Consider what carrier results could mean for you and your partnerâespecially if you both carry the same condition, which affects 2-3% of couples.
Set aside 15-30 minutes of uninterrupted time to discuss these important findings with your partner.
When both partners are carriers, each pregnancy has a 25% chance of being affected by the condition, though there are options to manage this risk.
If you decide not to pursue testing during pregnancy, it's important to know what support resources are available to you.
Remember that your results may have implications for close relatives like siblings and cousins, who might also be carriers.
