preimplantation genetic diagnosis (pgd)

How Does PGD Work?

PGD involves several steps:
IVF Procedure: Eggs are retrieved from the ovaries and fertilized with sperm in a laboratory setting.
Embryo Development: The fertilized eggs are cultured for about 3-5 days until they reach the blastocyst stage.
Biopsy: A few cells are carefully removed from each embryo.
Genetic Analysis: The biopsied cells undergo genetic testing to check for specific genetic conditions.
Embryo Selection: Only embryos that are free from identified genetic defects are selected for implantation.
