Before starting an IVF/ICSI cycle, it’s important for individuals to undergo a thorough evaluation by a fertility specialist to determine if they are suitable candidates for the procedure. This evaluation may include assessing hormone levels, ovarian reserve, uterine health, and other factors that can impact the success of the treatment.

Genetic testing for embryos, often referred to as preimplantation genetic testing (PGT), is a procedure used during in vitro fertilization (IVF) to assess the genetic health of embryos before they are implanted into the uterus. PGT can help identify genetic abnormalities, chromosomal abnormalities, or specific genetic conditions within the embryos, allowing for the selection of the healthiest embryos for implantation.
