Author: Women's Health Melbourne July 21, 2024 Duration: 36:40

We have recorded many episodes in the past on Preconception Genetic Testing (PGT) – the science, what we are looking for and what we can know about embryos created in IVF through genetic evaluation.  

This episode is about what to expect when you are using PGT when trying to conceive.
