At Ekam Fertility, we know that becoming a parent is not just a dream—it’s a heartfelt journey filled with hope, love, and a little bit of nervousness. When you’ve come this far, you want to give your baby the best possible start in life. That’s where PGD testing and PGS testing can make all the difference.
These advanced screenings let us check your embryos before pregnancy begins, helping ensure they are healthy and fr*e from serious genetic problems. The result? A higher chance of a safe pregnancy, a healthy baby, and peace of mind for you.
What is PGD Testing?
PGD testing (Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis) is like giving your future baby a protective shield before they’re even born. If you or your partner carry a known genetic condition, this test can help us identify embryos that are unaffected.
We recommend PGD when:
- There’s a family history of certain genetic illnesses
- You’re a carrier of a hereditary condition
- You want to reduce the risk of passing on a known disorder
By choosing Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis, you’re taking a caring step to protect your child’s health before pregnancy even begins.
What is Preimplantation Genetic Screening (PGS)?
PGS—also called pre implantation genetic testing or PGT testing—is all about checking the “blueprint” of your baby. It doesn’t look for one specific disease, but instead makes sure your embryos have the right number of chromosomes.
Why is this important? Because chromosomal problems can cause failed IVF cycles, repeated miscarriages, or conditions like Down syndrome. Preimplantation genetic screening helps us choose embryos that are most likely to grow into a healthy baby.
How PGD and PGS Work Together
Think of PGD as checking for a specific “spelling mistake” in your baby’s genetic book, while PGS checks the “page numbers” to make sure nothing is missing or extra. Together, they give you and your future baby the best chance at a healthy beginning.
