Reply to comment by dangerWW in I'm Dr Joseph Davis, Medical Director at Cayman Fertility Center. AMA about fertility, reproduction or IVF treatment. by DrJosephDavisDO

Hi u/dangerWW,

I am sorry to hear about your sister's situation. The best advances in fertility treatments have been in the field of pre-implantation genetic testing (PGT). Using IVF, embryos can be tested safely for specific genetic conditions and then the unaffected embryos can be selected to have a baby without the condition. This is something many clinics including my own specialize in. Looking at my own clinic's data, we have a >85% pregnancy rate using PGT, so this is a very successful option to consider.

What’s your live birth rate? In the end, that the most important number.

Hi @sqic80,

Yes live birth rate is very important. With single euploid embryo transfers our current live birth rate averages 74% over the year.
