Genetic Testing

Genetic testing is an option we offer that can put patients at ease regarding the health of their embryo(s) in addition to their chances for a successful pregnancy with IVF. Each type of genetic screening is used prior to the embryo transfer procedure in order to help ensure a healthy embryo that is free of abnormalities. These tests identify anomalies in the embryo that might affect implantation, detect serious genetic conditions like Down syndrome and cystic fibrosis.
