Our honesty policy.
Genetics is only one part of the pregnancy puzzle. This test does not cover all risks associated with pregnancy, so always stick to best practices and guidelines regardless of the result and regularly consult with your obstetrician or GP during your pregnancy.
What can I expect from the results?
You get peace of mind, or life changing information.
Most people get peace of mind.
7 out of 10 people find out they are healthy carriers of at least one condition. However, most genetic conditions can only be passed on to your child if you and your partner are carriers of the same condition.
The good thing is, most couples who have this test find out that they are not carriers of the same condition. Knowing this in advance can give you confidence, reassurance and peace of mind that you have significantly reduced your risk of having a child born with one of these conditions.
Others get life changing information.
1 out of 40 couples find out that they are carriers of the same condition. For these couples, there’s a 25% (1 in 4) chance that they could have a child that is affected by the condition.
This can be overwhelming, but honestly, it’s really important to know. Knowing your risk can help you make empowered choices about how you plan your pregnancy, or even significantly reduce the risk of having a child affected by the condition.
What happens if you get something?
Understanding risk to make empowered choices.
In the off-chance that you get back something, understanding this risk in advance can help you be practically, emotionally and culturally prepared to make empowered choices that feel right for you.
Emotional considerations
Getting test results back can be confusing and worrying. Our counsellors help you through this with thoughtful guidance and support 24/7.
Practical considerations
Knowing your options can be empowering only if you can understand them. We help you decode the medical acronyms and navigate your choices.
Cultural considerations
Planning a family can be influenced by religion, culture, family, experiences and more. We find you the support networks that understand you.
Emotional considerations
Let’s call it like it is: Health information can bring up all sorts of worries and questions that we aren’t always emotionally prepared for. Our genetic counsellors are trained to help people through this with thoughtful guidance and support.
Navigating the self
Genetic testing can sometimes change the way people see themselves, perceive risk, and plan their future to include what’s important to them.
Navigating the partner
Having a carrier partner can bring up confusing emotions. Eugene counsellors help people navigate this complex intersection of health and relationships.
Navigating the “we”
Finding out health information as a couple can be stressful. Eugene counsellors can help couples consider what’s important to them.
Practical considerations
Knowing your options can be empowering — if you can manage to get through the acronyms, bureaucracy and google search blackholes. Eugene gives each person immediate, trustworthy information when they need it.
Doing it naturally
Some conceive naturally and accept the risk. Others do prenatal tests to see if the pregnancy is affected, and then consider their choices.
Taking advantage of science
Some do IVF & PGD to significantly reduce the risk of having a child affected by the genetic condition, but this can be expensive and time consuming.
Something else entirely
There are a million ways to have a family. Adoption, donor eggs, sperm, or embryos are all options many consider.
Cultural considerations
Planning a family is a deeply personal choice that is influenced by our perspectives, families, friends, cultures, religions, personal experiences and more.
Getting good care means having a support network who understand you. We embrace cultural diversity as we hand-select the best and most caring counsellors who understand your perspective.
