Description

Being a fertility patient is like learning a new language. It’s almost like you have to adopt a new vocabulary of only three-letter words. In today's Egg Whisperer Show podcast, I'm sharing about PGT.⁠ ⁠ PGT = Pre-Implantation Genetic Testing⁠ ⁠ When I talk about this to patients, one of the first reactions I get is that they think it’s associated with a 100% pregnancy rate and a perfect healthy baby. The other myth I hear is that most think they don’t need it because they don’t have anyone in their family with chromosome issues. Both of these statements are myths.⁠ ⁠ PGT is the closest thing to a crystal ball we have right now but it’s still murky. It’s the best that science has to offer to give us the highest chance for a healthy pregnancy but it has limitations: it only screens chromosomes, not genetic diseases, birth defects, or genes for autism.
