As women’s age increases, the number of eggs with chromosomal abnormalities also increases. PGS is carried out to check embryos for these abnormalities before they are transferred. The number one reason for IVF failure is chromosomal disorders of the transferred embryos, which often lead to miscarriage. By carrying out PGS, we can make sure the embryos are genetically normal before they are transferred, thereby significantly lowering the chance of pregnancy loss during the first three months of conception.
