can Benefit from Genetic Testing?

Advanced Maternal Age

Women over 35 are at higher risk for chromosomal issues. PGT-A increases success rates and safety for older mothers, often improving outcomes for high-risk pregnancies.

Recurrent Pregnancy Loss

Couples with multiple miscarriages may have hidden chromosomal abnormalities. Genetic testing identifies viable embryos and helps plan targeted IVF cycles.

Repeated IVF Failures

When good-quality embryos fail to implant or develop, PGT/PGS can reveal hidden genetic problems, guiding the selection of embryos most likely to succeed.

Known Genetic Disorders

Couples with inherited conditions like thalassemia, cystic fibrosis, or muscular dystrophy can use PGT-M to avoid passing them on, even if going through a Donor Egg or Sperm Program.

Chromosomal Abnormalities

Structural defects like translocations or inversions cause infertility or loss. Preimplantation genetic testing ensures only balanced, healthy embryos are transferred.

Severe Male Factor

In cases of severe oligospermia or azoospermia, embryos created via ICSI are tested for chromosomal normality before transfer.

Genetic Testing Process

1

Genetic Counseling

Your journey starts with a genetic counselor who explains benefits, options, and limitations of PGT/PGS based on your family and medical history. This session also includes counseling for donor egg or sperm recipients.

2

IVF Cycle

Undergo an IVF & ICSI Treatment cycle with controlled ovarian stimulation, retrieval, insemination, and embryo culture.

3

Embryo Biopsy

On day 5–6, a highly trained embryologist carefully removes a few cells from each embryo. This procedure is safe, with no harm to future development.

4

Embryo Freezing

Embryos are rapidly vitrified (frozen) to await test results. You can use these embryos in your own IVF cycle or for later high-risk pregnancy planning.

5

Genetic Analysis

State-of-the-art analysis—usually with NGS—screens for all chromosomal and gene defects. This maximizes precision and reliability.

6

Results & Transfer

Your doctor reviews results and plans the transfer of only genetically normal embryos. Our center is equipped to support high-risk pregnancies with multi-disciplinary care after implantation.

Benefits of Genetic Testing

Higher Success Rates

By selecting embryos without chromosomal or genetic problems, PGT/PGS boosts clinical pregnancy and live birth rates—especially in IVF & ICSI cycles.

Reduced Miscarriage Risk

Much lower risk of early pregnancy loss, as abnormal embryos are not transferred, offering peace of mind to couples with a history of recurrent miscarriage or planning high-risk pregnancy care.

Single Embryo Transfer

Confidently transfer one embryo to lower the risk of twins or multiples while maintaining superior success rates. This approach is standard in most modern IVF clinics.

Informed Decision Making

Genetic insights empower couples—especially those in Donor Egg/Sperm Programs—to choose the safest, best pathway for their family.

Prevention of Genetic Disorders

Significantly decreases the likelihood of passing on genetic diseases to offspring, offering a healthier future for your child.

Emotional Benefits

Fewer uncertainties, reduced anxiety, and a more reassuring pregnancy experience. For those with complicated fertility histories, or using high-risk pregnancy services, this peace of mind is invaluable.
