Send us a text

Have you ever heard of giving an embryo a second chance at genetic testing? In this episode of Taco Bout Fertility Tuesday, Dr. Mark Amols dives deep into the fascinating world of embryo rebiopsy—what it is, why it’s performed, and whether it’s the right choice for your IVF journey.

When genetic testing of embryos (PGT-A) yields unclear results, such as inconclusive findings or mosaic diagnoses, the decision to rebiopsy can be difficult. Is rebiopsying embryos safe, or does it pose unnecessary risks?

Join us as we discuss:

• What embryo rebiopsy entails and how it differs from the initial biopsy.
• When you should consider rebiopsy, including cases of inconclusive or mosaic embryo results.
• The latest research findings on embryo survival, pregnancy success rates, and potential risks associated with rebiopsy.
• Practical considerations, such as whether rebiopsy actually hurts the embryo or reduces your chances of a healthy pregnancy.
• Insights on how often rebiopsy results differ from the original test, providing clarity when making tough decisions.
• Real-world scenarios and patient-friendly insights to help you weigh the pros and cons confidently.

If you’ve ever faced uncertainty due to ambiguous embryo test results or are curious about your options, this episode provides the clarity you need. Embryo rebiopsy could give you a crucial second chance—but is it worth the risk?
