What Causes Miscarriage?
Miscarriages are more common than you would like to believe. 1 in 6 women miscarries while 1% of women suffer from miscarriages more than thrice. As frustrating miscarriages can be to the couple it is equally frustrating to the clinicians treating them. Studies are still ongoing as to the root cause of the problem, but of the issues that we know of so far, the common causes are:
- Genetic defects of embryos
- Autoimmune disorders
- Certain medical conditions
- Or womb defects
Genetic Testing Before and During Pregnancy
Medical advancements have made it possible for us to know more about our pregnancies and problems that could occur during any stage. If you would like to utilise the resources available to you to avoid these problems you have to consider opting in for a pre implantation genetic testing before and during your pregnancy.
Not only does genetic testing for IVF treatment make the process safer for all involved, it significantly reduces the costs of the treatment by ensuring your pregnancy happens in the first IVF cycle. Genetic testing ensures that only the healthiest, best quality embryos are used for the process.
At IVF Spring Fertility Centre, we offer all these testing options under one roof, making it easier for you to plan a safe and healthy pregnancy.
Benefits of Pre Implantation Genetic Testing
Pre Implantation Genetic Testing helps identify genetic abnormalities in embryos before implantation. By selecting only the healthiest embryos, PGT improves the chances of a successful pregnancy, reduces the risk of miscarriage, and prevents genetic disorders from being passed on to the baby.
- Higher IVF Success Rates – Selecting genetically healthy embryos increases the chances of implantation and a full-term pregnancy.
- Reduced Risk of Miscarriage – By screening for chromosomal abnormalities, PGT helps prevent early pregnancy loss.
- Detection of Genetic Disorders – Identifies conditions like Down syndrome, cystic fibrosis, and thalassemia before implantation.
- Better Family Planning – Helps couples with a history of inherited diseases make informed reproductive choices.
Genetic Counselling in India as an Infertility Treatment Before IVF
Genetic testing is primarily done to detect and prevent conditions from passing on to the next generation. The most common reasons for a genetic examination are:
- Genetic defect identified with a possible hereditary component in the family
- Birth of a child with an inherited defect
- Family history of miscarriages or repeated miscarriages
- Pregnancy planning post oncology treatment
- History of cancer diseases in the family
A genetic counsellor at IVF Spring Fertility Centre will assess your medical history, suggest the necessary tests, and guide you through the cost of genetic testing, ensuring complete transparency.
Who Is Genetic Counselling Suitable for?
Ideally, genetic counseling is recommended for all patients. However, it can be especially beneficial for:
- Parents over 35 for the mother and 45 for the father
- Patients who have shown abnormalities in ultrasound or biochemical examination
- If you or your partner have a known genetic condition, such as cystic fibrosis, sickle cell disease, or thalassemia
- Family history of recurrent hereditary diseases
- Exposure medication, X-ray, and infectious diseases
Our specialists provide comprehensive genetic analysis, helping you understand the best course of action for a safe and successful pregnancy.
Genetic Testing Cost
Genetic testing can significantly improve IVF success rates, but many couples worry about the genetic testing cost and whether it fits into their fertility plan. The price of genetic testing can vary depending on several factors, including the type of test required, the number of embryos being screened, and the technology used. At IVF Spring Fertility Centre, we offer transparent and affordable genetic testing to help you make informed decisions without financial stress
What Is the Procedure for Genetic Testing and Counselling?
The testing and counselling for genetic screening can change depending on the stage of the pregnancy. However, the most common steps involved in most procedures are as follows:
- Genetic Counsellors educate the patient about the screening options
- If a prenatal screening or test is abnormal the counsellor will evaluate the risk of pregnancy
- Patient education about the risks is done and the options are laid out to the patient
- Counselling can also be offered to patients whose babies are born with congenital problems
- Conditions are explained and future risks of recurrence are explained to the parents
During the genetic counselling process, the genetic counsellor will try to identify genetic health risks and will provide the information regarding genetic conditions and inheritance patterns. The counsellor will discuss the details of test results and will help you to understand the same. At IVF Spring Fertility Center, we provide emotional support during your decision making and treatment procedure. It is advised to communicate your genetic information to your other healthcare providers to ensure that it is considered beyond your fertility treatment.
