Research Article: Family planning and preimplantation testing: family experiences in congenital adrenal hyperplasia
Abstract:
Introduction: Pre-implantation testing (PGT) is often suggested by healthcare professionals (HCP) to parents of children with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) considering subsequent children. Despite this, some families choose to conceive naturally without genetic testing and intervention. The aims of this study were to explore fertility choices of couples with a child with CAH and the decision making process and perceptions behind these choices, and to explore the families’ lived experiences with CAH and the couples’ subsequent fertility journey. A better healthcare professional understanding of these experiences may subsequently help guide clinicians to better manage and support families of children with CAH and other autosomal recessive conditions.
