Preconception carrier screening in couples seeking IVF: exploring the patient perspective
Although attitudes towards PCS were generally positive, some concerns were raised about treatment delays and potential reproductive dilemmas, and some couples had misconceptions about the purpose of screening within the context of their IVF/ICSI treatment. These findings highlight the importance of tailoring information and counselling to the specific needs of couples seeking IVF/ICSI.
