This is the third time Mrs. Zhang (alias) has come for consultation, she is full of worries because she has experienced multiple miscarriages. In the journey of nurturing life, she has experienced the joy of pregnancy, the anxiety of maintaining pregnancy, but repeatedly encountered the shadow of fetal arrest. The doctor suggested that Mrs. Zhang undergo a comprehensive physical examination, especially chromosomal testing, to determine whether the root cause of recurrent miscarriage is related to chromosomal abnormalities.

Mrs. Zhang is puzzled, why do embryos have chromosomal abnormalities when both parents have normal chromosomes?

First, let's understand what chromosomal abnormalities are. Chromosomes are the main structures carrying genetic information. There are 23 pairs of chromosomes in human cells, responsible for transmitting genetic information. However, during chromosome division and combination, abnormalities such as deletion, translocation, and duplication of chromosomes may occur, which is chromosomal abnormalities. Although the chromosomes of both parents may be normal, embryos may still have chromosomal abnormalities, which troubles many families.

There are many factors that can cause chromosomal abnormalities. Physical factors such as radiation exposure, chemical factors such as exposure to chemicals, advanced maternal age, advanced paternal age, couples with chromosomal abnormalities, and a history of chromosomal abnormal pregnancies may all cause chromosomal abnormalities. It is particularly noteworthy that age is an important factor, and the older the age, the higher the risk of chromosomal abnormalities.

For patients with chromosomal abnormalities, they may also worry that their diseases will be inherited by the next generation. However, through IVF USA's third-generation test-tube baby technology, namely pre-implantation genetic diagnosis/screening (PGD/PGS), we can conduct chromosomal abnormality testing on embryos before transplantation, thereby selecting healthy embryos for transplantation and greatly reducing the risk of inherited diseases in the next generation.

The magic of PGD/PGS technology lies in its significant improvement in the pregnancy rate of infertile patients, advanced maternal age, and patients with recurrent miscarriages, and increases the success rate of IVF babies. This technology conducts chromosomal abnormality testing on embryos before transplantation, bringing more choices and possibilities for patients.

Dr. Nathan Zhang from IVF USA introduced that the widespread application of third-generation IVF baby technology allows more couples to realize their dreams of healthy babies. Whether it is for women with recurrent miscarriages or patients with chromosomal abnormalities, we can help them realize their dreams of reproduction through this technology.
