PGT-A Treatment in Bangalore
Planning IVF and want to improve your chances of a successful pregnancy? PGT-A (Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidy) helps identify embryos with the correct number of chromosomes, reducing the risk of implantation failure and miscarriage. At Vriksh Fertility, we combine advanced genetic screening with precision embryology to help you choose the healthiest embryo for transfer.
The PGT-A Journey
Smart embryo selection for better outcomes. PGT-A is integrated into the IVF process to ensure only chromosomally normal embryos are selected.
Consultation & Evaluation
Assessment of age, IVF history, and fertility profile.
IVF Cycle & Embryo Development
Egg retrieval, fertilization, and embryo culture.
Embryo Biopsy
A few cells are removed from Day 5/6 embryos (blastocysts).
Genetic Testing
Embryos are analyzed for chromosomal number abnormalities.
Embryo Selection & Transfer
Only chromosomally normal (euploid) embryos are transferred.
What is PGT-A?
PGT-A is a genetic test used to detect aneuploidy, which means an abnormal number of chromosomes in the embryo (extra or missing chromosomes). It identifies embryos with normal chromosome numbers (euploid), detects abnormal embryos (aneuploid), and helps select embryos with higher implantation potential. Chromosomal abnormalities are a leading cause of failed implantation, miscarriages, and genetic disorders.
Your PGT-A Treatment – Step by Step
Your complete guide to the PGT-A process
IVF Preparation
Ovarian stimulation and egg retrieval, fertilization and embryo development
Embryo Biopsy
Selection of Day 5/6 blastocyst-stage embryos, removal of a few cells for testing
Genetic Analysis
Embryos tested using advanced genetic techniques (NGS), classification into euploid (normal) or aneuploid (abnormal)
Embryo Freezing
Embryos are frozen while awaiting test results
Embryo Transfer
Healthy (euploid) embryo is transferred in a subsequent cycle
Is PGT-A the Right Test for You?
PGT-A is recommended for patients at higher risk of chromosomal abnormalities.
Female Factors
- Advanced maternal age (35+ years)
- Recurrent miscarriages
- Poor egg quality
Male Factors
- Abnormal sperm parameters (in some cases)
Couple-Related Factors
- Repeated IVF failures
- Need to improve embryo selection
- Desire to reduce miscarriage risk

Frequently Asked Questions about PGT-A
PGT-A is a genetic test that checks embryos for chromosomal abnormalities before transfer during IVF.
Aneuploidy refers to an abnormal number of chromosomes, which can lead to failed implantation or miscarriage.
Yes, especially in selected patients, by transferring chromosomally normal embryos.
No, it is recommended mainly for patients with higher risk factors.
Yes, when performed by experienced embryologists, it is considered safe.
No, but it significantly reduces the risk of chromosomal abnormalities.
Usually in a subsequent cycle after receiving results.
The process takes about 4–6 weeks including IVF and testing.
No, it helps in single embryo transfer, reducing twin risk.
Patients with advanced age, recurrent miscarriage, failed IVF cycles, or multiple embryos for selection benefit most.
