Understanding Genetics in Family Planning

It is often stated “The apple doesn’t fall from the tree”, referring to the fact that our children inherit many of our traits and characteristics, but also can be at risk for inheriting serious genetic diseases. The explosion we have witnessed in genetic research and technology over the past few decades has provided a unique opportunity for future parents to avoid passing along many childhood and even some adult diseases.

When it comes to pointing you in the right direction for solid genetic information and testing, our Fyrtle experts can discuss these valuable options with you. In most cases preconception genetic testing involves a simple blood draw, and could be one of the most important blood tests you ever have!

Here’s what you can expect when you work with Fyrtle.

Step 1: Your Virtual Fyrtle ‘Check-in’

To get started we recommend that you initiate a complementary 15-20 minute conversation with one of our knowledgeable Client Navigators. These caring individuals have extensive experience and knowledge about all things fertility-related. They can answer your questions and help you determine if Steps 2 and 3 are right for you.

  • Learning a little about you: Based on your questions and goals, we want to feel confident that our Fyrtle clinicians and coaches can help you formulate a Fyrtle LifePlan.
  • Explaining your options: Since Fyrtle can offer an array of information to you on many topics, our Client Navigator can help you prioritize and organize how to move forward, while also explaining scheduling and costs.

Step 2: Designing Your Fyrtle LifePlan

This key step includes your consultations with an expert Fyrtle Clinician and/or Coach who are eager to provide you with all the attention and time you might need. Typically these consultations are scheduled in advance, and are intended to be friendly, empathetic, and highly informational.

  • Goal-Driven Questions and Information: Through an impactful and in-depth dialog we will discuss your general and reproductive health history and explore your family-building goals.
  • Goal-Driven Planning: Together we will formulate your Fyrtle LifePlan, which is intended to be a blueprint for your future family building action plan. Your Fyrtle LifePlan can certainly be adjusted or fine-tuned, depending on how your overall journey progresses.

Step 3: Implementing your Fyrtle LifePlan

  • Your Action Plan: Whether you decide to pursue testing, treatments, further consults, or need to take some time for more thought and contemplation, we’re available to help. After all, this is your Fyrtle LifePlan, and we know plans can change as new information is learned.
  • Ongoing Implementation and Support: Our collaborative Fyrtle Team is here to help you achieve your action plan. We are here for questions, support, and navigation of the complex fertility healthcare system. We know how to help our clients!
