What is PGS?
The term PGS (preimplantation genetic screening) relates to a treatment used in conjunction with fertility treatment. It is not used for couples with a known genetic condition, but is believed by some health professionals to increase the success rate of fertility treatment. The British Fertility Society has made a recent statement indicating that there is no conclusive evidence that PGS is beneficial and indeed some papers have shown that it may actually reduce the chance of success. Until large studies known as randomised control trials have been completed, PGS is not a service that we will consider offering.
