This is a specialized procedure where doctors test the fertilized embryos for chromosomal or genetic abnormalities before they are implanted. Anna has a genetic nerve disease and, after undergoing multiple surgeries and treatments throughout her life, she didn't want to pass that onto her children.

To help increase families' chances of a successful IVF treatment, many clinics offer "guarantee" programs and pricing packages. The programs differ slightly clinic to clinic, but these tend to be money-back guarantees for if the IVF does not result in a successful pregnancy and birth.
Patients pay more for the guarantee than they otherwise would if they were successful after just one IVF cycle.
