IVF twins can undergo screening?

Patient's question:

I am 36 years old this year, and I have undergone in vitro fertilization, resulting in twins. I would like to ask if there is a test for Down syndrome for in vitro fertilization twins? If it can be done, at which week is it best to do it? Why did the doctor suggest I have a cord blood test? Is it safe?

Doctor's answer:

Hello! The indications for IVF are only one situation where tubal surgery fails to open. The success rate is low, the cost is high, and the time is long, so it should not be used first. Instead, laparoscopy and hysteroscopy should be used to treat the primary disease.
We know that Down syndrome causes significant harm to children. If it is not treated in time or if the treatment method is incorrect, its progression is rapid, and it can bring great harm to the child. Therefore, parents should pay close attention to the child's condition and take them for treatment promptly.
