In this video, Dr. Norbert Gleicher explains the key differences between PGT-A, PGT-M, and PGD, which are all types of preimplantation genetic testing that is used by many fertility clinics during IVF. Many patients hear these terms throughout their journey, but are not quite sure what they really mean or when each test is actually helpful. Dr. Gleicher breaks down the science of each of these tests and gives his insights into which ones are useful. 

This discussion may help clarify common misconceptions, outline the limitations of each approach, and provide important context for patients considering genetic testing as part of their IVF treatment.

As we begin a new year, Dr. Norbert Gleicher shares what truly sets CHR apart and what patients can expect when starting treatment with us.

CHR is known for working with patients who often need more individualized care, including women over 40, patients with diminished ovarian reserve, repeat IVF failures, and complex medical histories. In this video, Dr. Gleicher explains why CHR does not believe in one size fits all fertility treatment and how every patient’s care is built around their specific biology, history, and goals.

You will hear what happens after your initial consultation, how in depth diagnostic workups guide treatment decisions, and why CHR closely monitors patients throughout stimulation to adjust protocols in real time. Dr. Gleicher also discusses CHR’s approach to customized stimulation, timing of retrieval, and individualized embryo transfer decisions, including why some patients benefit from Day 3 transfers while others do not.

This offers a clear look at CHR’s philosophy, our commitment to questioning industry norms, and what patients can expect when choosing a clinic that prioritizes thoughtful, data driven, and deeply personalized care.

The New Year often comes with the phrase “New Year, New You,” but for those navigating fertility challenges, that message can feel disheartening, like you are constantly starting from scratch. In this special New Year’s Day episode, Dr. Norbert Gleicher reframes the conversation: you are not starting over, you are starting forward. 

Drawing on decades of experience, Dr. Gleicher explains how every appointment, test, and treatment builds knowledge and resilience that carry into the future. He discusses why progress in fertility care is rarely linear, how individualized treatment plans matter more than cookie-cutter timelines, and how patients can embrace the New Year with both honesty and hope. 

This episode is a reminder that your journey is not erased by setbacks or by the turning of the calendar. Each step brings you forward—and this year can hold the possibility of new beginnings and new family.
