Preimplantation Genetic Screening (PGS) is a crucial part of the surrogacy journey for many intended parents, ensuring the highest chance of a healthy and successful pregnancy. PGS involves screening embryos for chromosomal abnormalities before they are implanted in the surrogate, allowing fertility specialists to select the healthiest embryos for transfer. This significantly increases the chances of a successful pregnancy while reducing the risk of miscarriage or genetic disorders.
At SurroCare, we prioritize the health and well-being of both the intended parents and the surrogate. PGS is one of the advanced technologies we offer to optimize the surrogacy process. After an embryo is created via in vitro fertilization (IVF), a few cells are biopsied from the embryo and analyzed in a laboratory to assess its chromosomal health. This helps identify any genetic issues that could prevent successful implantation or lead to health problems later on.
Benefits of PGS in Surrogacy
- Higher Success Rates: By selecting the healthiest embryos, PGS significantly increases the chances of implantation and a successful pregnancy.
- Reduced Risk of Genetic Disorders: PGS can identify conditions like Down syndrome, enabling the selection of embryos that are free from such abnormalities.
- Improved Pregnancy Outcomes: With fewer chromosomal issues, PGS reduces the risk of miscarriage, allowing for a smoother surrogacy experience.
