IVF with PGT from £3,440
Starting Price
From £3,440 for IVF with PGT-A (final quote depends on number of embryos tested and PGT type).
Results Timeline
PGT results take 2-4 weeks after embryo biopsy, requiring a freeze-all and subsequent FET cycle.
Biopsy Stage
Trophectoderm biopsy performed at blastocyst stage (day 5-6) by experienced embryologists.
Improved Transfer Rates
Treatment packages in Istanbul are priced more competitively than many comparable private-clinic quotes in Western Europe, the UK, or the US.
Why Patients Choose Turkey for IVF with PGT
Turkey offers advanced preimplantation genetic testing at significantly lower costs than Western Europe or North America. Leading Turkish fertility centers use next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology and have partnerships with international genetics laboratories.
Advanced Genetics Technology
Turkish fertility centers use NGS-based PGT platforms providing accurate chromosomal analysis with rapid turnaround times.
Experienced Biopsy Teams
Embryologists with high-volume biopsy experience ensure minimal embryo damage during trophectoderm sampling.
Significant Cost Savings
Treatment packages in Istanbul are priced more competitively than many comparable private-clinic quotes in Western Europe, the UK, or the US.
Comprehensive Genetic Counseling
Genetic counselors help patients understand PGT results, mosaic embryo decisions, and implications for future pregnancies.
PGT adds significant value to IVF treatment but also adds cost and complexity. Not every patient benefits equally from genetic testing. Your fertility specialist should explain whether PGT is clinically indicated for your specific situation.
Quick PGT Cost & Planning Snapshot
Your IVF-PGT cost depends on the type of genetic testing, number of embryos biopsied, and whether additional IVF procedures are needed.
- Type of PGT needed: aneuploidy (PGT-A), monogenic (PGT-M), or structural (PGT-SR)
- Patient age and expected number of blastocysts for biopsy
- IVF stimulation protocol and ICSI requirements
- Specific genetic condition to be tested (for PGT-M)
- Whether custom probe development is needed (PGT-M)
- Frozen embryo transfer cycle costs after results
- Genetic counseling requirements
What to share for a faster assessment
- Reason for PGT: recurrent miscarriage, age, known genetic condition
- Previous genetic test results for either partner
- Prior IVF cycle history and embryo quality outcomes
- Hormone panel and ovarian reserve assessment
Biopsy Process5-10 trophectoderm cells removed from each blastocyst without affecting the inner cell mass that becomes the baby.
Results Waiting TimePGT-A results typically available in 2-3 weeks; PGT-M may take longer due to custom probe requirements.
Euploid Transfer RateTreatment packages in Istanbul are priced more competitively than many comparable private-clinic quotes in Western Europe, the UK, or the US.
Freeze-All RequiredAll embryos are vitrified after biopsy while awaiting genetic results, with FET scheduled in a subsequent cycle.

Mapa Health IVF-PGT Pricing (Consultation-Led)
Mapa Health currently offers IVF with PGT-A starting from £3,440, including fertility specialist consultations, ovarian stimulation monitoring, egg retrieval, ICSI, embryo culture to blastocyst, trophectoderm biopsy, NGS genetic analysis, vitrification, accommodation, and VIP airport transfers. Final pricing confirmed after genetic counseling and treatment planning.
PGT-M cycles require additional time and cost for custom probe development. PGT-SR cases are quoted individually based on the specific chromosomal rearrangement.
PGT Cost by Number of Embryos Tested
PGT is typically priced per embryo biopsied, meaning the total cost varies based on how many blastocysts reach biopsy stage. The IVF cycle cost remains fixed, but the genetics laboratory fee scales with embryo count.
