This service supports people who are planning to have fertility treatment using either donor eggs, sperm or embryos.

All clinic recruited donors undergo genetic carrier screening as part of their obligations for being a donor. This is the case for all local and international donors.

Most Fertility groups strongly recommend that individuals using donor gametes (egg, sperm or embryo) also undergo Carrier screening too.

This service provides you with a Genetic counselling consultation to help you understand the benefits, possible outcomes and limitations of Carrier screening.

We will contact you within 5 business days to discuss next steps

What you will receive

Eugene’s Genetic counsellors are passionate about ensuring you understand your results. As part of this service you will receive:

  • A reproductive risk assessment which helps you understand how your donors results influence your children’s chances of being impacted by an inherited genetic condition.
  • If you have had carrier screening yourself, it will compare how you and your donors results relate to each and how this influences your children’s chances of being impacted by an inherited genetic condition.
  • A complimentary Genetic counselling appointment to discuss the reproductive risks and your options in detail.
What you will receive

Is this appointment right for me?

This appointment is designed for people who:

  • are using donor gametes (egg, sperm and/or embryo) where the donor has already undergone carrier screening.
  • have had carrier screening performed through a provider other than Eugene and wish to have these results compared to their chosen donors.
  • have chosen not to undertake carrier screening themselves to understand how their donors results and their chance of being a carrier may influence health outcomes for their future children.
