Tubal factor infertility refers to a condition in which the fallopian tubes, which play a crucial role in conception, are blocked, damaged, or not functioning properly. The fallopian tubes serve as a pathway for the sperm to reach the egg and for the fertilized embryo to travel to the uterus for implantation and pregnancy. When the fallopian tubes are affected, it can disrupt the normal process of fertilization and implantation, leading to difficulty in achieving pregnancy. The blockage or damage can prevent the sperm from reaching the egg, resulting in the inability to conceive naturally. Even if fertilization does occur, the fertilized embryo may face challenges in its journey through the blocked or damaged fallopian tubes, which can increase the risk of ectopic pregnancy or pregnancy loss. Tubal factor infertility can be caused by various factors, including infections, such as pelvic inflammatory disease, sexually transmitted infections, previous surgeries, endometriosis, and struct...

That is why, following egg retrieval and ICSI, a few cells from the embryo are removed and sent to a genetics laboratory for testing. After the findings of the genetic test are obtained, the embryo is transferred. It’s important to remember that this test has no impact on the total treatment time frame. PGT-A The A in PGT-A refers to “aneuploidies,” whereas PGT stands for Preimplantation Genetic Testing. In this test, the embryo is examined for a missing or extra chromosome on all 46 chromosomes, a condition known as aneuploidy. PGT-A is very beneficial for checking the most probable embryo for complications that might lead to diseases like Down Syndrome later on. PGT-M  PGT-M is a condition in which testing is done for single-gene diseases or monogenic illnesses. This testing lowers the chances of the child inheriting hereditary disorders like cys...
