The third generation of IVF is a means of assisted conception for infertile couples suffering from hereditary diseases and chromosomal abnormalities, and there is no clinical reason not to recommend the third generation of IVF, and infertile couples who do have this condition need to adopt the third generation of IVF to help them conceive.
There are three main generations of IVF techniques, the first generation of IVF is mainly for female infertility factors and the use of treatment, such as female ovulation disorders, fallopian tube blockage and so on. The second generation of IVF is mainly for male infertility factors using IVF techniques, such as severe oligozoospermia. While the third generation IVF is mainly for those with genetic diseases and chromosomal abnormalities, embryo chromosome genetic testing is carried out before embryo transfer and healthy embryos are transferred.
When infertile couples use different assisted reproduction techniques to help them conceive, they need to choose the appropriate IVF technique according to their own situation combined with the doctor’s guidance. Since embryos from third-generation IVF often carry genetic or chromosomal abnormalities, the success rate may be lower than that of first-generation and second-generation IVF.
