Pgt testing + genetic carrier bloodwork
Show your support
@Carmen thanks that’s what I was leaning toward too especially because that’s my hubby’s main fear about TTC at our age - possibly risking an unhealthy baby with a disorder of some kind - it’s frustrating though since the process has been slow to get started I’m more than ready to get the retrieval done!
I completely understand, if it helps one of my first delays was that I needed to get my chickenpox vaccine because I didn’t have immunity anymore and cried when I learned I had to wait another month or so… so the feeling is very understandable - now I’ve built up more patience but still struggle when there’s something that delays a step in the process
We did both (and extra genetic testing for a genetic issue that I have). You won’t regret waiting an extra month if it could potentially tell you about an issue you didn’t know about!
@IRD thanks the waiting is hard but I think you’re right
My husband and I did genetic testing and though it delayed us, we found we do have a recessive gene match. I’m so happy we did the testing, it was worth the delay 🩷 It’s so difficult to have to make all these heavy decisions that can hold so much weight. But asl always, do what feels right to you. Best of luck
What I’ve learned throughout this journey of IVF is that you will find yourself making these decisions time and time again of do I delay or do I prefer piece of mind… on my end I always opted for piece of mind and once I made the decision it was easier to be ok with waiting a bit longer, this all requires a LOT of patience, good luck!!!
