Fertility in the 21st century is no longer just about age and hormones. Today, it’s also about genetics, artificial intelligence, and personalized decisions.
In this blog, we explain two key tools that are transforming the way we plan a family: Carrier Screening (CGT) and PGT-A.
What is Carrier Screening?
The Carrier Genetic Test (CGT) is a genetic test that detects if you are a carrier of hereditary diseases that you could pass on to your offspring. It is especially useful if you are going to:
Use donor eggs or sperm.
Have a child with your partner and wish to minimize genetic risks.
Preserve eggs before medical treatment.
This test can detect more than 400 recessive diseases, including cystic fibrosis, spinal muscular atrophy, and sickle cell anemia, among many others.
What is PGT-A?
Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidies (PGT-A) is applied to embryos created through in vitro fertilization to analyze if they have the correct number of chromosomes. Its purpose is to:
Select embryos with a higher probability of implantation.
Reduce the risk of miscarriage.
Increase healthy pregnancy rates.
At Fertidonors, we combine state-of-the-art science with human support to help you live this experience with clarity, calm, and confidence.
