Dr. Kaylen Silverberg Discusses Preimplantation Genetic Testing and Getting Pregnant Faster on Fox News—New York

Dr. Kaylen Silverberg, an Ovation Fertility partner physician, uses preimplantation genetic testing, PGT, to better assess the likelihood that any given embryo will implant and grow into a healthy baby. “Looking at the genes, rather than judging from outward appearances, allows us to select the healthiest embryo for transfer to the uterus. While this doesn’t guarantee a live birth, it does increase the likelihood far beyond what we’ve had in the past. With this method, we can do a much better job of helping women achieve a pregnancy the first time with IVF. Whereas before we had national success rates of 30-40% per embryo transfer, now we are able to reach rates as high as 70-80% per embryo transfer.”

Preimplantation genetic testing, PGT, is a new scientific methodology for selecting an embryo that has the highest probability of becoming a baby. This technology not only increases IVF live birth rates far beyond what is currently experienced by couples, it also reduces the risk of miscarriage and allows for the transfer of a single embryo – essentially eliminating multiple pregnancy. The potential to have a single IVF cycle brings the cost of IVF down significantly for patients, insurers and society, effectively mitigating the down stream costs associated with multiple pregnancy.