| Embryo Count | Typical Scenario | Indicative PGT-A Add-On Cost | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1-2 embryos | Low ovarian reserve, older patients, mini IVF | £690- £1,030 | Lower testing cost but fewer chances of finding a euploid embryo |
| 3-5 embryos | Average IVF response, moderate egg yield | £1,030- £1,550 | Good balance of cost vs diagnostic value; most common scenario |
| 6-8 embryos | Good ovarian response, younger patients | £1,550- £2,150 | Higher per-cycle cost but excellent chance of finding euploid embryos |
| 8+ embryos | High responders, PCOS patients | £2,150+ | Maximum testing cost; surplus euploid embryos can be frozen for siblings |
Understanding PGT Pricing Structure
- IVF cycle fee covers stimulation, retrieval, ICSI, and culture to blastocyst
- Biopsy fee covers the embryologist's micromanipulation work
- Genetics lab fee covers NGS analysis (often priced per embryo)
- Vitrification fee covers freezing all biopsied embryos while awaiting results
- FET fee covers the subsequent frozen embryo transfer cycle
Questions to Ask Before Accepting a PGT Quote
- Is the price per embryo or a flat fee for all embryos biopsied?
- Which genetics laboratory performs the analysis?
- What is the turnaround time for PGT results?
- Is the frozen embryo transfer cycle included or separate?
- Is genetic counseling included in the package?
Turkey vs UK / USA / Europe: IVF-PGT Cost Comparison
PGT adds a significant cost layer to IVF treatment in all countries. Turkey's cost advantage is particularly pronounced for PGT cycles because both the IVF and genetics components are priced lower.

What Is Included in an IVF-PGT Package in Turkey?
IVF-PGT packages are more complex than standard IVF packages because they involve additional laboratory steps, a genetics laboratory partnership, and typically a two-stage process (IVF cycle + separate FET cycle).
IVF + Biopsy Phase
- Fertility consultations and genetic counseling
- Ovarian stimulation monitoring
- Egg retrieval and ICSI fertilization
- Blastocyst culture and trophectoderm biopsy
Genetics Analysis Phase
- Sample preparation and shipping to genetics lab
- NGS analysis of all biopsied embryos
- Detailed results report with genetic counselor review
- Embryo vitrification while awaiting results
Transfer Phase (Separate Trip)
- Endometrial preparation with monitoring
- Euploid embryo thawing and transfer
- Post-transfer progesterone support
- Pregnancy test and viability scan coordination
Items Typically Included
- Complete IVF cycle with ICSI
- Trophectoderm biopsy of all viable blastocysts
- NGS genetic analysis and results report
- Embryo vitrification and first-year storage

- Accommodation and transfers for IVF phase
Items Often Excluded
- FET cycle fees (often quoted separately)
- Flights and travel for both trips
- Stimulation medications (varies by clinic)
- Custom probe development for PGT-M
- Additional storage years beyond first year
- Prenatal genetic testing during pregnancy
PGT cycles typically require two trips to Istanbul: one for the IVF cycle and biopsy, and a second for the frozen embryo transfer after results are received. Some clinics offer remote endometrial preparation to minimize the second visit.
PGT Types Explained: PGT-A vs PGT-M vs PGT-SR
Each type of preimplantation genetic testing serves a different clinical purpose. Understanding which test you need determines both the treatment approach and cost.
| Test Type | What It Detects | Who Benefits Most | Key Considerations |
|---|---|---|---|
| PGT-A | Whole chromosome gains or losses (aneuploidy) | Women over 37, recurrent miscarriage, repeated implantation failure, single embryo transfer preference | Most common PGT type; does not require advance custom probe; results in 2-3 weeks |
| PGT-M | Specific single-gene mutations (e.g., CF, SCD, thalassemia, BRCA) | Carriers of known genetic conditions wanting to prevent transmission to children | Requires custom probe development (4-8 weeks lead time); family member DNA samples may be needed |
| PGT-SR | Balanced/unbalanced translocations, inversions, large deletions | Patients with known chromosomal rearrangements causing recurrent miscarriage or infertility | Specialized analysis; higher proportion of embryos may be unbalanced; multiple cycles may be needed |
The Embryo Biopsy Process
- Embryos cultured to blastocyst stage (day 5-6) for optimal biopsy
- Laser-assisted hatching opens the zona pellucida
- 5-10 trophectoderm cells gently aspirated with micropipette
- Cells placed in individual labeled tubes for genetic analysis
- Embryos immediately vitrified after biopsy
Understanding PGT Results
- Euploid: Normal chromosome count; suitable for transfer
- Aneuploid: Abnormal chromosome count; not recommended for transfer
- Mosaic: Mix of normal and abnormal cells; may be transferable after counseling
- No result: Inconclusive analysis; re-biopsy may be possible
Who Benefits Most from IVF with PGT?
