Do you recommend that we do prenatal screening?

PGD recommends that prenatal testing is discussed with your clinician at the appropriate time as you would in any pregnancy. However, it is the patient's decision and must be made based on a number of factors and following discussions with their clinician.


Is there any difference in fertilization rates between IVF and ICSI?

The fertilisation rates are similar and range at approximately 70% of mature eggs. Fertilization is indicated by an equal contribution from both egg and sperm and is seen in the laboratory as the presence of two pronuclei approximately 18 hours after the sperm and the egg are combined.


Is ICSI known to cause birth defects?

To date there have been no conclusive studies indicating that ICSI induces birth defects. The outcomes from all assisted reproductive technologies continue to be monitored by various governmental and professional groups around the globe. In Australia the outcomes are collated by ANZARD. This is released yearly; however the data is delayed by 2 years due to collection and analysis requirements. Genea contributes all of our data to this group.
