At Now Fertility, we understand that the journey to building your family can be filled with both hope and uncertainty. For those considering IVF with Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Monogenic Disorders (PGT-M), it’s essential to be well-informed about the process. In this blog post, we’ll guide you through the essentials of IVF with PGT-M, helping you understand what to expect and how we can support you every step of the way.
What is IVF with PGT-M?
In vitro fertilization (IVF) with Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Monogenic Disorders (PGT-M) is a powerful tool for couples who are at risk of passing on genetic conditions to their children. This advanced technique allows for the screening of embryos for specific genetic disorders before implantation, increasing the chances of a healthy pregnancy.
The IVF with PGT-M Process
1. Initial Consultation and Testing
The journey begins with an initial consultation where our experts will discuss your medical history and fertility goals. We’ll also carry out initial blood tests and evaluations to tailor the treatment to your needs.
2. Ovarian Stimulation and Egg Retrieval
To maximize the number of eggs available for fertilization, you will undergo ovarian stimulation with medication. Once the eggs are mature, they will be retrieved in a minimally invasive procedure.
3. Sperm Collection and Fertilization
Sperm will be collected and used to fertilize the eggs in our lab. The resulting embryos will then be cultured and monitored for development.
4. Embryo Biopsy and Genetic Testing
A small sample of cells is taken from each embryo for genetic testing. PGT-M will analyze these cells to identify any genetic conditions before the embryos are transferred.
5. Embryo Transfer
Once we have identified the embryos free from genetic disorders, the selected embryo(s) will be transferred into your uterus. This step is crucial for establishing a successful pregnancy.
6. Follow-Up and Support
After the embryo transfer, we will continue to support you through early pregnancy monitoring and any additional care you may need.
What to Expect: Timescales and Costs
The entire IVF with PGT-M process typically takes several weeks to a few months. From the initial consultation to embryo transfer, you can expect a well-coordinated timeline to guide you through each stage.
Our comprehensive package includes all necessary procedures, medications, and genetic testing. We will provide a detailed cost breakdown and answer any questions you may have about pricing.
