At the heart of our mission is the desire to help create healthy families, one child at a time. We strive for impressive pregnancy rates while ensuring safety is always a priority. Achieving high pregnancy success with minimal risks benefits both the mother and child, ultimately fostering the growth of healthy families.
So how do we manage to maintain both high pregnancy rates and low risks? It all comes down to meticulous care in handling embryos, maximizing their potential for successful pregnancies, and carefully selecting the best ones for transfer. By focusing on a single selected embryo, we significantly elevate pregnancy rates while minimizing risks associated with multiple gestations, miscarriages, and chromosomal abnormalities.
Insights from Dr. Sam Thompson
At a recent conference, Dr. Sam Thompson, a notable expert in reproductive health, shared valuable insights on the benefits of elective Single Embryo Transfer (eSET). He discussed the challenges posed by aneuploidy—a condition where embryos have an abnormal number of chromosomes—which is often linked to decreased fertility with age. As women age, the likelihood of chromosomal errors increases, leading to failed pregnancies or miscarriages.
Traditionally, multiple embryos were transferred to counteract this issue, but with advancements in screening and the ability to store embryos effectively, we can now safely transfer one healthy embryo at a time. Comprehensive Chromosome Screening (CCS) is a state-of-the-art technique that allows us to count chromosomes and select the healthiest embryos for transfer.
Dr. Thompson reviewed his findings on eSET, revealing that over half of the transfers led to pregnancy, with a remarkably low twin rate of just 1.2%. These numbers are not only impressive but align closely with the successes we’ve seen in our practice.
We’re committed to continuing our innovation in this field, seeing a rise in successful pregnancies while reducing complications associated with miscarriages and chromosomal conditions. This ongoing progress is just another step toward our goal of nurturing healthy families, one joyous baby at a time.
