What is Preimplantation Genetic Testing?

PGT refers to genetic screening of embryos before implantation to increase the chance of a successful pregnancy and a healthy baby. There are two main types of PGT:

  • PGT-A (Aneuploidy): Screens embryos for chromosomal abnormalities to improve IVF success rates and reduce miscarriage risk.
  • PGT-M (Monogenic): Screens embryos for specific genetic disorders, such as cystic fibrosis or sickle cell anemia, ensuring only unaffected embryos are implanted.

Both procedures significantly enhance IVF outcomes by selecting genetically healthy embryos. Thailand's fertility laws permit gender selection, a procedure often combined with PGT.

Step-by-Step Process of PGT in Thailand

1. Initial Consultation & Genetic Counseling

Your fertility specialist will discuss your family history, fertility goals, and the genetic tests recommended based on your specific circumstances. Tests may involve blood samples or saliva swabs from prospective parents to identify genetic risks.

2. IVF Treatment & Egg Retrieval

You'll undergo a standard IVF treatment cycle involving ovarian stimulation and egg retrieval. Retrieved eggs are then fertilized in the laboratory, forming embryos.

3. Embryo Biopsy for PGT

After embryos reach the blastocyst stage (typically day 5 or 6 after fertilization), a few cells are carefully biopsied from each embryo by skilled embryologists. The procedure does not harm embryo development.

4. Genetic Testing (PGT-A or PGT-M)

Biopsied cells undergo genetic testing:

  • PGT-A (Aneuploidy screening) identifies embryos with abnormal numbers of chromosomes, reducing risks of miscarriage and genetic disorders.
  • PGT-M (Monogenic testing) identifies embryos with specific inherited genetic disorders, such as cystic fibrosis or sickle cell anemia, preventing hereditary diseases.

Results typically return within 1–2 weeks, after which embryos can be selected for transfer.

5. Embryo Transfer

Only genetically normal embryos are transferred into the uterus, greatly increasing pregnancy success rates and reducing the risk of miscarriage.

Why Choose Thailand for PGT?

Thailand has emerged as an ideal destination for PGT, offering multiple advantages for international patients:

  • Legal Flexibility: Unlike many countries, Thailand permits gender selection for medical reasons, making it an appealing destination for patients seeking specific family planning options.
  • World-Class Fertility Clinics: Thai fertility clinics, provide internationally recognized expertise, advanced genetic testing laboratories, and proven success rates.
  • Affordability: Costs for PGT procedures in Thailand are significantly lower compared to the U.S., Australia, or Europe, often saving patients 50% or more on overall expenses.

Cost Breakdown: Preimplantation Genetic Testing in Thailand (2025)

Here's a clear breakdown of typical costs involved with PGT in Thailand:

Service Estimated Cost (USD)
Initial Consultation & Genetic Counseling $200 – $400
IVF Procedure & Embryo Creation $3,500 – $5,500
PGT-A Testing (per embryo) $200 – $400 per embryo
PGT-M Testing (Customized Genetic Test) $1,500 – $3,500
Embryo Transfer Procedure $1,200 – $2,000
Annual Embryo Storage Fee $300 – $500/year

What Happens After PGT?

Once embryos are genetically tested, you’ll work closely with your fertility specialist to plan embryo transfer. You can either proceed immediately or freeze embryos for future use, giving you the ultimate flexibility.

We are clients from Australia and we could not recommend Konkai health anymore!

We are so pleased with the level of service from Pam in helping us organise a surgery for my husband which took place in Thailand.

We had to change a few appointments here and there (life happened on our end) and Pam was all too willing to help with no problems.
