We first visited the doctor in May 2022 and spent over an hour asking all of our questions and learnt more about IVF, as well as extra procedures we have to go through due to my genetic disorder. After having serious thoughts about this, we have decided to go for it and hence arranged another appointment to sign all legal documents as well as taking blood for some basic testings as well as a procedure called "Workup before PGT".
The basic blood test was to see whether we have any STDs such as Hepatitis B and HIV or not. As for the "Workup before PGT", it's only for me and this is necessary in order to perform PGT-M at a later stage.
For couples who do not need PGT, the women may start their IVF journey when they get their menstrual period after they have got the basic blood test results. However, for me, I need to wait for the report from "Workup before PGT"and this takes around 4-6 weeks.
