    Bebedream-when you start on PGD they have to develope a test (probe) to test your embryo's for the gene/chromosone fault first, in my case they did the whole DNA sequencing to isolate the gene for SLO( smith lemlio opitz syndrome) that was done after abbi's autopsy at a lab in Adelaide (6 week's eprox) then the report was sent to the IVF geneticist and PGD scientist we sent off our DNA week's ago to get thing's moving along while waiting for the DNA the scientist then have my DH and me and abbi's gene it is identified so then they send off to America for a few test kit's so to speak so they see if it will pick up the fault and all the fragment' around that gene that give's a 99% accuracy and if those test's don't work they have to send off for more and that can take time every one is told 8-12 week's to develope the probe as we got all the testing done before we even went to see SIVF i that knocked some time off.The scientist had found our marker's and everything is ready to go they are just waiting on the test's from America and if the 1st one's work we could get a phone call any day now but i am saying 8 week's in case they have to order a few different test's and the shipping time from the US is 2-3 week's so if what the scientist is saying it wont be long i just don't want to get my hope's up sorry to rave on i hope that all help's and to the other girl's please correct me if i'm not quite accurate in my term's ect or if i have been missinformed some how.
