What is the procedure for PGT in the context of Histology?
The procedure for PGT typically involves several steps:
Ovarian Stimulation: Women undergo hormonal treatments to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs. Egg Retrieval: Eggs are collected from the ovaries using a fine needle. Fertilization: The eggs are fertilized with sperm to create embryos. Embryo Biopsy: A few cells are carefully removed from the embryo, usually at the blastocyst stage (day 5-6). Genetic Analysis: The biopsied cells are analyzed in a laboratory to identify genetic abnormalities. Embryo Transfer: Healthy embryos are selected and transferred to the uterus for implantation.
