Genetic counselling is an essential part of the fertility journey for couples who are considering fertility treatments. It provides valuable insight into the potential risks and benefits associated with these treatments and helps couples understand their options.
Genetic counselling is a process where a trained genetic counsellor assesses the risk of a couple passing on genetic disorders to their offspring. It involves a comprehensive evaluation of the couple’s medical history, family history, and genetic testing results. Based on this evaluation, the genetic counsellor can provide the couple with information on the potential genetic conditions that may be passed on to their child, as well as the available options for fertility treatment.
In some cases, genetic counselling may identify a genetic condition that could potentially affect the outcome of the fertility treatment. For example, if a couple is at risk of passing on a genetic disorder, they may choose to undergo pre-implantation genetic testing (PGT) to screen embryos before they are transferred to the uterus. This can help to reduce the risk of passing on the genetic condition to their child.
