As LGBTQ+ individuals and couples pursue surrogacy, ensuring the health and well-being of your future child is a top priority. Preimplantation Genetic Screening (PGS) and Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) are essential tools that can help intended parents select the healthiest embryos for a successful pregnancy.
PGS is a technique used to screen embryos for chromosomal abnormalities, such as missing or extra chromosomes. These abnormalities can result in conditions like Down syndrome or miscarriage. By identifying embryos with the correct number of chromosomes, PGS improves the chances of a healthy pregnancy and reduces the risk of complications.
PGD takes this a step further, allowing for the screening of specific genetic conditions that may run in a family. For LGBTQ+ families using an egg or sperm donor, PGD can identify potential genetic disorders and help ensure that only healthy embryos are used in the surrogacy process.
