Why do You Need to do PGT (or do you?)
Season 8
Episode 634
Published 3 years, 10 months ago
Description
Dr. Geoffrey Sher is back, and we are going to be covering a very important topic: why do you need to do PGT testing if you’re doing IVF (or do you?) Dr. Sher is the co-founder of Sher Fertility Solutions (SFS) and internationally renowned expert in the field of ART (Assisted Reproductive Technology) and has been influential in the births of over 17,000 IVF babies.
Around 2005, Dr. Sher's team published the first paper that showed beyond a shadow of a doubt that if you were able to fully karyotype the embryo cells that a euploid embryo would have an excellent chance.
Today there is hardly an IVF program in the world that is not doing PGS/PGT-A to assess embryo viability. Today, we are discussing if PGT is needed for all IVF cycles, the role DOR plays in assessing if PGT is useful, and other maternal chromosomal and genetic abnormalities that may mean you'd want to consider PGT. Plus, he's addressing the concern that some patients have around the possibility that PGT may harm an embryo (short answer: if done correctly it does not).
