Be sure you understand what this means. 20% higher chance (of a 1% baseline) is vastly different from a 20% chance.


I think its pretty clear which case is being discussed. 20% increase in chance is not something to generally worry about.


This is through the grapevine. I thought they said 20% likelihood, not 20% higher likelihood. But this isn’t me and I don’t know the numbers well.

I do know that this woman chose to not use her own eggs for their child. And you would think that going from 1-1.2% would not make you do that. Perhaps there is another variable involved that I am unaware of. Her sister developed it after their parents divorce in her 30s fwiw.
