Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT-A)

Information for selected cases — never a guarantee.

Dr. Vijaya ReddyDr. Vijaya ReddyMedically reviewed · 1 June 2026

In short

What is Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT-A)?

PGT-A screens IVF embryos for the correct number of chromosomes before transfer. It can be valuable in specific situations — such as recurrent loss or older maternal age — but it is recommended selectively and never presented as a promise of success.

When it can help

  • Recurrent pregnancy loss
  • Older maternal age
  • Repeated implantation failure

What PGT-A can and can't do

PGT-A gives information about chromosomal status that can guide which embryo to transfer. It is used on indication and is one input among several — it does not guarantee a pregnancy.

We discuss this option only when it's clinically suitable for you — never as a default, and never with a guarantee of outcome.

Questions people ask

Does PGT-A guarantee a healthy baby?

No. PGT-A screens embryos for chromosomal number and can inform embryo selection, but it cannot guarantee a pregnancy or a healthy baby. It's recommended for specific reasons, and we'll explain honestly what it can and cannot tell you in your case.
