Have you ever wondered if genetic testing before pregnancy is something you should consider? In this episode, we chat with Dr. Millie Thakur, a reproductive endocrinologist, medical geneticist, and founder of Genome Ally, a telemedicine reproductive genetics company. She breaks down the many reasons why someone might want to see her before trying to conceive. Maybe you or your partner have a family history of genetic conditions, a newly discovered genetic mutation, or have experienced recurrent pregnancy loss. Or perhaps you are just curious about genetic testing on embryos and what it all means.

Dr. Thakur also gives us the scoop on the kinds of tests she can order and how they can provide valuable insights for hopeful parents. Plus, we talk about the cost of a visit, the benefits of speaking with a specialist before pregnancy, and what to expect from a consultation. If you have ever had questions about genetic counseling but didn’t know where to start, this episode is a must-listen. Join us as we dive into the fascinating world of reproductive genetics and learn how science is helping families make informed decisions about their future.
