Purpose: Embryo testing to improve pregnancy outcomes among individuals who are seeking assisted reproduction technologies is increasing. The purpose of this study was to assess decisional factors through in-depth interviews for why women would accept or decline preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) with in vitro fertilization (IVF).
