PGT-A: Precision or Peril—Are We Discarding Good Embryos?

Tonight on the Sperm Meets Egg Show, we’re diving into one of the most debated questions in IVF: Are we throwing away embryos that could become healthy babies? We’ll explore the science behind Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidy (PGT-A), challenge the idea that “abnormal” always means non-viable, and break down the latest data, controversies, and clinical insights. Join Dr. Wael Salem and me for a candid conversation about what PGT-A can—and can’t—really tell us, and how this impacts real-world decisions for patients and providers alike. 🕕 Live Tonight at 6 PM Arizona Time 📺 Watch on: YouTube • Instagram • Facebook • LinkedIn 🌐 Or go to www.SpermMeetsEgg.com 🎤 WANT TO JOIN THE SHOW LIVE AS A GUEST? 👉 Click here to join us on air: https://streamyard.com/pbgxv4vpeq [https://streamyard.com/pbgxv4vpeq] 💬 Ask questions.
