Embryo Red Flags? Let's Talk PGT

🎙 Episode 13: Embryo Red Flags? Let’s Talk PGT

Embryo testing can feel like decoding an alphabet soup-and in this episode, we’re finally breaking it all down. Laura and Brandis get real about preimplantation genetic testing (PGT), who it’s for, and how to decide if it’s right for you.

🧬 What We Cover:

• What PGT-A, PGT-M, and PGT-SR actually mean

• The difference between carrier screening, karyotypes, and embryo testing

• Why some patients test every embryo-and others don’t test at all

• How PGT can impact embryo selection, miscarriage risk, and live birth rates

• What “mosaic embryos” are and why they’re controversial

• Compassionate transfers, family balancing, and navigating clinic policies

• The ethics of emerging tech like polygenic testing (aka embryo red flag overload)

💬 This episode is packed with insights to help you have informed convos with your doctor-and make decisions that actually align with your values and goals.
