Preimplantation Genetic Testing Information

This video covers information regarding PGT services for Monash IVF patients in Queensland. For information relating to more complex PGT options (eg: PGT for a chromosome rearrangement or PGT for a monogenic disorder), please contact Monash IVF.

If you are considering having PGT with your IVF cycle:

Step 1. Watch the Preimplantation Genetic Testing Information Video.

Step 2. Have a PGT information session with a PGT scientist. The process for this will be advised by your local team. This is an opportunity to ask any questions you may have regarding PGT and complete the consent form.

*** Please note that terminology around this technology is evolving. PGS – Pre implantation Genetic Screening is now referred to as PGT-A, Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidy. These terms may be used interchangeably.