PGT is not necessary for every IVF patient. Understanding who benefits most helps you decide whether the additional cost and complexity are justified for your situation.
- Women aged 37 and older (higher aneuploidy rates with increasing age)
- Patients with two or more unexplained miscarriages
- Couples with repeated implantation failure (3+ failed transfers)
- Carriers of known genetic conditions (both autosomal recessive and dominant)
- Patients with known chromosomal rearrangements (translocations, inversions)
- Couples wanting to minimize the risk of multiple pregnancy through confident single embryo transfer
- Patients who want to understand embryo quality before committing to transfer
When PGT May Not Be Recommended
- Young patients (under 35) with good prognosis and no genetic concerns
- Low ovarian reserve where few embryos are expected (testing may leave no viable embryos)
- Patients who cannot afford the additional cost and delay
- First IVF cycle with good indicators where simpler approaches may succeed
A fertility specialist who explains that PGT is not necessary for your case is helping you avoid unnecessary cost and complexity. This is a positive indicator of clinical integrity.
Your IVF-PGT Journey: Two-Phase Treatment Timeline
IVF with PGT is a two-phase process: the IVF cycle with embryo biopsy (first trip), followed by frozen embryo transfer after results (second trip or remote preparation).
Phase 1: IVF Cycle & Biopsy
- Genetic Counseling Consultation to determine which PGT type is needed. For PGT-M, custom probe development begins 4-8 weeks before the IVF cycle.
- Ovarian Stimulation Standard IVF stimulation protocol with daily monitoring. Goal is to produce maximum blastocysts for biopsy and testing.
- Egg Retrieval & ICSI Eggs collected under sedation. ICSI fertilization performed to ensure accurate genetic analysis (avoids contamination from adhering sperm).
- Blastocyst Culture Embryos cultured to day 5-6 blastocyst stage. Only blastocysts of sufficient quality are biopsied.
- Trophectoderm Biopsy Embryologist removes 5-10 cells from outer layer. Cells sent to genetics lab. All embryos vitrified immediately.
- Genetic Analysis NGS analysis performed. Results reported in 2-4 weeks. Genetic counselor reviews findings with you.
Phase 2: Frozen Embryo Transfer
- Results Review Genetic counselor explains results for each embryo. Euploid embryos are ranked for transfer priority based on morphological quality.
- Endometrial Preparation Hormone medication protocol to prepare uterine lining for implantation. Monitoring via ultrasound (can begin in home country).
- Travel to Istanbul Second trip required, typically shorter (3-5 days). Lining thickness confirmed by ultrasound before transfer is scheduled.
- Euploid Embryo Transfer Best quality euploid embryo thawed and transferred under ultrasound guidance. Painless procedure taking 10-15 minutes.
- Pregnancy Test Beta-hCG blood test 10-12 days after transfer. Euploid embryos have significantly implantation rates per transfer.
- Ongoing Support Remaining euploid embryos stay frozen for future sibling attempts or if first transfer is unsuccessful.
Safety and Accuracy of PGT
Understanding PGT's limitations alongside its benefits helps you make a fully informed decision about genetic testing.
Biopsy Safety
- Trophectoderm biopsy does not affect the inner cell mass
- Experienced embryologists minimize embryo damage risk
- Survival rate after thawing biopsied embryos exceeds 95%
Testing Accuracy
- NGS-based PGT-A accuracy is approximately 97-98%
- False positives can occur with mosaic embryos
- Prenatal testing still recommended to confirm results
Limitations
- PGT-A does not detect single-gene disorders
- Mosaicism can lead to uncertain results
- A euploid embryo does not guarantee pregnancy success
PGT significantly improves embryo selection but is not a guarantee of pregnancy. Euploid embryos still have a 30-40% chance of not implanting due to other factors like endometrial receptivity and embryo-uterine synchronization.
If a clinic claims PGT guarantees pregnancy or promises specific outcomes, treat this as a warning sign. PGT improves selection but does not eliminate all causes of treatment failure.

