Single Cycle IVF Success Following PGD
IVF success rate for a single cycle is high when there are chromosomally 2 or 3 embryos which need to be transferred. The chances of healthy pregnancy increase when the embryos are genetically normal along with high implantation rates. To make sure embryos are chromosomally normal, the PGD analysis is done before the selection is done for embryo transfer.
What makes the embryo genetically normal?
To have a genetically normal embryo, there are around 2 chromosomes of each of 22 chromosome types in addition to XX female or XY male chromosomes.
