[quote=Anonymous]I did a carrier screening before IVF and found that I was a carrier for cystic fibrosis. We hadmy husband tested as well and found out he was unfortunately a carrier as well. So we did PGT-M as part of the ivf process. It adds significant time prior to starting IVF. DNA samples were needed from myself, my husband and both sets of parents(that was an awkward request because we hadn't yet brought up that we were doing IVF). It took 4+ weeks to build the "probe" that's needed to perform the testing (and we were told 4+ weeks is shorter than it can take but CF is very common). It then added additional time after retrieval to have the embreyos tested (think it was an additional 4 weeks). And the whole thing cost at least $4,000 (again this is on the cheaper side of what it can cost because CF is so common). In short I certainly wouldn't jump into doing PGT-M instead of having your partner get the carrier screen. In fact I don't even think they'd be able to do PGT-M without your partner doing the carrier screen because they need to know specifics about you and your partner's specific genetic mutation.[/quote]
