Dimitra Christopikou, Head of the PGT lab, Embryogenesis IVF Unit Athens

As I have already mentioned, every lab is different and has different pregnancy rates, clinical pregnancy rates and live birth rates therefore I can only speak on behalf of our lab. In our hands PGTA tests fail around 40%. We have 60%of clinical pregnancy rates that achieve live births, so 40% of the cases where we do a single embryo transfer, the embryo fails, it does not implant and does not lead to a pregnancy.
