Recurrent Miscarriage and IVF: How PGT Can Help

A screening-for-loss explainer approached with the care this topic deserves.

⚕ Scope: Chromosomal and genetic-disease screening only
Bottom line up front: For some patients experiencing recurrent pregnancy loss, chromosomal abnormalities in embryos are a contributing factor — PGT-A can help identify chromosomally normal embryos for transfer, though it isn't the answer for every case of recurrent loss.

Why chromosomal factors matter in recurrent loss

A significant portion of early pregnancy losses relate to chromosomal abnormalities in the embryo — for patients experiencing this pattern repeatedly, PGT-A screening before transfer can help identify embryos without this specific risk factor.

What PGT-A can't address

Recurrent loss has multiple possible causes beyond chromosomal factors — uterine structural issues, clotting disorders, immunological factors, and others. A thorough recurrent-loss workup, not PGT-A alone, is the appropriate starting point.

Why this deserves careful, individualized evaluation

If you've experienced recurrent loss, a comprehensive evaluation with a reproductive endocrinologist — not a single-test solution — is the responsible path forward. PGT-A may be one component of that broader evaluation, not a standalone answer.

PGT content on this site is scoped strictly to chromosomal screening (PGT-A) and known genetic disease screening (PGT-M/PGT-SR) — not sex selection or non-medical trait selection.

See colombianivf.com for a thorough evaluation with Colombia-based reproductive endocrinologists experienced in recurrent loss.

The Takeaway

If recurrent loss applies to your situation, pursue a comprehensive workup rather than assuming PGT-A alone will identify the cause — and know that support for the emotional weight of this experience matters as much as the clinical evaluation.
