Can embryos labeled as “abnormal” still lead to healthy babies? Are fertility clinics discarding embryos that could result in a pregnancy?

In this episode of Taco Bout Fertility Tuesday, Dr. Mark Amols breaks down the controversy surrounding Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidy (PGT-A). You’ve seen the headlines — abnormal embryos resulting in live births — but was the test actually wrong, or was it the interpretation?

Learn the truth behind PGT-A and mosaicism, the evolution of embryo testing methods (FISH, aCGH, SNP, and NGS), and what the latest data says about success rates when transferring embryos diagnosed as aneuploid.

Whether you're trying to understand your PGT-A results, deciding whether to transfer a mosaic embryo, or just looking for clarity in a confusing area of IVF science, this episode is your guide.

🎯 What You’ll Learn:

• The difference between aneuploid and mosaic embryos
• Why older tests misclassified embryos
• How NGS changed the game in embryo testing
• What prospective studies show about live birth outcomes
• Whether you should worry about throwing away viable embryos

Tune in to get the facts, ease your fears, and feel empowered in your fertility journey.
