PGTA Testing in Greece: A Guide to Your IVF Journey

As you embark on the exciting and sometimes challenging journey of assisted reproduction, it's important to be aware of all the available options that can increase your chances of a successful pregnancy. One such option is Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidies (PGTA), an advanced technique offered in Greece. In this blog, we'll cover what PGTA is, how it works, and why it might be worth considering if you're thinking about IVF treatment.

What is PGTA?

PGTA stands for Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidies, a specialized form of genetic testing performed before embryo transfer during an IVF treatment. This technique allows for the examination of embryos for chromosomal irregularities before they are transferred to the uterus. Aneuploidies, the presence of an unusual number of chromosomes in a cell, are a common cause of implantation failure and miscarriages

How Does PGTA Work?

The process begins with the retrieval and fertilization of your eggs in the laboratory. When the embryos reach the blastocyst stage (usually on the fifth or sixth day after fertilization), a small number of cells are biopsied and genetically analyzed. This analysis helps identify embryos with the correct number of chromosomes, increasing the likelihood of successful implantation and pregnancy

Benefits of PGTA Testing

• Increased Success Rates: By selecting embryos without chromosomal irregularities, the chances of successful implantation and pregnancy can be improved
• Reduced Risk of Miscarriages: Aneuploidies are a common cause of miscarriages. PGTA helps minimize this risk by selecting only chromosomally normal embryos for transfer
• Informed Decisions: PGTA provides valuable information to you and your doctor that can assist in planning your IVF treatment

Who is PGTA Suitable For?

PGTA is particularly recommended for couples who have an increased risk of chromosomal anomalies in embryos due to their age, medical history, or previous failed IVF attempts. It may also be of interest to couples who have experienced repeated miscarriages or whose previous pregnancies were affected by chromosomal anomalies
