@beverlyfertility: Let’s talk about the two main types of genetic testing you might hear about during fertility treatment: Genetic carrier screening is a blood test done before treatment starts. It checks for recessive conditions like cystic fibrosis or spinal muscular atrophy—conditions you might unknowingly carry. If both you and your partner (or donor) are carriers, IVF with genetic testing can help avoid passing that condition to your child. PGT (pre-implantation genetic testing) happens during IVF. It screens embryos for spontaneous chromosomal abnormalities—like Down syndrome or other genetic issues linked to miscarriage or serious health conditions. You might feel perfectly healthy, but these tests look deeper—helping you make informed decisions when growing your family. #genetictesting #geneticscreening #ivf #pgt #fertilityawareness #fertilityclinic #fertilitysupport
