Clinical Topics

• Preimplantation genetic testing: PGT has revolutionized how we practice IVF - allowing for selection of embryos with high reproductive potential, lowering the chance of miscarriage and the risk of multiple (twin) pregnancy by allowing for the transfer of single embryos at a time, without compromising overall outcome.
• Fertility preservation: The ability to preserve one’s fertility and take control of their reproductive timeline via egg/embryo freezing is empowering to be set up for success, should fertility issues arise later in life.
• Mental health: Infertility is recognized to be a significant source of stress - physically, emotionally, and from an interpersonal standpoint.
