More Tests

Today I went to LabCorp for my genetic testing bloodwork. I will be tested to see if I am a carrier of the following:
  • SMA (Spinal Muscular Atrophy)
  • Cystic Fibrosis

If my bloodwork shows that I am a carrier of either of these, then DH will also undergo testing for these. If both of us are carriers, there is a pretty good chance that our child(ren) could actually inherit these disorders.

The genetic counselor also advised for me to have a a hemoglobin profile done, as well. I'm not really sure what this is, but it it comes back abnormal, I will do more research and post what that means, as well.
