PGT-A / NICS

🧬 PGT-A / NICS

PGT-A (Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidy) and NICS (Non-Invasive Chromosome Screening) are advanced genetic testing techniques used during IVF to select the healthiest embryos for transfer. At Phular IVF, we use state-of-the-art technology to improve IVF success rates and reduce the risk of genetic abnormalities.

🔍 Why PGT-A / NICS?

These genetic testing methods are recommended for couples who:

Have experienced recurrent pregnancy loss
Have advanced maternal age
Have previous IVF failures
Are carriers of genetic disorders
Want to reduce the risk of chromosomal abnormalities in embryos

PGT-A identifies embryos with the correct number of chromosomes, while NICS allows non-invasive screening of embryos using spent culture media.

⚕️ How PGT-A / NICS Works

Embryos are cultured in the lab up to the blastocyst stage
A few cells are safely biopsied for genetic analysis (PGT-A)
For NICS, cell-free DNA is collected from the culture medium without embryo biopsy
Genetic testing identifies embryos with normal chromosomes for transfer
Results help select the healthiest embryo, improving IVF success

🌟 Benefits of PGT-A / NICS

Increases the likelihood of a successful pregnancy
Reduces the risk of miscarriage due to chromosomal abnormalities
Helps in selecting the best quality embryos for transfer
Non-invasive option (NICS) reduces stress on the embryo

⏳ Recovery & Follow-Up

Minimal impact on the patient; embryo biopsy/NICS is performed in the lab
Embryo transfer can be scheduled after genetic results are available
Routine IVF follow-up protocols are followed