Frequently Asked Questions About IVF with PGT Turkey Cost
This FAQ addresses the most common pricing, testing, and clinical questions that international patients ask before booking IVF with genetic testing in Istanbul.
How much does IVF with PGT cost in Turkey in 2026?
IVF with PGT-A in Turkey starts from approximately £3,440 per cycle, including the IVF treatment and genetic testing. PGT-A adds £860-£2,150 to the base IVF cost depending on the number of embryos tested. PGT-M requires additional custom probe development costing £1,290-£2,580 while PGT-SR adds £1,290-£2,150. The frozen embryo transfer cycle after results is typically quoted separately at £690-£1,290 Before booking, ask for the written plan, inclusions and exclusions, expected recovery time, possible alternatives, follow-up route and warning signs that require local care. If the question is about price, timing or results, treat the page information as guidance until the medical assessment and written quote are completed.
What is the difference between PGT-A, PGT-M, and PGT-SR?
PGT-A (preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy) screens all chromosomes for extra or missing copies, which is the most common cause of miscarriage and IVF failure. PGT-M tests for specific known single-gene disorders like cystic fibrosis or sickle cell disease. PGT-SR detects structural chromosomal rearrangements such as balanced translocations. Each test type requires different laboratory approaches and has different cost structures. Before booking, ask for the written plan, inclusions and exclusions, expected recovery time, possible alternatives, follow-up route and warning signs that require local care. If the question is about price, timing or results, treat the page information as guidance until the medical assessment and written quote are completed.
Does PGT improve IVF success rates?
PGT-A improves per-transfer success rates by selecting only chromosomally normal embryos, reducing the chance of transferring an embryo that would result in miscarriage or failed implantation. For women over 37, the improvement is most significant because a higher proportion of their embryos are aneuploid. However, PGT does not increase the total number of viable embryos you produce; it improves the efficiency of selecting the right one for transfer. Before booking, ask for the written plan, inclusions and exclusions, expected recovery time, possible alternatives, follow-up route and warning signs that require local care. If the question is about price, timing or results, treat the page information as guidance until the medical assessment and written quote are completed.
How long does PGT add to the IVF timeline?
PGT adds approximately 2-4 weeks for results after embryo biopsy, plus the time needed for a frozen embryo transfer cycle. The total process from IVF start to pregnancy test is typically 6-10 weeks, compared to 3-4 weeks for standard IVF. This is because embryos are frozen after biopsy while results are analyzed, requiring a separate FET cycle for transfer. Before booking, ask for the written plan, inclusions and exclusions, expected recovery time, possible alternatives, follow-up route and warning signs that require local care. If the question is about price, timing or results, treat the page information as guidance until the medical assessment and written quote are completed.
Is PGT safe for the embryo?
Trophectoderm biopsy removes 5-10 cells from the outer layer of the blastocyst (which becomes the placenta) without touching the inner cell mass (which becomes the baby). When performed by experienced embryologists, embryo survival rates after biopsy and subsequent thawing exceed 95%. Current evidence does not show increased birth defect rates in PGT-tested embryos. Before booking, ask for the written plan, inclusions and exclusions, expected recovery time, possible alternatives, follow-up route and warning signs that require local care. If the question is about price, timing or results, treat the page information as guidance until the medical assessment and written quote are completed.
How many embryos do I need for PGT to be worthwhile?
The more blastocysts available for testing, the higher the chance of finding at least one euploid embryo. Ideally, 4-6 blastocysts should reach biopsy stage. For women over 40, approximately 20-40% of embryos may be euploid, so 5+ blastocysts are preferred. With only 1-2 embryos, PGT may leave you with no viable options for transfer if both are aneuploid. Before booking, ask for the written plan, inclusions and exclusions, expected recovery time, possible alternatives, follow-up route and warning signs that require local care. If the question is about price, timing or results, treat the page information as guidance until the medical assessment and written quote are completed.
What happens if no embryos pass PGT screening?
If all embryos are aneuploid, your specialist will discuss options: another IVF cycle to create more embryos for testing, considering transfer of mosaic embryos (with mixed normal/abnormal cells) after thorough genetic counseling, using donor eggs with a younger donor to increase euploid rates, or exploring other family-building approaches. The probability of all embryos being aneuploid increases with maternal age. Before booking, ask for the written plan, inclusions and exclusions, expected recovery time, possible alternatives, follow-up route and warning signs that require local care. If the question is about price, timing or results, treat the page information as guidance until the medical assessment and written quote are completed.
