Ferny can test an embryo before it’s implanted into the uterus, a safe and easy way to ensure the pregnancy and birth will be free of genetic complications. There are two types of genetic testing:
PGD tests for disorders that the patient, partner or donor might be carrying, including cystic fibrosis, Tay Sachs, sickle cell, spinal muscular atrophy, and others.
PGS focuses on chromosomes rather than genetic disorders, verifying that the embryo has 23 pairs. Missing or extra chromosomes can result in pregnancy loss or a child born with serious health issues.
It is available to those who conceive through IVF and opt for PGS testing. After lab fertilization, we draw a single cell from each viable embryo to identify the gender, then implant one or two embryos of the gender you choose.
