What is Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis?

Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGT) method is the in vitro fertilization technique that enables the healthiest embryo to be selected and transferred to the womb. During the IVF treatments used in the solution of infertility, Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis method can be selected and transferred to the mother's uterus. New developments in PGD method are of great importance for the birth of healthy babies. It is now possible to determine the structural and numerical disorders of the chromosomes of embryos in terms of genetic diseases that may cause illness in the child with preimplantation genetic diagnosis. During Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis, ovaries are stimulated first and a drug protocol specifically designed for the expectant mother is applied. With the drug protocol the ovaries of the expectant mother are warned. The second step of the PGT method is the collection of the eggs. Following the stimulation of the ovaries, follicle sizes and blood hormone levels are monitored by ultrasonography and a cracking needle is made with appropriate timing and the mother candidate is taken to egg collection. Sperm from men is taken to microinjection process in a clinical laboratory. After microinjection, fertilization, division and embryo quality are evaluated day by day.

What is Fertility & IVF?

Infertility is the absence of pregnancy despite 1 year of unprotected intercourse. In the problem of inability to have a child which is seen in about 15% of couples, only 20% of male factors, 30% of both male&female factors and only female factors are observed with a rate of 40%. In 10% of couples, there is an unexplained infertility. In the treatment of infertility, simple and causal treatments are preferred initially. If the problem can be detected, it is aimed to ensure pregnancy in the couple's home by eliminating correctable causes such as drug therapy, varicocele surgery, treatment of canal obstructions. With these treatments, even if the pregnancy cannot be achieved, the condition of the man is partially improved and it is ensured that he can benefit from assisted reproductive techniques with higher success. In other words, with the higher number and quality of the sperm obtained, the success of applications such as in vitro fertilization or vaccination is tried to be increased. While suitable couples may benefit from the method of leaving the male's sperm prepared in the laboratory to the female uterus (vaccination = insemination) by the gynecologist, microinjection = in vitro fertilization (IVF) may be required as a last resort for those with more severe conditions.