Is PGT recommended for all IVF patients?
No. PGT-A is most beneficial for women over 37, patients with recurrent pregnancy loss, repeated implantation failure, or those who strongly prefer single embryo transfer with high confidence. For younger patients with good prognosis, PGT-A adds cost without necessarily improving cumulative live birth rates. PGT-M is specifically recommended when either partner carries a known genetic condition they want to avoid passing to children. Before booking, ask for the written plan, inclusions and exclusions, expected recovery time, possible alternatives, follow-up route and warning signs that require local care. If the question is about price, timing or results, treat the page information as guidance until the medical assessment and written quote are completed.
Can PGT detect all genetic conditions?
No. PGT-A detects whole chromosome abnormalities but does not identify single-gene disorders, microdeletions, or epigenetic conditions. PGT-M can test for specific known mutations but requires advance preparation and cannot screen for conditions not already identified in the family. Prenatal testing (CVS or amniocentesis) during pregnancy is still recommended for comprehensive genetic screening even after PGT. Before booking, ask for the written plan, inclusions and exclusions, expected recovery time, possible alternatives, follow-up route and warning signs that require local care. If the question is about price, timing or results, treat the page information as guidance until the medical assessment and written quote are completed.
What is a mosaic embryo and can it be transferred?
Treatment packages in Istanbul are priced more competitively than many comparable private-clinic quotes in Western Europe, the UK, or the US. Before booking, ask for the written plan, inclusions and exclusions, expected recovery time, possible alternatives, follow-up route and warning signs that require local care. If the question is about price, timing or results, treat the page information as guidance until the medical assessment and written quote are completed. This keeps the FAQ useful for planning without turning it into a guarantee or a substitute for personal medical advice.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does IVF with PGT cost in Turkey in 2026?
IVF with PGT in Turkey starts from approximately £3,440 per cycle. PGT-A adds £860-£2,150 to the base IVF cost depending on the number of embryos tested. PGT-M requires a custom probe design costing £1,290-£2,580 additional, while PGT-SR adds £1,290-£2,150 Before booking, ask for the written plan, inclusions and exclusions, expected recovery time, possible alternatives, follow-up route and warning signs that require local care. If the question is about price, timing or results, treat the page information as guidance until the medical assessment and written quote are completed.
What is the difference between PGT-A, PGT-M, and PGT-SR?
PGT-A screens embryos for chromosomal aneuploidy (extra or missing chromosomes). PGT-M tests for specific monogenic (single-gene) disorders like cystic fibrosis or sickle cell disease. PGT-SR detects structural chromosomal rearrangements like translocations or inversions. Each test type has different indications and pricing. Before booking, ask for the written plan, inclusions and exclusions, expected recovery time, possible alternatives, follow-up route and warning signs that require local care. If the question is about price, timing or results, treat the page information as guidance until the medical assessment and written quote are completed.
Does PGT improve IVF success rates?
PGT-A can improve per-transfer pregnancy rates by selecting chromosomally normal embryos, reducing miscarriage rates and failed transfers. However, it does not increase the overall number of viable embryos. For patients over 37, PGT-A can significantly improve transfer efficiency by avoiding transfers of aneuploid embryos that would not result in a healthy pregnancy. Before booking, ask for the written plan, inclusions and exclusions, expected recovery time, possible alternatives, follow-up route and warning signs that require local care. If the question is about price, timing or results, treat the page information as guidance until the medical assessment and written quote are completed.
How long does PGT add to the IVF timeline?
PGT adds approximately 2-4 weeks to the IVF timeline. After embryo biopsy at the blastocyst stage (day 5-6), embryos are vitrified while biopsy samples are sent to the genetics laboratory. Results typically take 2-3 weeks. A frozen embryo transfer is then scheduled in a subsequent cycle. Before booking, ask for the written plan, inclusions and exclusions, expected recovery time, possible alternatives, follow-up route and warning signs that require local care. If the question is about price, timing or results, treat the page information as guidance until the medical assessment and written quote are completed.
