Kate from Hampshire joins us on the show to discuss her IVF journey and the process of genetic testing. Kate found out at age 16 that she was a carrier of the genetic condition Fragile X syndrome and as a result, in her teens, she decided she would never have children. In 2006, new advances in IVF treatment and the introduction of PGD (pre-implantation genetic diagnosis) meant Kate and her husband could rethink their idea of having a family. They were allowed three funded 'attempts' at IVF, and despite some bumps in the road along the way, they're now parents to an eleven-year-old daughter.
