How PGD is performed

Embryo transfer and implantation

After mutation analysis of the blastomeres has been completed, once an embryo is predicted to be free from the genetic disease for which testing was performed, embryos resulted without genetic anomalies are transferred to the patient.

Embryo transfer is a 15 minute procedure accomplished by inserting a catheter (preloaded with embryos) into the uterine cavity through the cervical canal.

This procedure is often performed under ultrasound guidance
