Frequently Asked Questions

FAQs About Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT)

Find clear answers to common questions about treatment:

What is PGT used for?

PGT screens IVF embryos for genetic and chromosomal abnormalities before embryo transfer to improve pregnancy outcomes.

Who should undergo PGT?

PGT is recommended for couples with inherited genetic disorders, recurrent miscarriages, repeated IVF failures, chromosomal abnormalities, or advanced maternal age.

Does PGT improve IVF success?

PGT can increase the likelihood of a successful pregnancy by selecting healthy embryos for transfer, particularly in selected patients.

Does PGT harm the embryo?

No. When performed by experienced embryologists, embryo biopsy is considered safe and does not affect normal embryo development.

Can PGT determine the baby's gender?

PGT can identify sex chromosomes during genetic analysis. However, gender selection for non-medical reasons is not permitted and is only used when medically indicated to prevent sex-linked genetic disorders.

How much does PGT cost in Nepal?

The cost depends on the number of embryos tested and your treatment plan. Contact Hardik IVF for a personalized consultation and pricing.
