Starting or growing a family while living with polycystic kidney disease (PKD) brings unique challenges – and important choices. In this essential PKD Summit session, Dr. Nickan Motamedi walks you through the options available to individuals and couples who want to build a family while managing the risk of passing on PKD.

The session covers:
• The difference between autosomal dominant and recessive PKD, and how they’re inherited
• Natural conception with ultrasound or genetic testing during pregnancy
• Use of donor sperm or eggs to avoid passing on PKD
• IVF with preimplantation genetic testing (PGT-M)
• Provincial funding programs in Canada that may help with fertility costs

Whether you’re just beginning to think about children or are actively planning, this session will help you understand the full range of reproductive options – and how to make informed, empowered choices that are right for your family.

Includes a live question and answer period.
