Genetic testing in IVF is often presented as a simple yes-or-no decision.
In reality, it’s far more nuanced.

In this episode of The Embryo Report, we take a clear, honest look at embryo genetic testing — what it can truly tell you, where its limits begin, and how patients should interpret results without fear or false certainty.

Joined by Rick Slifkin, IVF laboratory director

and Hannah Green, genetic counselor, we discuss:

• What PGT-A, PGT-M, and newer forms of genetic testing actually measure
• Why accuracy depends on biology, lab practices, and interpretation
• What mosaic embryo results really mean — and why they are often misunderstood
• When genetic testing is helpful, and when it may add cost without clear benefit
• The growing conversation around polygenic testing (PGT-P): science vs hype
• Why “healthy embryo” is often the wrong phrase
• How patients can make informed decisions without unnecessary anxiety

This is a patient-first conversation designed to replace confusion with clarity — and to empower listeners with context, not fear.
