This was idea of Dr Sujoy Dasgupta sir to increase the awareness how we can try to solve genetic (Chromosomal and DNA sequence variation) by IVF. Just replacing own gamete by donor always will not solve the problem, why we need to check carrier status of different recessive conditions before pregnancy. Common hemoglobinopathies like thalassemia if couple again and again having homozygous fetus , diagnosed by prenatal testing using their own gamete how they can try for a healthy child? Focussing on preconceptional required genetic screening, genetic reasons of idiopathic infertility and how to solve those. Awareness always matters.
Yesterday one couple came to me, who went under two cycles of IVF second time it was successful but after 12 th week fetus determined with multiple congenital abnormalities, but without any genetic consultation, without product of conception testing to diagnose the genetic cause behind, just medically terminated. Now the couple is scared to proceed again and we don't know the exact reasons in their last fetus for those congenital anomalies. Here, genetic testing in product of conception can let us know the reason and we can plan accordingly how to proceed for next healthy pregnancy. My regards and thanks to team Genome The Fertility Centre , team Neotia Mediplus for focussing on this very necessary aspects of IVF utility.
