Fertility Care Genetic Testing

Additional Insight During IVF

Preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) analyzes embryos created during IVF to evaluate chromosomal health or specific genetic conditions.

This testing can provide additional information when selecting embryos for transfer.

What Genetic Testing Can Identify

PGT may evaluate:

  • Chromosomal abnormalities
  • Certain inherited genetic conditions
  • Embryo genetic health

For some patients, this information can help guide embryo selection and reduce the risk of miscarriage.

Personalized Guidance

Genetic testing is offered as part of a thoughtful fertility plan—not as a routine requirement.

Ferny physicians discuss the benefits and limitations of testing so patients can make informed decisions about their treatment.

Genetic Testing FAQs

PGT analyzes a small number of cells from an embryo created during IVF to evaluate chromosomal health or genetic conditions.

No test can guarantee outcomes, but genetic testing can provide additional information about embryo health.

No. Many patients proceed with IVF without genetic testing.

Testing may be recommended for certain genetic conditions, recurrent pregnancy loss, or advanced maternal age.
