[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I would suggest adding PGS to your IVF protocol. That will tell you a lot more than Counsyl will.[/b] How soon do you expect your Counsyl results? An IVF cycle will start with 2-3 weeks of BCP, so you may have time before you really get into the thick of things.[/quote] The bolded part is wrong. PGS identifies anything only if there is an extra or missing chromosome. If there is a disorder resulting from both you and DH being carriers PGS will not catch it. Counsyl will tell you if you're a carrier for any of the 100 disorders they screen for. If both you and husband are carriers then you'll need a PGD of your embryos specifically for that. When I asked my SG nurse if both of us need Counsyl she said yes - because they rarely see people who have 100% normal report. Ironically DH turned out to be one of them. I have both biotin defficiencey gene and clotting mutations. [/quote]
