PGTA testing illegal in Portugal and antibodies.

[Weeseyannabox]

Hi all.
I know there's a few people on here who have babies using DE IVF in Portugal. I have been told under no circumstances to go ahead unless I can do PGTA. I can't. It's illegal in Portugal. We want to go with Portugal because it's non-anonymous. Any help with this? I wasn't worried about the PGTA until this particular person said it (she's in independent fertility person). There's genetic testing you can do to check for 2200 diseases. Obviously the embryo can still mutate to produce Down's Syndrome or other conditions, but I presume the genetic testing will rule out an awful lot.

Also, has anyone had the Indirect or Direct Coombs test done, and been told that because of the results, now their husband has to get it done? Did you bother? My husband is losing the will to live with all of the tests.

Thanks.

Hi, we didn't need the coombs because of our blood groups. We had the enhanced genetic testing done which screened for the hundreds of genetic disorders but don't think it was 2000. Good luck. It's a lot of tests - we looked at another country at one point and they only wanted two! Went with thorough instead!

@Sara237 Sara237 Thanks.

Forgot the key point that this was Portugal also!

Yeah, you cant do PGTA unless you know, for a fact, that you are carrier or a genetic disease or if you have repeated failures.
But you CAN do genetic testing agaisnt the donor, which is basically just as good. It rules out most genetic illnesses.
