In this episode, Dr. Norbert Gleicher discusses what has been learned from transferring embryos identified as chromosomally abnormal during IVF treatment. He explores how these cases have challenged assumptions about embryo selection, implantation potential, and the role of genetic testing in fertility care, providing important insights for patients and clinicians navigating IVF decisions.
