Dear Peter,
I'm new here, but about to start 3rd ICSI attempt. No previous children, but a very early m/c a year and a half ago. My partner has a balanced genetic translocation, discovered a few years back. His sister had a series of miscarriages, was tested, discovered the translocation, and as a result of this my partner was subsequently tested. She has gone on to have 2 children naturally.
My question is:
In your experience, does a translocation affect conception in a different way if it's the man, through his sperm, that carries it instead of the woman? Are we less likely to conceive compared to my partner's sister?
Thank you in advance!
