Qualifying for IVF with PGT Treatment

In order to qualify for this treatment, our fertility doctor in Houston, TX, will look at a number of factors:

The Patient's Age

Age plays a major role in the potential for success with IVF. As you age, the success rate decreases but remains above that of natural methods.

Months Spent Trying to Conceive

We typically recommend a fertility evaluation for patients under the age of 35 who have been trying to conceive for six to 12 months. If you are over 35, that time period is shortened to four to six months.

Previous Attempts

Dr. Kristiansen and her team rarely recommend this treatment as the first option for dealing with infertility. However, if you have tried other methods, such as artificial insemination and fertility medication, our practice may recommend IVF with PGT.

Type of Fertility Issue

Not every patient can benefit from in vitro fertilization. We will recommend the most promising course of treatment for you based on your fertility evaluation.

IVF Can Help Patients Overcome a Range of Fertility Concerns

  • Uterine or Fallopian Tube Conditions 
  • Low Sperm Count 
  • Ovulation Issues 
  • Endometriosis 
  • Problems with Sperm Survival 
  • Primary Ovarian Insufficiency 
  • Overactive Antibodies 
  • Inheritable Genetic Diseases

Advanced IVF Care at Houston Fertility Center

IVF remains the most effective fertility treatment, and our team in Houston, TX, offers advanced protocols like ICSI and embryo biopsy. Dr. Sonja Kristiansen personally guides patients through egg retrieval, fertilization, and embryo transfer. Take the first step and book a consultation so our team can get to know your story.

Timeline  for IVF With PGT Treatment

We perform preimplantation genetic testing as a part of every IVF and INVOcell cycle. This allows us to transfer only the healthiest embryos to increase your chances of a successful pregnancy. 

Our own in-house, state-of-the-art laboratory makes treatment more affordable than treatment at other centers. This allows us to provide PGT as a standard part of every IVF cycle.

Start of Cycle

Our own in-house, state-of-the-art laboratory makes treatment more affordable than treatment at other centers. This allows us to provide PGT as a standard part of every IVF cycle.

Baseline Testing

Within the first three days of your cycle, we will want you to come to our office for a baseline ultrasound and blood test. These tests enable us to monitor the effects of the fertility medications in future appointments and help us determine exactly when the injection schedule should start.

Ovarian Stimulation

Hormone medications are injected for several days, stimulating the ovaries to produce multiple follicles. The development of these follicles is monitored through frequent vaginal ultrasounds and blood tests. Once the follicles are matured to the appropriate size, a second hormonal injection prepares the eggs for retrieval. 

Semen Processing

Shortly before egg retrieval, a semen sample will be collected and processed to isolate the strongest and most active sperm. These sperm will be injected into each aspirated egg. We strongly encourage patients to consider freezing a semen specimen several weeks in advance of the egg retrieval date. 

Egg Retrieval

Under light sedation, the doctor aspirates each mature follicle with a needle guided by ultrasound. The eggs are then passed on to the embryologist to identify and fertilize. At this stage, the embryologist uses intracytoplasmic sperm injections (ICSI), a micromanipulation technique used to inseminate the retrieved eggs. ICSI involves injecting a single sperm directly into a mature egg to increase the probability of fertilization. 

Fertilization Evaluation

14 to 18 hours after the eggs were inseminated with the sperm, they are evaluated by the embryologist to confirm fertilization. If fertilization occurs, the zygotes (fertilized eggs) will remain in culture for five to six days. 

Embryo Biopsy and Cryopreservation

Embryo biopsy is a procedure that involves removing a few cells from the embryos to test for chromosome abnormalities. We perform preimplantation genetic testing as a part of every IVF cycle. A laser is used to remove cells from an area that will eventually become the placenta and, therefore, unlikely to affect further development. To allow the genetic specialists enough time to perform the chromosome analysis, all embryos biopsied for testing are cryopreserved (frozen) by vitrification. The frozen embryos are safely stored in liquid nitrogen pending the genetic test results.

Frozen Embryo Transfer

Because PGT requires the embryos to be frozen, frozen embryo transfer (FET) is performed with every IVF cycle. Once the PGT analysis is complete, the embryologist is able to choose only chromosomally normal embryos for FET. The FET process entails preparing the uterus for transfer using estrogen and progesterone hormone supplementation. These hormonal supplements will aid with embryo implantation and early pregnancy support. After approximately two weeks of hormonal supplementation, the selected embryo is thawed and transferred into the uterus. A pregnancy test is scheduled for 12-14 days later.

IVF FAQs

How long does an IVF cycle take at Houston Fertility Center?

Each IVF cycle is tailored to the individual, but the process typically spans several weeks. After preliminary testing and medication preparation, the cycle begins with stimulation and ends with frozen embryo transfer approximately 4–6 weeks later.

Do you perform embryo biopsy/ICSI?

Yes. Our embryologists perform both embryo biopsy and ICSI as part of every IVF cycle. These advanced lab techniques allow us to test embryos for genetic health and improve fertilization by injecting a single sperm directly into each egg.
