PGD/IVF - where to begin?

[LionsandBears]

I don't think much of it is covered, so it's worth going through VGCS, if only to find out your options.

I have emailed Melbourne IVF and VCGS Pathology with some questions so will wait to hear back.

I'm not worried, and not stressing at all. Would just like the peace of mind more than anything!

I just got an email back from VCGS:

Genetic testing is funded by the state government for families in whom a genetic condition has been identified; if you fit into this, then any test costs and counseling will be covered. There is no Medicare item number for muscular dystrophy tests; the clinical team would be able to determine which muscular dystrophy may be present in your family.

Good to know!

That's good to know. I'd organise an appointment sooner than later if you want to TTC soon. There may be a wait.

We are TTC now, which is a little bit of a concern. AF due on Saturday, so if we're not already PG, we will likely skip the next cycle or two until this is sorted
