IVF -- Can we get absolutely normal child with it?
« on: July 29, 2013, 07:07:55 PM »
Hi,

I have beta thal E intermedia and my husband is healthy.  Is there any way to get absolutely thal trait free child from IVF? Also, pls suggest what is a better option -- gonadotrophin therapy or IVF -- if natural conception doesn't occur?

Since you carry beta thal and HbE, all your children would carry one or the other, but not both. I assume you mean your husband is not a carrier, so your children would have no possibility of having anything more than beta minor or be HbE carriers. Neither poses any danger, so there would be no reason for IVF.

All we are saying is give thals a chance.
