PGT-A Testing in India: Cost, Accuracy, and Who Actually Needs It

Most importantly, PGT-A should not simply be added to an IVF cycle because it sounds like the more advanced option.

The right question is:

"What specific problem are we trying to solve by testing these embryos?"

For patients with advanced maternal age, recurrent pregnancy loss, repeated implantation failure, or particular reproductive/genetic circumstances, PGT-A may be worth discussing. For other patients, conventional embryo selection may remain a reasonable approach.

A fertility specialist and, when appropriate, a genetic counsellor can help determine whether the potential benefits justify the additional cost and limitations in your individual situation.

PGT-A cannot guarantee implantation, pregnancy or a healthy baby.
