Hi,
I am not thinking about conceiving until at least 2 years time. However, I have recently discovered I have a balanced translocation and am subsequently at a 20% risk of giving birth to a child with an unbalanced translocation. I have been told that it is very likely I'd get NHS funding for PGD, but that a referral can only really be made when I am ready for pregnancy.
I'm quite sensitive and this news has just made me feel anxious and as though I have failed in my relationship. My partner is incredibly supportive and I know he will be there with me all the way, but I can't help the way I am feeling. I also have terrible hospital phobia so the process of PGD/IVF seems even more daunting.
I don't really have anyone I can share this with, and so I just wondered whether anyone on here has had any similar feelings, and whether it is normal to feel this way?
