Genetic counseling: It is very important you and your husband speak with a genetic counselor about the possible risks associated with doing ivf when the father has klinefelter syndrome. The likelihood of passing on a chromosomal abnormality is difficult to predict, and some recommend preimplantation testing. See http://emedicine.Medscape.Com/article/945649-treatment for more info. I wish you both the best.
