Re: PAIF Check-in 5/12
Any symptoms? same symptoms, different day
Rant/Rave? found out we are having a girl!
Next appointment? Now that I'm a regular OB patient, I'm at the monthly visits for a while. It'll take some getting used to.
Questions? We transferred a mosaic embryo and it was suggested that we do genetic testing at some point. However all the testing such as NIPT only tests for the "big" stuff like down syndrome and we know that our defect is not one of the big one, which means really only an amniocentesis would be able to detect if the embryo actually has the genetic defect detected on the PGT testing. Anyone else who did fet or even fresh transfer who decided to do genetic testing, or not to?
