How long does PGT-M take to work for recurrent miscarriage?

PGT-M is relevant when a specific inherited condition has been identified as part of the pregnancy-loss evaluation. The laboratory may need blood or saliva results from the couple and sometimes relatives before creating a test for embryo samples. IVF then provides embryos for biopsy, and embryos may be frozen while the laboratory prepares its report.

Recurrent miscarriage can have genetic, uterine, hormonal, clotting, or unexplained contributors. PGT-M addresses only the tested inherited condition; it does not explain every miscarriage or ensure that a later pregnancy will continue.

Ask for genetic counselling and a review of pregnancy-loss records before starting IVF. Confirm whether a familial variant is known and whether the laboratory can design a test for it. Request a timeline that separates test preparation from ovarian stimulation, embryo development, biopsy, results, transfer, and pregnancy testing.

During fertility treatment, seek prompt clinical advice for severe pain, heavy bleeding, faintness, breathing difficulty, or rapid abdominal swelling. If pregnancy occurs, contact the maternity team for heavy bleeding, severe pain, dizziness, or shoulder-tip pain, rather than waiting for a scheduled scan.

What genetic finding would make PGT-M appropriate for us? What preparation is needed before IVF? Which other causes of recurrent miscarriage should be assessed, and what follow-up testing is offered after a positive pregnancy test?
