Superior A.R.T.

“They have a son with HbH/CS disease”

Patient D, a 31-year-old Northern Thai woman whose son diagnosed with HbH/CS disease (–/-α^CS) which requiring blood transfusion, came for the PGD assistance program. The patient and her husband wanted to have an Alpha Thalassemia free HLA matched baby to cure their affected son.

At Superior A.R.T. , after determining – she had a high ovarian reserve and normal uterine lining, the patient underwent a cycle of COS using a GnRH antagonist protocol.

Unfortunately, they had no matched embryo from 15 tested embryos in the first COS cycle. Two months later, in the second cycle, they got one carrier matched embryo from 11 biopsied embryos. Following embryo transfer, the hCG rose, fetal heart was detected, and she gave birth to a healthy boy in May 2019.

“OVARIAN RESERVE”

Patient K, 37 years old from Thailand approached Superior A.R.T. after another clinic refused to treat her because of her very low AMH and long history of infertility. Dr Weena counselled the patient that she had a chance of success with her own eggs, and recommended doing PGD-NGS. K. underwent two ovarian stimulations cycles resulting in 3 embryos and 2 embryos being biopsied and tested by PGD-NGS. Two embryos of the five embryos were apparently chromosomally normal, and both transferred to K. resulting in the birth of a single healthy baby boy. K. was thrilled that she came to Superior A.R.T. and was given the chance to use her own eggs to have the baby they dreamed off.
