The Egg Factor

PGT-A on Trial: Groundbreaking Interview with the Lawyer Taking On the Fertility Industry

Center For Human Reproduction

In this explosive episode of The Egg Factor, CHR’s Dr. Norbert Gleicher sits down with Allison Freeman, the lead attorney behind a wave of groundbreaking class-action lawsuits targeting the PGT-A industry.

Allison, a practicing attorney and IVF patient herself, opens up about what pushed her to take legal action against some of the biggest genetic testing labs in reproductive medicine. From the misleading marketing claims to the emotional fallout experienced by hundreds of patients, this candid conversation peels back the layers of an industry under fire.

Together, Dr. Gleicher and Allison unpack:

  • Why so many patients feel misled about PGT-A
  • How the test may have impacted treatment decisions and outcomes
  • What fertility clinics and genetic labs aren’t telling patients
  • The growing power of private equity in IVF
  • And what patients can do to advocate for themselves

This episode is perfect for anyone undergoing or considering IVF, as well as clinicians, advocates, and journalists following the future of reproductive medicine.

After years of treatments, including IVF, Allison Freeman is a proud member and advocate of the fertility community. Utilizing her personal experience and law license, she began representing others during their fertility journeys and is at the forefront of issues related to treatments.
