In the quest for fertility options for older women, IVF technology in the United States has become a focal point for many families. Especially when a woman reaches her 40s, the choice between PGS (Preimplantation Genetic Screening) testing of embryos and transplantation strategies becomes a crucial factor influencing the success rate of fertility treatment.

In recent years, with the widespread adoption of assisted reproductive technology, an increasing number of older women have turned to IVF for assistance. However, faced with the reality of declining egg quality and increased risk of embryonic chromosomal abnormalities due to age, developing a scientific transplantation strategy is paramount. Some opinions suggest that PGS testing for older women may yield unfavorable results, hence advocating for direct embryo transfer to seize any glimmer of hope. But is this approach truly advisable?

Dr. Nathan Zhang, the founder of IVF USA and a senior expert in the field of national assisted reproduction, provides a definitive answer to this question. Dr. Zhang points out that as women age, their egg count decreases and quality deteriorates, significantly elevating the probability of chromosomal abnormalities in embryos. If embryos are transferred without undergoing PGS testing, not only is there a higher risk of failure, but there's also the potential for miscarriages due to chromosomal abnormalities, which may necessitate uterine evacuation surgery and prolonged recovery time, further impacting the fertility of older women.

Dr. Zhang further emphasizes that while there are occasional cases of successful live births despite abnormal PGS results, such instances are extremely rare and lack solid research support, thus not warranting a general recommendation. He reminds all female friends that when confronted with fertility challenges, they should base their decisions on scientific assessments and personalized treatment plans to maximize their chances of success.
