With the continuous advancement of technology, in vitro fertilization (IVF) techniques have evolved and entered IVF-PGT. So, what advantages does IVF-PGT offer compared to the first and second generations?

According to Dr. Nathan Zhang, the founder of IVF USA, the most significant advantages of IVF-PGT are twofold: firstly, the cultivation of embryos into blastocysts, and secondly, the chromosomal and genetic analysis of each blastocyst.

In the laboratory, embryos are carefully cultivated for 5-7 days, resulting in the formation of blastocysts. These blastocysts have two critical components: one part will develop into a fetus, and the other part will develop into the umbilical cord and placenta. To conduct a more comprehensive analysis, embryologists will obtain 3-5 samples from cells that will develop into the umbilical cord and placenta, conducting chromosomal analysis. This method accurately detects whether each embryo has chromosomal abnormalities, allowing for targeted selection of normal embryos for transplantation and significantly reducing the risk of potential miscarriage and fetal stoppage.

Especially for women of advanced maternal age, particularly those above 38 years old, the decline in the quality and quantity of eggs with increasing age makes embryos more prone to chromosomal abnormalities. IVF-PGT technology, through precise genetic analysis, provides more opportunities for older women to conceive healthy babies.

For those concerned about potential embryo damage during sampling, Dr. Nathan Zhang emphasizes that in high-quality laboratories, embryologists do not cause harm to embryos during the sampling process. Therefore, using IVF-PGT technology is a safe and reliable option.

However, Dr. Nathan Zhang also acknowledges that different doctors, different clinics, especially different laboratories, may obtain different results. Therefore, he advises patients preparing for IVF to choose reputable institutions with experienced doctors and embryologists to ensure a more reliable and secure process.
