Preimplantation Genetic Screening (PGS)
The field of human reproduction is constantly advancing, bringing tangible benefits to patients. This is most recently evident for women experiencing the doubt and grief common with recurrent pregnancy loss. Yet, there is new hope with recently developed techniques that allow selection and transfer of only the most healthy embryos.
The approach, using Preimplantation Genetic Screening (PGS), has been shown to reduce the chance of miscarriage. In fact, it appears to improve the reproductive chances for some older women.
Finally, a way of reducing the impact of a woman’s age on her outcome.
This breakthrough technology was first brought to the area by Dr. Ripps in 2010 and implemented by the leaders at New Leaders In Fertility & Endocrinology. The successes have been astoundingly positive.
Hope has come at last for a painfully frustrating and too common experience for women. If you or someone you know has suffered from pregnancy loss, please be encouraged and encouraging to them to learn more.
