[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just dont totally see the point of it. We are on track for IUI and honestly cant afford IVF, so I dont know what we would do with the information. The only course of action if something pops up on the genetic testing would by to do IVF and screen the embryos, right? We have one child already conceived naturally. Did anyone else skip the genetic screening? Am I crazy for skipping it?

I don't think you're crazy for skipping it.  Plenty of people have babies without getting genetic screening.

Is genetic screening totally worthless if you won't do IVF?  No.  It can help you to be prepared for the possibility that your child will have a serious condition, or for other issues.  For example I found out I am a carrier for a rare condition, and even though my husband is not a carrier, the newborn screening can have false positives for this condition if the mother is a carrier.  So that's good to know, if not essential.  Definitely worth it if covered by insurance. [/quote]
