Genetic IVF with Preimplantation Genetic Testing
Genetic IVF + PGT is one of the most advanced assisted reproduction techniques. It combines in vitro fertilisation (IVF) with embryo genetic testing, helping us make decisions with greater information and confidence. In other words, it is not only about creating embryos, but about selecting those with the highest potential to result in a healthy, ongoing pregnancy.
What Is Genetic IVF?
Genetic IVF is an in vitro fertilisation treatment combined with preimplantation genetic testing (PGT-A). This test analyzes the number of chromosomes in embryos before transfer to the uterus.
Thanks to preimplantation genetic testing (PGT-A), Genetic IVF allows the identification of chromosomally normal embryos before transfer, which translates into higher success rates and a lower risk of miscarriage. A reliable compass when the path to motherhood has become uncertain.
The goal is clear: to select chromosomally healthy embryos, reducing the risk of implantation failure, miscarriage, or chromosomal abnormalities.
What Does Genetic IVF Treatment Involve?
This treatment integrates three highly specialized techniques that work together:
- In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF).
- Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI).
- Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT-A).
First, eggs are retrieved through an egg retrieval procedure. The embryos are then cultured in the laboratory until day 5 (blastocyst stage).
At this point, an embryo biopsy is performed for genetic testing, selecting only those embryos with a normal chromosomal complement.
When Is Genetic IVF + PGT Recommended?
We particularly recommend considering Genetic IVF in the following cases:
Recommended for women aged 36 and over.
For patients with a history of recurrent miscarriage.
Recommended for women with previous implantation failures in IVF cycles.
When significant semen abnormalities are present.
When it is necessary to maximise the chances of success with each embryo transfer.
How Is IVF + PGT-A Performed?
Initial Medical Consultation
The first consultation is much more than a medical assessment. We review your medical history, perform a detailed ultrasound scan, and answer your questions with care and clarity.
The goal is to design a personalised and realistic treatment plan, tailored specifically to you.
Personalised Ovarian Stimulation
Hormonal stimulation begins between the second and third day of the cycle.
We adjust medication doses and protocols according to your ovarian response, with frequent ultrasound monitoring and close follow-up.
Egg Retrieval
Egg retrieval is a brief, safe procedure performed under light sedation.
After a short recovery period, you can return home the same day with clear instructions and ongoing support.
Embryology Laboratory
The eggs are fertilized through IVF or ICSI, and embryos are cultured until day 5.
We use time-lapse technology to monitor embryo development continuously without interference.
Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT-A)
At the blastocyst stage, a few cells are carefully removed from the embryo for genetic analysis.
This study enables us to identify chromosomally normal embryos.
While results are pending, embryos are preserved through vitrification.
Embryo Transfer
Embryo transfer is a simple, painless procedure filled with significance.
We select the embryo with the best prognosis and transfer it at the optimal time to support implantation.
Pregnancy Test
Ten days after transfer, we perform a blood pregnancy test (beta-hCG).
If the result is positive, follow-up ultrasounds are scheduled to confirm the proper progression of pregnancy before medical discharge.
Success Rates of Genetic IVF
Genetic IVF makes it possible to select chromosomally normal embryos before transfer, increasing the chances of pregnancy.
At Gaia, we assess each case individually to offer a personalised and safe treatment strategy.

Genetic IVF: Cost and Financing
The cost of Genetic IVF may vary depending on each case, as factors such as the recommended medical protocol, the number of embryos obtained, and the type of genetic analysis required all influence pricing.
At our clinic, we carry out an individualised medical assessment before starting treatment to confirm that it is the most suitable option and to define the strategy with the highest likelihood of success.
Following this evaluation, we provide a personalised and transparent quote, detailing every stage of treatment. We also offer financing options so you can begin the process with confidence and peace of mind.

Frequently Asked Questions About Genetic IVF + PGT
The answers to these frequently asked questions have been prepared by the editorial team at GAIA Fertility Clinic and medically reviewed by Dr. Grether Pérez to ensure the information is accurate, up to date, and based on scientific evidence.
Genetic IVF does not guarantee pregnancy, although it significantly improves success rates.
By transferring chromosomally healthy embryos, the risk of implantation failure and miscarriage is reduced, improving the prognosis for each attempt.
The main difference is that in Genetic IVF, embryos are genetically analyzed before transfer.
In conventional IVF, embryo selection is based on morphological criteria, whereas Genetic IVF adds chromosomal information, allowing for greater precision.
Yes. Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT-A) is considered a safe technique for the embryo.
It is performed at the blastocyst stage and does not compromise embryo development or implantation potential.
This depends on the number of embryos obtained and the treatment package selected.
Typically, embryos that reach day 5 of development are tested.
At Gaia Fertility clinic, treatment includes PGT-A for up to 2 embryos, with the option to extend testing if necessary.

ROPA Method
After several unsuccessful treatment cycles at other clinics, I contacted Clínica GAIA. In my case, I needed egg donation treatment. From the very beginning, we felt supported, well informed and genuinely cared for. Every step of the process was explained clearly, and we always felt we were in safe and experienced hands.
