IVF only due to genetic screening

Hi, I am wondering if anyone else has had IVF only because of genetic disorders which they wish to screen for?

I have been fortunate enough not to have had issue getting pregnant before, one DS and 1 miscarriage but have now learnt my DS has a medical condition which DH and I are carriers for.

Feel quite torn and emotional about the IVF process when I feel I shouldn't need it. I know that probably sounds silly and I would be choosing it to avoid another child having a potentially life threatening illness and I could risk it with a natural attempt.

I just wondered if anyone else had been through this and could offer any words of wisdom.

Thank you.
