How does my family history of schizophrenia impact my child's risk?

Having family members that have been diagnosed with schizophrenia increases the chance your child will be affected. Tap once on family members who have been diagnosed and twice on family members who are unaffected.

How does the number of embryos impact my child's risk?

The more embryos you choose from, the lower your child's risk — with diminishing returns past the first few. Enter the number of chromosomally normal (euploid) embryos you will be selecting from to see how it affects the risk chart above. If you haven't begun your IVF cycle, you won't know this number yet, but you can still estimate (women in their late twenties average 4-5 euploid embryos).
