Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) is a procedure that helps couples avoid passing genetic disorders to their children. It involves testing embryos for specific genetic conditions before they are implanted in the womb during an IVF cycle. By picking healthy embryos, PGD boosts the chances of having a healthy baby.
Recovery time after PGD is short. Most people feel fine within a day or two.
You might need to stay in Turkey for about two to three weeks. This covers the consultation, the PGD procedure, and some recovery time.
You can usually go back to work within a few days.
Light activities can be started in a week. Avoid heavy exercise for at least two weeks.
The final results, meaning a confirmed healthy pregnancy, are seen after embryo implantation and pregnancy tests.
Avoid heavy lifting, intense workouts, and stressful activities for at least two weeks.
Stick to a healthy, balanced diet. Stay hydrated and avoid alcohol and caffeine.
During the consultation, you’ll talk about your medical history, risks, and benefits of PGD with your doctor. It’s also the time to ask any questions you have.
Before PGD, you'll go through ovarian stimulation to produce multiple eggs. These eggs are then retrieved and fertilized in the lab.
Once the embryos are fertilized, a few cells are taken from each embryo to test for genetic conditions. Healthy embryos are then selected for implantation.
A follow-up appointment is usually set a few days to a week after the procedure to check progress and discuss next steps.
PGD has a high success rate. Many couples achieve a healthy pregnancy. Studies show a success rate of about 70%. Most patients are very satisfied with the results, leading to healthy pregnancies and babies free from genetic disorders.
PGD is a genetic test used with IVF to screen embryos for genetic disorders before implantation.
Couples with a known genetic disorder, women over 35, those with a history of miscarriages, multiple failed IVF cycles, or a child with a genetic disorder.
The cost typically ranges from €3,000 to €5,000.
Plan to stay for about two to three weeks.
Yes, PGD is generally safe, but it has some risks like mild cramping, spotting, and bloating.
PGD greatly reduces the risk of genetic disorders but cannot guarantee a completely healthy baby.
You can return to normal activities, including work, within a few days. Avoid strenuous activities for about two weeks.
Avoid blood-thinning medications, smoking, and alcohol for at least two weeks before the procedure.
The success rate of PGD is around 70%, with many couples achieving a healthy pregnancy.
Follow up with your doctor for any additional steps and ensure regular check-ups to monitor the pregnancy.
