While science and medicine have advanced to tackle many challenges, including infertility, we know that modern methods on their own cannot work without the fine-tuning of our biology. The human body, particularly a woman's reproductive system, requires personalized care and attention to truly make a difference.
The Role of PGT-A
Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidies (PGT-A) is a remarkable tool in IVF that identifies chromosomally normal embryos. However, it’s important to understand that PGT-A doesn’t improve the quality of eggs or embryos; it can only select from the ones available. It can check and indicate but never create.
Our Focus: Quality and Quantity of Eggs
To help our patients achieve successful pregnancy using their own eggs we should create as many eggs as possible of as high quality as possible. This will enable us to get enough blastocysts and then PGT-A will identify those that are chromosomally normal.
Did you know that at age 38, only one in three blastocysts is chromosomally normal? This ratio drops to one in five by the age of 41.
Patients who come to us have been through multiple unsuccessful IVFs previously, most of them are over 40 and they usually have a reduced ovarian reserve. The challenge is to get enough blastocysts to find 2-3 chromosomally normal ones. And when we succeed, the chances of a successful pregnancy are high.
Live birth rates per transfer of one chromosomally normal blastocyst are 52%. This means that within three transfers, 9 out of 10 patients achieve a live birth.
Tailored to You: Our Individualized Approach
We don’t just look at numbers; we look at a woman. We analyze her health history and biological characteristics to fine-tune every aspect of her treatment. We improve overall health, influencing immature eggs in ovaries, getting them strong and ready for their final output several months before the actual ovarian stimulation begins.
Then we use individualized stimulation of the ovaries tuned with individual rhythms of each woman’s ovaries, giving eggs enough time to mature, multiply their mitochondria and thus collect energy and strength for the future cell division. The process of eggs’ growth is very personal and delicate, it can be compared to flowers’ blossom as every flower needs its own temperature, level of moisture and blooms at its own speed.
Why Eggs Matter So Much
Think of an egg as the powerhouse of early development.
The egg carries the whole factory for production of the embryo’s cells in the first weeks of development. Sperm just brings a half of genetic material. The egg cytoplasm provides the machine for production, the substrate and the fuel. So, creating competent and viable eggs is the most important part of success. If this is not done, PGT-A is of no use because there will be no blastocysts for testing or there will be weak blastocysts which cannot even be tested.
Thanks to such an individually tailored stimulation, tuned to this particular woman’s biology, 50% of our patients get more blastocysts per one IVF cycle with us than they used to have per one cycle in other clinics before; 33% of our patients are having more blastocysts in one IVF cycle with us than in ALL their IVF cycles previously.
Creating the Perfect Home for Your Embryo
But every single embryo with a normal set of chromosomes needs a nice place to implant, live and grow for 9 months.
So after having got a healthy embryo, we prepare its perfect home.
Many patients of ours have more than one reason why they are not pregnant yet (otherwise they would not have come to us because they would have gotten pregnant at some point at their local clinics). Many have diverse maternal factors interfering with implantation: metabolic, hormonal, immune, inflammation in the uterus and/or the whole body, shifting of implantation window and others.
We will investigate and treat those conditions which may interfere with successful implantation and pregnancy development and only when the environment in the female body and the uterus is fully optimized, we are going to transfer a chromosomally normal embryo into an optimally prepared endometrium in the right timing.

PGT-A →
PGT-A is one of the key elements of the IVF process at O.L.G.A. Fertility. PGT-A (preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidies) focuses on screening embryos to identify those with normal chromosome sets and therefore ensures higher pregnancy success rates by reducing miscarriage risks associated with chromosomal abnormalities. Read this page to know more about PGT-A and how it may help you shorten your IVF journey. Find out more →
