What is PGS? Pre-implantation Genetic Screening (PGS) is a highly specialised technology that involves the biopsy of embryos to assess whether or not they carry the correct number of chromosomes.
These embryos are cultured and monitored for development. After five days, embryos which appear to be developing normally are suitable for PGS embryo biopsy and genetic analysis. The genetic analysis of each removed cell takes place at a specialist genetic centre in the UK.
There is a risk of a false positive result (an embryo is deemed abnormal and discarded but is in fact chromosomally normal) and also a risk of a false negative rate (an embryo is deemed normal and transferred but is in fact chromosomally abnormal).
By avoiding the transfer of aneuploid embryos (embryos with extra or missing chromosomes) PGS significantly increases the chance of having a successful pregnancy after embryo transfer. It also decreases the chance of miscarriage and, considerably reduces the chance of having a baby with a chromosome anomaly.
Endometriosis is a condition where the endometrial tissue, found in the lining of the womb, grows in areas outside of the womb. This tissue can be found on the ovaries, in the Fallopian tubes, on the bowel and in the pelvic cavity. Each month, hormones released by the body cause this tissue to build up causing pain, inflammation and scarring.
To become pregnant, the complex processes of ovulation and fertilisation need to work just right. Stress, anxiety, excessive weight loss/weight gain and strenuous exercise may all cause irregular ovulation. Hormonal imbalances such as high levels of the hormone Prolactin may also affect ovulation. Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a common female health problem in which there is an imbalance in a woman’s hormone levels. It is characterised by the presence of small cysts on the ovaries and greater than normal levels of male-type hormones in the body. Women with PCOS usually experience irregular ovulation which reduces chances of pregnancy.
The Fallopian tubes allow the transport of the released egg from the ovary into the womb. Anything that blocks these tubes can result in fertility difficulties. Causes of blockage include scarring of the tissue inside the tubes from previous surgery or from Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID).
Increasing age is one of the most significant causes of subfertility in women. As a woman gets older, the number of eggs in her ovaries decreases rapidly and those remaining are of a poorer quality. Many women choose to delay starting a family perhaps due to career or financial reasons. However a woman’s fertility rapidly declines once she enters her 30’s. For example, a healthy 30-year-old woman has about a 20% chanceeach month to get pregnant. By age 40, this reduces to about 5% each month.
For some couples who are trying to become pregnant, something goes wrong along the way, resulting in infertility or subfertility. The cause of this can involve one or both partners . Generally speaking, in about one-third of cases, infertility is due to a male cause, in another one-third of cases, infertility is due to both the man and woman and in the remaining one-third of cases, infertility is due to a cause involving only the woman.
