Noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT)
NIPT helps to learn a lot about the baby during the first trimester. This is the most progressive way to diagnose chromosomal disorders and other abnormalities, utilized in all developed countries in the world.
The testing analyzes small fragments of DNA that are circulating in a pregnant woman’s blood.
The testing is recommended when:
- The woman is older than 35 years old;
- Possible genetic abnormalities suspicions after the ultrasound;
- The pregnancy achieved with the use of IVF or other VRT
- The risk of genetic abnormalities detected during the biochemical screening;
- Genetic abnormalities detected in other children’s DNA;
- A history of stillbirth;
- Premature labor or recurrent miscarriage;
- Unexplained infertility.
The key advantages of NIPT include its high accuracy and safety. The possibility of diagnostic mistake is only 0.01%.
For this testing, the mother’s venous blood is used. The blood taking procedure is completely safe for both the baby, and the mother.
One more advantage is that the testing can be performed very early in the pregnancy – in the 9th week.
Diagnostic capabilities of the testing
The testing can detect the following diseases and abnormalities:
- Down syndrome;
- Edwards syndrome;
- Patau syndrome;
- Turner syndrome;
- Klinefelter syndrome;
- Triple X syndrome;
- Double Y syndrome.
While analyzing the fetus’ DNA, it is possible to identify its sex.
Even though NIPT is a high-accuracy method of diagnosis, it is, nevertheless, a screening test. Which means that should any abnormalities be detected during the testing, they still must be confirmed by an invasive test, such as fetal karyotyping.
The testing is not performed:
- Earlier then the 9th week of pregnancy;
- If selective (multifetal) reduction has been performed;
- In cases of multifetal pregnancies with three or more fetuses;
- When the baby is carried by a surrogate mother;
- When the pregnancy is achieved by means of IVF with the use of donor oocytes.

IVF after 40 years
IVF after 40 years
Pregnancy after 40 is a fairly rare occurrence even if you try to conceive naturally. IVF can be a possible solution to this problem for women over 40.
The ability to get pregnant, gestate and give birth to a child is determined by the age of woman planning to become a mother.
How to get pregnant over 40?
For a woman after 40 years a possibility of the natural conception and normal pregnancy decreases year after year.
Modern ART and IVF come to help patients over 40. Such methods are actively used in AltraVita center. Such methods are actively used in AltraVita center. To determine the possibility of getting pregnant with her own eggs for a woman over 40, ovarian reserve assessment is required.
For this reason the following options are used:
- Determination of AMH (anti mullerian hormone) - allows you to predict the chances of conception, although it does not affect fertility itself and decreases with age;;
- FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) - the ovarian reserve means sufficient if there is a value of 10 mIU / ml and below;;
- Antral follicles count — the follicles are counted during ultrasound examination.
At this age IVF is often performed in natural cycle, because a large number of eggs cannot be obtained during a stimulation.
Altravita Clinic occupies leading positions in the field of reproductive medicine, the treatment of female and male infertility, cytogenetic and molecular-genetic studies.
