Call for participants!
Cardiff University are asking those with PCD (18 years of age and over) to take part in a research study looking at thoughts and feelings towards family planning and reproductive decisions. Recent research recommends genetic counselling or fertility counselling prior to having children for those with PCD, therefore, postgraduate research by Cardiff University is being carried out to look into the perspective and experiences of those with PCD. Your input will help to improve the support and information offered to those with PCD.
The interview will be carried out over the phone or online and will consist of open-ended questions, providing an opportunity to have a conversation about factors influencing reproductive decisions, opinions and experiences of fertility or genetic counselling to support family planning decisions and the effects of PCD-related fertility challenges on individuals.
Participants should not take part in this research if they feel the study will cause distress.

You need to be:
· 18 years of age or over
· Have a diagnosis of PCD