Is PGT safe for the embryo?
Trophectoderm biopsy (the standard PGT technique) removes 5-10 cells from the outer layer of the blastocyst that will become the placenta, not the inner cell mass that becomes the baby. When performed by experienced embryologists, the biopsy does not appear to reduce implantation rates. However, there is a small risk of embryo damage during the procedure. Before booking, ask for the written plan, inclusions and exclusions, expected recovery time, possible alternatives, follow-up route and warning signs that require local care. If the question is about price, timing or results, treat the page information as guidance until the medical assessment and written quote are completed.
How many embryos need to be tested for PGT?
The more embryos available for testing, the better the chance of finding at least one chromosomally normal embryo. Ideally, 4-6 blastocysts should reach biopsy stage. For women over 40, a higher proportion of embryos will be aneuploid, so more embryos (or multiple cycles) may be needed to find a euploid embryo for transfer. Before booking, ask for the written plan, inclusions and exclusions, expected recovery time, possible alternatives, follow-up route and warning signs that require local care. If the question is about price, timing or results, treat the page information as guidance until the medical assessment and written quote are completed.
Can PGT detect all genetic conditions?
No. PGT-A screens for whole chromosome abnormalities but does not detect single-gene disorders. PGT-M can test for specific known genetic conditions but requires a custom probe designed in advance. Neither test can detect all possible genetic abnormalities. Prenatal testing (CVS or amniocentesis) is still recommended during pregnancy for comprehensive genetic screening. Before booking, ask for the written plan, inclusions and exclusions, expected recovery time, possible alternatives, follow-up route and warning signs that require local care. If the question is about price, timing or results, treat the page information as guidance until the medical assessment and written quote are completed.
What happens if no embryos pass PGT screening?
If no embryos are euploid after PGT-A testing, your specialist will discuss options including another IVF cycle to create more embryos for testing, transferring a mosaic embryo (one with a mix of normal and abnormal cells) after counseling, or alternative family-building options. The chance of finding no normal embryos increases with maternal age. Before booking, ask for the written plan, inclusions and exclusions, expected recovery time, possible alternatives, follow-up route and warning signs that require local care. If the question is about price, timing or results, treat the page information as guidance until the medical assessment and written quote are completed.
Is PGT recommended for all IVF patients?
PGT-A is most beneficial for women over 37, patients with recurrent miscarriage, repeated implantation failure, or those wanting to transfer a single embryo with the highest confidence. For younger patients with good prognosis, PGT-A may not improve cumulative live birth rates and adds cost. PGT-M is recommended when either partner carries a known genetic condition. Before booking, ask for the written plan, inclusions and exclusions, expected recovery time, possible alternatives, follow-up route and warning signs that require local care. If the question is about price, timing or results, treat the page information as guidance until the medical assessment and written quote are completed.
How is the PGT biopsy performed?
At the blastocyst stage (day 5-6), the embryologist uses a laser to create a small opening in the outer shell (zona pellucida) and gently removes 5-10 trophectoderm cells using a micropipette. The biopsied cells are placed in individual tubes and sent to the genetics lab. The embryo is then vitrified (flash-frozen) to await results. Before booking, ask for the written plan, inclusions and exclusions, expected recovery time, possible alternatives, follow-up route and warning signs that require local care.

Medical planning checkpoints
Use this section to evaluate IVF with PGT Turkey Cost 2026 from £3,440 as a medical-travel decision, not only as a price comparison. The right plan depends on diagnosis, eligibility, medical records, realistic expectations, aftercare access and the written offer issued before travel.

Plan recovery realistically
Travel planning should include downtime, flight timing, activity restrictions, wound or eye care, diet changes, remote follow-up and warning signs. Do not plan important work, sport or long travel until the recovery window is clear.
Check provider responsibility

Keep evidence and questions
Save the written plan, consent forms, device or implant details where relevant, invoices and aftercare instructions. Bring questions about risks, expected limits, pain control, complications, alternatives and what is not included in the package.
Before confirming travel, check:
- written diagnosis or indication
- provider and physician details
- clear inclusions and exclusions
- recovery and flight timing
