Understanding PGTA: 7 Steps To Testing Your Embryos Before Transfer

In this episode of The Egg Whisperer Show, I explain Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidy (PGTA) and share the seven essential steps to help you test your embryos wisely. I outline how to approach PGTA efficiently so you can feel more informed and empowered in your fertility journey. This episode offers practical advice for anyone considering PGTA before embryo transfer.

In this episode, we cover:
Step 1: Plan for multiple retrievals if needed
Step 2: Understand that embryo quality still matters
Step 3: Be prepared for inconclusive results
Step 4: Get clarity on mosaic and segmental embryos
Step 5: Review embryo disposition consent forms carefully before you start
Step 6: Know that PGTA screens only for chromosomes—not all genetic issues
Step 7: Be aware that abnormal pregnancies can still happen
