Hello
First time posting.
My partner has NF1 also known as neurofibromatosis. He has it very midly and its not really affected him at all apart from one benign tumor on his tongue. He does have some on his chest as well but they just look like spots.
Neither of his parents have it so he didn't inherit genetically. However there is a 50% chance our baby could have it and you can never predict how severe it could be as everyone with it is different.
We are wanting to TTC and it just keeps crossing my mind. I had made the decision that we would try and see what happens the child will be loved no matter what. But I still keep getting a little worry in my head. I know the other option is IVF but not sure if I would be able to go through that. I'm 29 and desperate for a baby.
Please be kind in responses. I just wonder if anyone has been in a similar situation with the same disorder.
Thank you.
